Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Corrie it was and the character was Leonard Swindley who employed Emily Nugent in his drapers. The link of course being John le Mesurier - Dads Army-Arthur Lowe - Corrie!! 45 points forva good effort

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
JLM was in 4 episodes of Pardon the Expression, so the Arthur Lowe link is superfluous

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
What's Pardon the Expression got to do with Corrie?

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Pardon The Expression was a spin-off from Corrie.
"Pardon The Expression! is an ITV sitcom made by Granada Television, that was first broadcast from Wednesday 2 June 1965 to Monday 27 June 1966. The sitcom was one of four spin-offs from the highly popular soap opera Coronation Street."

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
So who was Basil's voice based on then?

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Sorry, yes - Neil was right - Basil's voice (and the character of Dick Dastardly) was based on Thomas Terry Hoar Stevens. For most of his career, Basil's voice and puppetry was supplied by Ivan Owen who made sure he - quite literally - kept his head below the parapet as he didn't want to be known and didn't want to detract from Basil's fame
In my mind, any time anyone mentions either a Triumph Stag or a Jagwarrrr, it should be done so in the voice of Terry Thomas - it just seems so right pronounced that way

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
When I first saw the pic I thought it was Louis Mountbatten and Sevvy Ballesteros would you believe!! What's worse is I havn't got any other names yet!! I do wonder if it is at Andrews Airforce Base?
