Gutted. A national treasure.

Oh, no sorry, I was thinking of someone else.

 

[Nearly there]

Calm down dear

I didn't really like his films but there was no doubting that he was a personality who brightened up lives.

I disagree. His telly adverts were a blight.

 

[User169]

He didn't reckon much of Littlejohn..

 

[Beebo]

He did a lot of charity work for the policeman killed in the line of duty.

I'll miss him, he didnt take himself too seriously, and didnt care what others thought of him.

 

[Over The Hill]

I didn't really like his films but there was no doubting that he was a personality who brightened up lives.

Have you got the right bloke?

 

[screenman]

He sure has, he was able to send himself up without some people realising it and missing the point completely.

 

[slowwww]

He was pompous, preposterous, self-indulgent, crass. All of which made Winners Dinners compulsive reading in our household as surreal light relief from the gloom and doom in the rest of the paper!

 

[TheDoctor]

Anyone who calls Littlejohn an peanut and make it stick is a good bloke in my book!
I didn't know he'd done that, but it's improved my opinion of him.

He didn't reckon much of Littlejohn..

I'd forgotten about that. It's not quite as good as the Will Self/Tolstoy one, but it's pretty good value.

 

[Fab Foodie]

I seem to recall he had a good spat with Shabba Ranks on 'The Word' too ....

 

[glenn forger]

The one with Oliver Reed and the elephant is pretty good.
