No funny title, because Bernard Cribbins was funnier than any pun..... a sad loss. If anyone deserved a knighthood for service, it was him. RIP

A sad loss. He was present throughout most of our childhoods.

Wonderful actor and we were saying yesterday when we heard he should have had a knighthood. But maybe he should have gone into the civil service and worked his way up and instead of a clock for X years of service he would have got a knighthood. Just do your job for long enough and you get a gong. Grrrrrr

I often think of Kev, as the month's roll around and there is no competition, as special events pass unmarked..... as comments are made that deserve his touch. His passing has coincided with the site becoming a shadow of its former self and it seems to have become the equivalent of a digital Eastbourne....... in God's waiting room for all once-loved communities.
I had thought of "Now underground" as a reference to BC's wombling days.... but as I said, he was better than a pun. RIP to both.
