Today's interesting factoid...

[Stu M]

Apologies if this has been widely reported, but did you all know that Will Brooks is son of the voice of Mr Benn, the bloke from Eighties show Big Deal and apparently EastEnders actor Ray Brooks?

 

Feel free to whoosh me if this is a case of 'wheel invented'...

I've seen him down the ground! I thought he was a brilliant lookalike!

[Hannah]

[chris blanc]

Was he Pauline Fowlers husband?

[Hannah]

Yeh he was Fowler's husband and then died by being pushed through a window or something!

 

[chris blanc]

I am reliably informed that he done her in, yes.

 

He was also the voice of King Rollo

Given the Rollo and Mr Benn revelations, Chris, aren't you more at ease with the whole MyFC concept? A man sprung from the loins of the Mysterious Shopkeeper can't be all bad...

[KShep]

Is that Danny Dyer's grandad in Football Factory?

[low_key]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but was he not also 'Pike' in Dad's Army or was that another of Pauline's 'conquests'?

[American FLEET FAN No1]

"Pike" was played by Ian Lavender!

[Hannah]

I think the one in Dad's army was her gay friend who lived with her for a while.

Derek was it?

If they get someone from Jamie and the Magic Torch or Chorlton and the Wheelies, I'm on board

[American FLEET FAN No1]

Don't let him in your booth, he'll come out dressed as an astronaut or a pirate or something.

Ray Brooks

He was also in Z Cars and is one of the very few actors to be in both Eastenders and Coronation Street.
