bendigo69 3 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Peter Bowles (To The Manor Born... and lots of other sit coms etc) used to get on the 43 bus outside Henry Mellish school every morning on his way to High Pavement school at Stanley Road, Forest Fields. He was 16 and I was 12 at the time and went to the same school as him. We were both taught by the same English teacher, Stanley Middleton, who won the booker prize after writing scores of novels. He went to Pavement as a boy and returned to teach there and always lived in Nottingham. Firstly on Highbury Vale (Broomhill Road) then Sherwood between Hucknall Road and Mansfield Road below the prison. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TGC 216 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Richard Beckinsdale. Born in Carlton a month before me. Died so tragically from a heart attack when he was 31 years old. He went to Alderman White Secondary Modern School. I think his best roles were in Porridge, as Lennie Godber, and Rising Damo as student Alan Guy Moore. A sad loss.

NickA 13 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 RIP Richard Beckinsale - so sad. I still remember hearing about it at the time, having been a mega Porridge fan from its first broadcasts I had no idea about Barry Foster. Remember the Van der Valk theme tune - genius! Eddie Balls took the school bus with my sister! And I gave the little bugger lines at school! (They aren't half keeping him quiet in this election campaign aren't they - I imagine him in a broom cupboard at the Millibands' with a gag on ) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
