TV Scandals
Chris Freeman
thinking about TV folks who were involved in various scandals.
Here are a couple more.
Peter Wyngard: Once voted the man "...most girls would like to lose
their virginity to...". Also played womanisers such as Jason King.
How odd then, that he should have been caught in a gents engaging in
Geroge Michael style naughties.
Wilfred Bramble: Seems like it was not just the character of Albert
Steptoe ho was such a "dirty old man". More action in the gents. At
his hearing, his defence claimed that he was merely "a very friendly
man". Seems like it.
Leonard Sachs (sp?): Master of ceremonies at the 'Good Old Days'.
Another fellow caught in a public toilet.
Jess Yates: This is the biggie, folks! Remember him sat at the organ
(ooerr missus) on that awful God-slot programme Stars On Sunday? He
came all over as sweetness an light, and about as genuine as a nine
bob note. Caught with his trousers down playing naughty games with a
female researcher, I believe.
Anyone remember these? Got any others?
Chris.

continuity announcer in the 1970s called Bryce Curdy. One day he
disappeared without trace or explanation from our TV screens. Scottish
urban legend says that the reason for this was that he was admitted into
the casualty department of Glasgow Infirmary one night, needing emergency
rectal surgery to remove a large dildo/vibrator from up his arse. Anyone
remember the story and know if there's any truth in it?

Why not? Unless you're imagining that Leonard was caught in the toilet
with his son, Andrew, who played Manuel.

Y'know, in the 70's that semen story was attributed to
Elton John......
Must be true, then .......

I was always led to believe that this happened in Lincoln (he went to
one of the comprehensives there) and he was with a bunch of medical
students at the time..

Victor Lewis-Smith is fond of spreading this one (as it were). I think
it may have a grain of truth to it.

Yes. And Hughie Green was nobbing his wife.

Same as the rumours about Fred Dinenage and the hamster, then?
The rapid departure of "comedian" Roy Jay (convict outfit, white gloves,
catchphrases "Spook!" and "Slither!") from our televisions owed at least
as much to his lavatorial activities as it did to his utter talentlessness,
if I recall correctly.

I remember the news reports in the press at the
time.....so its probably all malicious rumour :-)

The version I've heard most often says it was 8 pints that had to be
pumped out. Marc was asked about this in a Melody Maker interview and
he thought it was hysterical: "What did I do, suck off an elephant or
something?"
