With The Joint Deaths of Iain Cuthbertson and Keith Waterhouse This Week...

[Tony.London Suburbs]

...thats pretty much the final curtain drawn of all the major figures behind the popular "Budgie" Series.

Budgie starred former popstar Adam Faith with Iain Cuthbertson as "Charlie Endell"and was produced by ITV company London Weekend Television and broadcast on the ITV network between 1971 and 1972.

The series was created by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall . The show was produced by Verity Lambert.

First Adam Faith and Willis Hall went, then Verity then, this week, both Keith and Iain in a cruel double blow to the Entertainment Industry.

"You DISGUST me Budgie Boy!!"..Charlie Endell,Glaswegian gangster....

Obviously there are many "Budgie" fans out there.

"You vile, evil creature Budgie, you disgust me!...get out of my sight.!"

Tony.. you're like the grim reaper.

Whenever somebody kicks the bucket you're in there with the obituary, like a rat up a drainpipe. So to speak.

I prefer to think of Tony as the town cryer. I think he does as well.

How utterly charming.

The "much-missed" "bob" returneth...with an insult. So to speak.

I think I speak for everyone in saying that we wouldn't want it any other way.

No, you are right bbw.

"bob" is one of the gang.

Let his insults flow like The River Tiber..or Ted's enchanting poetry....

More like my old nan, with her "guess who's died..."

[????]

Rolf Harris?

[RosieH]

He's not dead. He's just locked in my wardrobe.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

I thought I had some skeletons in my wardrobe but when I just looked there was no body there....

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Still think Budgie was one of the finest Series of its time.

And Laughing Spam Fritter one of the great henchmen.

Endell, indicating Budgie "Laughing Spam...hurt him"
