Winters is hardly dressed appropriately, is he? Although saying that, the brandy contained in his faithful hound's barrel should warm him up a treat.

A great many years ago, when Bernie was at his professional peak, my friend's mum saw him in a restaurant and was amazed at how good-looking he was in 'real life'.

She might have been drunk, of course.

M&W they weren't - him and his brother.

Didn't know they were about when the Winters brothers were at their "peak".

They've aged well.

I watched that particular clip too last night. Isn't Emu working with Toby Hull, Rod's son these days?

Mind you, in an alternative universe I'd love to see Mike and Bernie Winters appearing in their own surreal post death version of 'Peep Show'.

The original...............taken on after he split from his brother Mike. :S

Did anyone see the Hollywood biopic of Bernie Winters and Schnorbitz?

It was called Turner & Hooch. Bernie was played by Tom Hanks.

It was called Top Dog. Bernie was played by Chuck Norris.

(I couldn't decide which film to use)

I've just twigged - Bernie/St Bernard.

Bernie Winters had the most valuable gift a comedian can have: he was likeable.

That's not to say everyone on Earth liked him, but millions did and that gives an otherwise-not-overly-talented comedian a massive advantage when it comes to getting ahead in the business.

How else do you think Miranda Hart could fill the O2?
