RIP Richard O'Sullivan

[captain nemo1701]

Gosh, he had been in a care home since he was 59!

I know....I'm 62 and cycle 10 miles/day

He was in a care home for actors.

Wasn't Mike Yarwood the 1970's BBC Saturday night tv impersonator in there as well? I remember seeing a photo of both of them outside the home, taken a few years ago.🤔

I spent an afternoon on the golf course with Richard back around 1977/8 playing in a Bernard Cribbins charity day. Tessa Wyatt (his new partner) joined us. This was just after her split with Tony Blackburn. I have nice memories of Richard as he was very friendly, good company and easy to get on with.
RIP Richard.

You seen the film Taps? That'd be what id be doing of any f*****tried that on me.

At £70k per annum no one puts people in a home for the fun of it.
My MIL lost her entire savings on care home costs.

I dont care if theh try it for fun, entertainment or boredom - if they try it on me there'll be some excitement.

And rhe best bit is if im already deemed imfirm enough to need a home then prison wont be a realistic option when I resist most insistently. They cant have it both ways legally.

I seem to remember he lived in a home for retired actors.

This thread is beginning to remind me of my mother in her later years.

This photo popped up a few years age and thought it was sad then....

Pardon. What.
Do you mean Ronnie O’Sullivan, doesn’t he play snooker.
Anyway I prefer Jimmy White.

Was that the one where he had a swordfight with Bayleaf out of London's Burning? Excellent stuff!

Bloody hell! Im knocking on the door of 59 myself and id be taking hostages if anyone tried to put me in a home!

Imagine how I feel. I can see 82 coming down the track, at speed ...

According to IMDB Bayleaf was played by James Hazeldine and he wasn't part of the cast of "Dick Turpin".
But there was a lot of sword fighting in the series.
