Well, if we're going to bring up obscure actresses who appeared only 3 or 4 times in the Likely Lads, then I would like to give a mention to Elizabeth Lax, who was Bob's very sweet and sexy secretary and also made one appearance the Billy Liar TV series as the girl in the sweet shop, and who sadly died far too young at 46 in 1996.
And these are the screen prints I just happened to make of her when Billy went off into one of his daydreams............

I took up my guitar and played some Moody Blues songs in his honour.

We Refugees
I come from a musical place
Where they shoot me for my song
And my brother has been tortured
By my brother in my land.
Â
I come from a beautiful place
Where they hate my shade of skin
They don't like the way I pray
And they ban free poetry.
Â
I come from a beautiful place
Where girls cannot go to school
There you are told what to believe
And even young boys must grow beards.
Â
I come from a great old forest
I think it is now a field
And the people I once knew
Are not there now.
Â
We can all be refugees
Nobody is safe,
All it takes is a mad leader
Or no rain to bring forth food,
We can all be refugees
We can all be told to go,
We can be hated by someone
For being someone.
Â
I come from a beautiful place
Where the valley floods each year
And each year the hurricane tells us
That we must keep moving on.
Â
I come from an ancient place
All my family were born there
And I would like to go there
But I really want to live.
Â
I come from a sunny, sandy place
Where tourists go to darken skin
And dealers like to sell guns there
I just can't tell you what's the price.
Â
I am told I have no country now
I am told I am a lie
I am told that modern history books
May forget my name.
Â
We can all be refugees
Sometimes it only takes a day,
Sometimes it only takes a handshake
Or a paper that is signed.
We all came from refugees
Nobody simply just appeared,
Nobody's here without a struggle,
And why should we live in fear
Of the weather or the troubles?
We all came here from somewhere.
Oh dear.............Yes, Rest In Peace. He came to the school I worked at some time ago - too young to die.
Loved his voice - so distinctive.
RIP
Very sad. RIP.
Wow.
if you have a dry eye at the end of this, then there's no hope for you.
Wow indeed..
🥺
RIP Andre Braugher. Fantastic in comedies like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but also great in dramatic stuff like Homicide Life on the Street.

I loved Captain Raymond Holt and his husband Kevin a truly funny guy,
