Only 65? He always seemed so old - and I'm older than that now!

How d'ya think I feel........😥

Currently being re-shown on That's TV (Freeview channel 7; Sky channel 171) @ 19:10 each weekday evening.

More words blanked out than left in in tonight's episode.

Does anyone know how tall Albert was? Google tells me Brambell was 5'2" but he seems a bit taller than that. I know Harold always took the piss out of him for his short stature. I am 5'4" but I can hardly see Albert standing shorter than I. Maybe it's just from a lifetime of people towering over me!

Consensus of opinion seems to be 1.57 metres. Whatever that is.

six foot twelve I think.

That's apparently 5'2 yes. Been watching it lately and he is a lot shorter than Harold. And Harold picked him up the other day and stuffed him head first in a dustbin or container of some sort. 😁 Albert was a hilarious character, couldn't have had better casting for both. 👏

But according to Paul McCartney he was a very clean old man.

Definitely dirty. I'm in no doubt on that.

Harold would back me up.
