Mucker1884 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Blimey. That's a blast from the past! Arguably one of the most recognisable faces on TV back in the day. I watched very little tv, as I was always out playing football (jumpers for goalposts), but I'm pretty certain I sat and watched him all afternoon... every Saturday afternoon... week after week... for years! I spent more time in his presence than a fair few relatives (Aunts/uncles/cousins etc) if truth be told! RIP sir... and thanks for being there. xxx SKRam, Rev and IslandExile 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Loved watching his shows as a very young kid, and one of the few characters from that era who wasnt a wrong 'un. RIP Dickie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 94. Ripe old age. World of Sport was a bit mad with Kent Walton, Saint and Greavsie plus the ITV 7, but Dickie smiled throughout. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKRam Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 And I only learnt yesterday that all the folks in the background were actors, had zilch to do with typing or answering phones. Am I the only one who didn’t know this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
