I read with much sadness this morning that Lenny 'Joe' McLeish passed away last night, at 10.56pm.


Lenny found early fame with the BBC during the 1950s in hit shows Don't Tell Mother and Pass The Brush, but it was his work on Bird Watch? for Anglia which made him a household name. . A late move to Hollywood saw him earn the admiration of a whole new generation through a series of road safety commercials and as a body double in Predator II.


Never one to complain and always a fighter, Lenny finally 'passed his last brush' after a long battle with thrush outside the Golden Lion in Dudley last night, surrounded by family and friends.


God Bless.

What its not sad news that I've just heard of Lenny McLean's death, Mick?


You don't want his Family to know that that is your attitude or you might get a visit from Lenny's many bruvvers, if you get my meaning, My Son.::o

You're right M8. "Bob" has taken this particular loss very badly...:(

I don't really think there is any need for that kind of friviolity Young Lady.


Losing Lenny McLeish and being aware of Lenny McLean's death on the same day is not to be mocked....:(

Tone,

You'd better sit down - I've got lots of bad news.


Since Lenny McLean died - nearly ten years ago - lots of other people have too. A busy day ahead for you - and google.


Anyway - this thread is about Lenny McLeish. Please show some respect.



Ps - you did hear about Diana, didn't you?

So no LBD then? With dark glasses and heels?

Surely The Pub was "The Golden Eagle2 not "The Golden Lion"??

I was saying elsewhere Mick that, only last night, we got 9 out of the current "Top 10" threads in The Lounge.


Someone spoilt it by writing something totally inconsequential about some irrelevant Subject otherwise we would have been the first to have had a clean sweep since The Beatles back in '66...

I think that's another way of saying TLS, that if we keep boring everyone else they might give us the Lounge to ourselves and then they'll probably set up a seperate section for serious minded people - hey wait a minute.

    • With slightly less respect  I have  watched the 1 hour video - he said what he said and he did what he did. And his faux-wink wink “no violence people” fools no one but fools. Are you a fool?    the bbc told the truth - and it’s a straight up lie to say otherwise. Did they edit and cut to the chase to make a point? Absolutely  and correctly  he was not edited to say things he didn’t say  I cannot believe you watched the entire video and are trying to say the bbc edit somehow misrepresented what he said and Back in the real world - did the nutters who showed up at the white house materialise because of a bbc edit ffs - have some self respect and recognise what’s going on 
    • Friends and family in the 'States always say how wonderful it is to be in Britain and see our news coverage.  It's all partisan out there. The BBC manages to simultaneously p off the left and the right so must be doing something right.
    • From the BBC: "The conclusion of that deliberation is that we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologise for that error of judgement." What is wrong is editing someone to make him say something they didn't.  With respect Sephiroth, this is something I know a bit about and I have encountered, over the last decade, people in programming editing contributors to make them say things they didn't, the end point being to hang them out to dry. It's happening more and more and it's my job to make sure that people on TV are not mis-represented, but shown in their true light so that viewers can make up their own minds. You have no idea what goes on behind the scenes and how hard some us fight to keep things impartial.  It's also worth mentioning that I have personally lost work because of Trump suing US networks, and that's one of the lesser reasons why I'd like to see him gone.  But broadcasters have a moral obligation to tell the truth and that's the hill that most decent professionals in the industry are willing to die on. Otherwise, how can the viewing public trust anything that's beamed into their living rooms? 
    • Amazing work from Leon, doing out electrical survey and replacing our consumer board. Great communications, tidy work, reliable friendly and reasonably priced. A pleasure to have around and highly recommended.
