@@irenemorley75 We had the IRA bombing people, strikes everywhere, only three TV channels, hardly anyone had a phone. The 70s was actually quite a depressing decade. It was not a better time. We just look back and romance at how things were better in the past - and they weren't.
@robertharriman7267 Жыл бұрын
Simpler but certainly not more civilised. Racism and sexism were the norm, priests and celebrities raped children with very few repercussions and parents blew fag smoke into their kids faces. The mid 70s were a great time for drug taking too. As someone has already alluded to the British army were killing Irish people and were paid back in kind. I guess some people remain naive.

Back in 74 I was working at LBC and living in St Peter's Square Chiswick. Richard often enjoyed a drink at the Carpenter's Arms, as did I, so I got to know him on a personal level. In the early 80s, we met again in Brisbane when Richard starred in a play. Never forgotten my casual friendship with a thoroughly pleasant fellow :-)) Ken Guy

What a sweet man, I love how he hugs everyone, he seems genuinely warm and lovely. He went on to even greater TV success after this with 'Robin's Nest', 'Me and My Girl' and 'Dick Turpin' among his starring roles, he was really the David Jason of his day. But he disappeared very suddenly - I'm not sure if he just fell out of fashion with age or if it was due to ill health. This was obviously before his marriage to his 'Robins Nest' co star Tessa Wyatt, ex wife of Tony Blackburn. I thought Richard's parents came across as lovely people, they are the reason he became such a great guy. A surprisingly good episode, thanks for the upload. XXX

I was too young to watch his shows, and vaguely remember bits of George and Mildred. Later, with the army, we lived in Germany and there was only limited programming on a single (English speaking) channel, BFBS. But, Richard was one of those faces later that were always on TV - household names. It's only when you see things like this that you realise how many favourites have passed away. At least we are lucky that we can see or re-see them in their prime at the press of a button. There is something about the relative simplicity of a 1970's house/street etc that holds my attention.
