I forget how tragically young Gary Olsen was when he died - 42. I feel bad as I couldn't watch 2 Point 4 Children at the time as I really couldn't bear that Barbara Lott having been traumatised as a child by her performance in Sorry!!

Oh that's shame, she was really good in it! The whole series was excellent, I miss it.

Paul Nicholas as in Just Good Friends fame? Don't think Vince and Penny would have been as popular with that storyline somehow?!

Aye that Paul! He had a very diverse career! David Bowie and Pete Townshend penned his early singles in the 60s, when he went by the psueodnym Oscar.

My mum used to love him in Just Good Friends. As all mums did in the 80s of course!
