Angus Deayton? Don’t think his career ever recovered completely. Think it’s ironic that Richard Bacon bounced back more successfully despite being a Blue Peter presenter

It’s still quite surprising how much work he has been doing and the types of shows he’s been in since his “disgrace”. He has been working consistently since he stopped presenting HIGNFY.

Anthea Turner.

Wasn’t he a main character on Nighty Night? Saw him on Room 101 as well recently

My cousin is a weaver (loom operative) and she runs workshops across Scotland. there are loads of us weavers out there!

Also, unless half of my client base is wrong, I think steam engineering is definitely still a thing.

Mine if I don’t stop procrastinating and get off this bleeding website.

yeah they all still exist - I mean I know a guy who makes medieval armour and weaponry for a living ffs - but you would still say that as career choices they’ve gone down the shitter since their respective hey days.

From reading magazines and newspapers occasionally, I have a feeling that proof readers and sub-editors no longer exist or are at least far fewer in number.

I see it more that they are now niche/highly sought after rather than mainstream/ up against loads of competition. But then I am a contrary little madam. :yum:

This is true. Most papers don’t have their own subs anymore and it’s all outsourced to shitty content farm-style agencies.

He was actually pretty great in Nighty Night.

Just thought that annoying man from the phones 4u commercial never went on to greater things-


Could have made an entire career from it like the weird Henry VIII bloke from the Safestyle ads

Tax dodger isnt he (safestyle man)

#86

Yes, just found that out. Thought I hadn’t seen him on TV for a while. Still don’t get the whole Henry VIII costume thing though

#87

The “Ready, Steady
Crook!” headline from around that time still brings a smile to my face now

#88

Bit harsh, a lot of people still seem to like him.
