| Everybody,I LOVE RISING DAMP-Period. But Mr Rossiter ,He had His moments Y'know he was auditioned for the part of Sgt Major in IAHHM,He gave Croft & Perry such an hard time ,telling those comedy genius's,-what to do -what not to do, with the character's-that they took a chance and cast Windsor Davis. The rest is HISTORY. Still,Maybe ,their loss ???  | |

| Yeah,it is usually the way ,with the comedy greats,tears of a clown- and all that. I can think of a fair few of them ,with a underlying neurosis,but then again,I guess its what makes the comedy work. And it makes for juicey reading in the auto/biographies  | |

| Tony Hancock is a hero of mine, i loved his work from a really young age, must of been about 8 when i first listened to Hancocks Half Hour, and it wasnt 'til i was about 13 my dad told me how much of a, dare i say it, bars-tired in his personal life, and when i watched Hancock & Joan, although it was sad when he died, it must of been a relief to many, i seriously couldnt of seen him changing his ways like he said he would. I know its a bit off topic but it just reminded me of that, its funny how the best men/women on stage can be absolute twazzocks off stage | |
