enfieldspares Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) At least, thank goodness, not as much the "professional Yorkshireman" as was Fred Truman! Never did like his later career move with those awful Sun Life Insurance advertisements now screened with some moronic male actor and his fictional friend Jane. My old mother liked Parkinson but hated those advertisements that are "selling death" she called it.

I'm with you here, sadly, few seem to be able to resist the end money grab that blights previous achievement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
