Another thread, or two, has been on about holes in a wall.

Well it has reminded me of one of my favourite songs during early childhood by the great Bernard Cribbins:

They do not make them like that anymore

I remember BC as the station master in The Railway Children. Didn't sing though....

Bernard still appears on telly (CBBC) telling a story for the very little kids  ..... he's only 90 yr old

He was also on a Celebrity Pointless Special a few weeks back - but that could have been a repeat!!

I bumped into him while going into the bar at the Albert hall in 1991. Almost knocked his pint out of his hand, but he apologised to me.

I adore 'the Crib', as he is affectionately known in our house, whether it's as above Railway Children, Wombles (he voiced/narrated), Fawlty Towers, Doctor Who (1960s film and modern series) and christ knows how many other appearances elsewhere, he's just a legend, and always appears sweet as anything.

He once appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks...youre a little fearful that a gentle soul like that would get ripped to shreds by all these raucous young 'uns, as has happened on the show... it was mentioned that someone had paid a record sum for a pair of Kylie Minogue's knickers, there was a pause... and cuddly, sweet innocent Cribbins pipes up saying "Do you wanna see 'em?" and absolutely brought the house down with tears of laughter.

Legend!

I wouldn't be minded to pay for Kylie's knickers. Too scrawny for my liking.

He has always come across as a real gent, unlike some others in that profession, and your experience Migv6 backs that up
