Title: Autographs.
Post by: Roger Kettle on May 28, 2008, 08:03:29 PM
I was writing some scripts today about Dennis and his autograph book. (Obviously, it turns out to be nonsensical). Anyway, do you lot out there have any prized autographs?

No one could be famous enough for me to bother about their signature. Mind you, if others were willing to pay money for it . . .

I had all of the autographs of the presenters of BBC Breakfast Time when that started in 1657. And Mavis out of Coronation Street.
I can't remember where they are now. The autographs - not the TV stars.

So, Tom, you don't have any proof?

Tom, I really like that bit of artwork you've chosen as your signature. I've said this before but, because Andrew doesn't often visit this site, I tend to come over as a one man show. This is obviously far from the truth. He's a brilliant cartoonist and I would have been nowhere without him. I think the example you've used demonstrates how good he is----it's just a really, REALLY nice bit of drawing.

I've just remembered I used to have Sue Robbie and Bob Carolgees autographs when they used to present a children's TV show called Hold Tight, from Alton Towers. I think that was broadcast just before the Battle of Hastings.
Don't know where they are either.

I agree Roger, it is good! This one is from one of the Horace books... there are quite a few others that I would like to use in the future! Hats off to you both - you're a good team!

I did have Kyle Minogues autograph, when Radio 1 was doing a live event when i was based at Hms Drake, in Plymouth. The only thing is, I had to get it on my sock as I forgot to take any pieces of paper with me. Don't think she was too impressed at the time tho :-\ :-\

With a nod also to another post, I have Kenneth McKellar's autograph...my Dad got it for me when they were both in a queue in a London bank so he signed the bank of a deposit slip for me. In my young days I wrote to all and sundry in the entertainment world asking for autographs...what am I bid for Liberace's flamboyant squiggle?

I've got an original signature by Roger Kettle.
In Canada you only have to be 75 to get a signed letter of congratulations on your birthday from the PM. If there is a Liberal in government when I turn 75 I will apply for one of those.

I did have a hand written signed letter from Frankie Howerd in reply to one I wrote to him when I was about 10, but like Tom, I have no idea where it is now. Could be somewhere in a box here, or could be long gone (without my knowledge) in the rubbish in Scotland. I thought he was hilarious, and I seem to remember there was something about eating liquorice allsorts.
The only other signatures I have (apart from the Disney ones too, Madjock) are from a charity tennis tournament here in Sydney, so probably only Malc would recognise them. The two others may know are Tony Roche (60/70's tennis player and was Lleyton Hewitt's coach) and Kieren Perkins (swimmer). The others are Alicia Molik (tennis player), Anne Fulwood (TV News reader) and Sam Newman (ex AFL player and TV presenter). I missed out on Jamie Durie, Malc - didn't think it was worth braving all the scratching and eye gouging to get to the front of the crowd. ;)

Yes, I have the same problem when I'm signing autographs. Women, eh? ::)
Jamie Durie (as you know) was once a male stripper, but as you may not know, is only four and a half feet tall.
On Backyard Blitz, the gardening makeover programme he does, he only employs small co-presenters, the exception being Scott Camm, who looks like a giant but is in fact only 5' 7".
I could bash him up easy.

The Virginian was a diminutive stripper? I'm crushed! :o

I do believe the tiny Australian pocket rocket Jamie was required to dress as a cowboy, for brief periods.
Here he is in period briefs. (http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2007/10/04/manpower_lead_wideweb__470x309,0.jpg)

No, I didn't know he was somewhat vertically challenged. He was sitting at a table when I saw him - Imdb lists his height as 5ft 7?" - obviously the ?" is important.

I think you can safely knock an inch and a quarter off that in the interests of the truth. I'd say five six at a stretch. Not that height matters, but it obviously does to wee Jamie.
