Geoffrey Hughes dies aged 68 Page 2

Yes one of his best ever roles too because it showed his talent, I love the Yellow Submarine. The Beatles were very anti it at the time, thinking it was exploiting their name and success, and yet Hughes especially was the sort of local working class bloke they liked best in real life. So I'm sure Macca mellowed his view on that one, and the film did The Beatles no harm at all.

Oh, that's very sad. RIP.

I was Geoff's 'minder' during his stint in the Sunderland panto 'Jack and the Beanstalk' in the early 80s, he was one fantastically funny and generous bloke...

Was he there during Corrie? Is a minder different from a dresser?
