The Parkie, Biffa Bacon and Big Vern were all a good laugh. Roger Mellie had good moments as well.
Not really, no. Simon (the chap who posted on the late Steve Donald's website) was 'silent co-editor' for a spell earlier this decade.Quote:

This group included the writers & cartoonists Graham Dury, Simon Thorp, Davey Jones, Alex Collier & C&S Donald's younger brother Simon.
Collier & Simon Donald left the editorial staff in 2003.

Heard that this morning while wearing my bagpuss socks and my stripy gloves that look like bagpuss after getting out of bed from a night of cuddling my bagpuss toy. Yes I love bagpuss. Thank you Oliver. RIP. xQuote:

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, voice of the starship enterprise, nurse Chapel, Lwaxana Troi, and the only person to appear in Star Trek, The Next Generation, DS9, and Voyager passed away as a result of complications from leukemia. She was 76.
in what way was she connected to Gene,wife?
Yes.
Think she was his girlfriend at first during the original series, wife for years then until he died.
She was in the orignal pilot as a cold ruthless First Officer. Exec's didn't like her, or Spock. They said lose the girl or the alien. Roddenberry used say he kept the Alien and married the girl.
I remember her. She was a bit of all right!!Quote:
