mgread1200 141 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Might have been Lynmee now come to say, the version I was was thinking of may never have been released, went something like " then the lightening flashed and his buntline crashed and the two little birdies flew away" Paladium 1960 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Val 11 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I can remember the cowboy who used to come in the Cocked Hat, not sure if its the same one but he used to get on stage in the back room and sing. You seem about the same age as me, how often did you frequent the Cocked Hat, did you live on the estate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgread1200 141 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Checked Google and no, it's not the actor I mean; obviously the western series wasn't called 'Lawman'. Only one I can find is "The gunslinger" Tony Young played a character named Cord very popular with the ladies but I can't remember it ever being screened in the UK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Can anyone remember the guy who used to knock around town. was the spitting image of Clint Eastwood? Anyone know who he was? Rowdy Yates???????????????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 That's the one mgread 1200: Tony Young, starred in 'Gunslinger' - tall, dark and handsome and he had my heart when I was all of fourteen! Thanks for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Anyone remember Davy Crocket hats? I believe a Davy Crocket film was all the rage. The hats were formed of a tan brown suede top, trimmed with a thick band of fur and with a long piece of the same fur dangling down the back. And the Davy Crocket song: 'Davy, Davy Crocket, king of the wild frontier. Born on a mountain top in Tennessee . . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,593 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 The guy dressed as a cowboy in the Cocked Hat is/was called Des, don't know his surname though, I remember one night some skinheads came in and roughed the poor guy up a bit and stole his beloved six shooters Rog.

Paulus 541 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 didn't Des alternate between cowboy & injun chief? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Brett Maverick (James Garner), Bart Maverick (Jack Kelly), Beau Maverick (Roger Moore) and Brent Maverick (Robert Colbert). Check the website http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050037/trivia for some interesting facts about the series, law suits and anecdotes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OLDACE 196 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Trivia time, we all know that a maverick is an unbranded cow or bull in Texas. They were named after the cattle of the Maverick family whose cattle were allowed to roam free (as were many others) during the War between the States while the menfolk fought for Southern Independence. One of the human Mavericks was a famous soldier in the 8th Texas Cavalry. He carried out many acts of daring, and should have been killed many times over. As it was he lived to a ripe old age, albeit under the rule of Washington. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I remember Bruce Forsyth 'Sunday night at the London Palladium' came out with a long 'ditty',which had all the TV westerns in it,I can only remember a small part. No doubt you guys will come up with the complete 'ditty'. Bronco Laine had a pain So they sent for Wagon train,the rest is 'Lost in Space'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
