How the Terry-Thomas Gala originated TV report

numerous celebrities interview s Terry-Thomas at home fighting Parkinson's Disease

[@ssimba2785]

Old age is ok when you are in good health and your mind is alert. Otherwise its hell. Feel sorry for Terry, God bless him and his wife.

[@marianlincoln9008]

I always enjoyed watching his performances. He was such a delightfully evil character you just had to love HIM, he was so FUNNY.

[@madeleine7411]

I am happy Terry Thomas is getting help He was a wonderful comic.

[@comanche66100]

From God. He died 31 years ago.

[@classiccarrebuilds2771]

A national treasure.

[@paulpalmtree9295]

Was enough money raised to actually help Terry Thomas or not ?. It’s scandalous really that’s a man like Terry Thomas should end up broke when people if they wanted to could have helped him free of charge after all Terry was a national treasure.

[@AtlantaTerry]

It was. Thank you.

[@nickday3541]

@@AtlantaTerry he was one in a million! ♥️

[@dvaidr]

It's scandalous that anybody should end up broke. Celebrities and non-celebrities are all in the same boat.

[@christineknight7299]

Yes, it was sad. Eventually people gets old.

[@ShadowsOnTheScreen]

Don’t blame the world. He spent all his money like a drunken sailor. No one but himself to blame for ending up like that. But dang he was funny.

[@johngough2958]

It's a reminder that behind the brilliant performances was a human being - tragically affected by Parkinson's.

[@patricebest545]

Sad! Similar Dick York-first Darren -Bewitched and Bud Abbott! Bless his TT wife and lovely Eartha KITT!!

[@racheldoesacrylic4089]

i am so sad his life ended up this way ,fantastic actor and those teeth , old age can be hell for many of us xxx

[@chrischris4788]

Belinda Cunningham,thank you,shine bright in the night sky with your best friend Terry Thomas

[@JJTownley_Classical-Composer]

This is about 31 years too late.

[@MarthaMansbridge]

A load of fellow stars pretending to care to 'raise money' - give the man some money FFS if you care that much!!

[@taketimeout2share]

They did, mate. Good old Bob Monkhouse and Michael Douglas really pulled out the stops for him. They didn't abandon him. He hid it for so long they didn't know until he lost his home. This is 30 years ago.

[@ric6383]

would be interesting to know how much of their huge wealth his fellow movie stars actually donated.

[@holistic7980]

Just goes to show u never k ow what will come.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

Muhammad Ali, Michael J. Fox, and Dean Jones also suffered from Parkinson's Disease.

[@richardnolan1013]

Life can be so cruel 💔 one day plenty of zip in you then before you know it you cant even get out if ned yourself 😢

[@user-xh3lb1ov3t]

Absolutely marvellous actor..im so glad he and others like him dont have to witness the insanity today it really is quite dreadful. Im lucky enough to live in a street where most of the other homeowners are in their 70s so they know about decency. But unfortunately as they grt older and have the needs for elderly homes etc yiunger people will move in and they are absolutely intolerable. I blame people in their 50s for this mess most couldn't bring up a child properly. They themselves were disciplined and vowed not to do the same to their children...and this is the result

[@baroquenspirit5395]

Mad, mad,mad mad world

[@davidbarr2155]

The treatment will kill him

[@AtlantaTerry]

It didn't.

[@hunterluxton5976]

What did he do with all the money he made?

[@alejandrovidal6441]

Most of it gone on medical treatments...

[@angelavara4097]

They should try cbd oils it's known to stop cancer so maybe it would help.

[@ShadowsOnTheScreen]

In 1989 maybe.

[@aem8160]

Yeah true, and maybe some beetroot soup, should do the trick.
