    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    RIP Windsor Davies.

    In my opinion, one of the most entertaining actors of all time. His irreverent sense of humor often made my day.

    Hello All,

    One of the TV shows that I grew up with. It was compulsory viewing. I did a bit of research and found something really interesting about one of Windsor Davies' co stars, Don Estelle (Lofty). Don was a talented Tenor. Here is Windsor Davies and Don Estelle singing "Whispering Grass". While the clip looks like a mime, that was his real voice. The size of the person and the size of the voice simply do not seem to match. I suppose talent comes in different packages!

    When I lived in Milton Keynes many years ago, Don Estelle purchased a house a couple of houses away from us. Neighbours said they'd heard him singing while out in his garden but I never got to hear him. I just remember him being rather short !!
