What a batsman against the pace quartet of the West Indies!

RIP Robin Smith.

Stanley Baxter 99

I assumed he died years ago, tbh. I rather liked his shows

I mainly know him in a few small film roles in the 50s-60s. Like Crooks Anonymous, or The Fast Lady where he aspired to date Julie Christie! Which was more of a lead role.

Only remember him for female impersonation on tv. Got the feeling I was a bit too young to understand.

he did a good Queen, which now that I've read a bit about him, probably should have surprised nobody.

I do remember his Parliamo Glasgow sketches, but then I'm a little bit older than you. I was only young then, so perhaps I saw something on it when Billy Connelly took the idea and ran with it in the 70's. I do sometimes wonder as well whether Harry Enfield perhaps expanded on the concept with his Mr Chomondley Warner sketches, but that might just be me..... probably is just me, the more I think about it

I was thinking of Stanley Baker. He definitely died ears ago.

I'm definitely more of a Stanley Baker enthusiast.
