Val Doonican.

As a child I knew all the lyrics of Delaney's Donkey and O'Rafferty's Motor Car.
Prime time TV star was Mr Doonican




'They pushed it, shoved it, oiled and embrocated it'

I think that's how one of those songs go, not sure if it's the car or the donkey though.  :-)
My granny used to sing them to us when we were little, but I've never realised they were 'real' songs that you could buy until just now.
I knew she didn't make them up of course but she had a whole repertoire of funny folk songs and poems that I only ever heard from her.
Thanks for the little blast from the past David.

If I had paid more attention to Val Doonican when I was growing up, I wouldn't have stood there open-mouthed when I entered a quiz in Ireland and was asked "Whose donkey won the half-mile race?"

Heard Denis on the radio a couple of months before he died.

Was still right on the ball mentally.

Nicholas Parsons is going strong on Just A Minute at 91. Pretty remarkable.

Hugh Scully died today.

And he was only 72!

I thought he was in his 70s when he presented Antiques Roadshow in the 80s and 90s!

An all time great. Basic fairness was close... but we didn't get there.

Now Geoffrey Howe has gone at 88 - someone with a long career that will be primarily remembered for his resignation speech.

Cliff Michelmore definitely fits this category. Thought he had shuffled off years ago.

'Jimmy Perry, creator of one of TV's most popular comedy series, Dad's Army, has died aged 93.

Working with producer David Croft, he was also responsible for It Ain't Half Hot Mum, Hi-de-Hi and You Rang M'Lord?'
