    Ooooops, no, that was TONY Clarke. But I was a fan of Keeping Up Appearances.

    I cannot stop laughing, at the thought of Roy being within 10 miles of popular music.
    Before he started writing, he was the village Bobby in the village where he set Last of the summer wine. It gave him a lot of his inspiration.

    One of his best moments in the series, was when two officers drove past one of the bizarre goings on.
    Policeman 1...... Did you see that.?
    Policeman 2...... No.!!
    Policeman 1...... Me neither. :)

    Christina would have loved to have met him.

    I believe you are mixing him up with an American music producer. His Clark was spelt without the 'e'.

    From a character point of view, Kathy Staff could not have been less like Nora Batty. She mainly played live theatre in classical productions.
    It was seeing her becoming typecast, that resulted in Patricia Routledge walking out on Keeping up Appearances. Despite being written, the final series had to be cancelled. Some people really are irreplaceable

    I like the style but I wouldn't want it in the water.
    That would be fun for a novelty motel.

    I thought Roy Clark was the host of Hee-Haw. You know that TV show geared to the intellectual literati of America. No wonder Trump even exists.

    Now here's a real Ugly House at least for the next 4 years..

    Since he mainly works from home, this picture may be inside the house.

    People are often very surprised when they see who writes the films they love. Roy is 94 this year.

    The only person who I have ever worked with who is exactly how you would picture them is Mel Brooks.
    Whenever I told him what we were doing, his reply (to everyone in the studio) was "Give that boy a lollipop".
    If I had been on a horse, it may have been a different matter. "Hang that cowboy on a horse"......Probably his most iconic line.

    To put it in his own words. I was the sound engineer who opened Silent Movie for him in London.
    PS, I also opened the picture, but he kept quiet about that one.
    The biggest laugh on the opening night was the scene with Marcel Marceau.

    It was certainly a night to remember.
    The film opened with an extremely fat lady.
    SUBTITLE, "That poor woman looks extremely pregnant, shall we offer her a lift". Needless to say the cars suspension collapsed.

    The films storyline was about them making a silent movie and selecting the cast.
    The audience laughed, but the laughter soon died down when it dawned on them that they were going to be sitting for two hours reading subtitles.
    Their audition with Marcel Marceau was the only word spoken. They offered him a part and he replied "NO".
