Me too, said to OH this evening that hopefully these two are keeping a very low profile for the forseeable future!

      A pair of untalented Rectums, and about as unpleasant.

I learned yesterday that Andrew Sachs played Dr. Watson in a very long running radio Sherlock series. Just one of the many platforms for this outstanding voice actor. Of course, he will be best remembered for a meagre 12 episodes of Watery Fowls/Flowery Twats/Fawlty Towers but so much other work as well. RIP.

I also understand that he wrote a play which consisted only of sound effects.

A multi talented man.

At the risk of being shot down in flames but why do people keep relating Andrew Sachs to Russell Brand and Jonathon Ross yes I know about the phone call on the answering machine but it was 8 years ago now!  They apoligised and Mr Sachs accepted their apology...

                        That says it all.     Heartbreaking.

This week it would be good to focus upon the the achievements of the deceased and the pleasure these gave.
