mick2me 3,033 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Do you know who he is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 The unique Cyril Fletcher.... Had the indignity of ending his wonderful career by being a regular on the diabolical Esther Rantzen TV show. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 You are of course right Rob. But I question Esther Rantzen show as his final curtain. He had a successful double act for some years after that. 14 years to be exact. With who? Note: I had great difficulty in finding any information on the net about his partner in this later double act? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 IIRC, it was his wife Betty Astell...... He also did various gardening programmes with ITV, Birmingham. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caz 25 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I remember the gardening programme he did from Birmingham, I used to watch it regularly. What was the name of his partner on that programme was it Bob Price or something similar to that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Well Done Caz B) It was indeed Bob. ATV's Garden Program, with Bob & Cyril. What was it called? Sadly I can find nothing on the net about Bob (deceased) And this is the only picture I could find... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Nice find Rob. What it fails to mention is that the original series was filmed in Canon Hill Park Birmingham. I lived nearby in the early 60's. before moving to Kings Heath. But I note from the article that... " In 1996, Gardeners World moved to Kings Heath Park. Over the last few years they have developed many new gardens with top designers like John Brookes, Robin Williams, Dan Pearson and Bonita Bolitis, producing a variety of different designs.
