I'd be Cosmic, and my subjects would be UFOs and other strange stuff but I'd also be down to earth and wear an old battered cap my Grandad wore.

I'd be Compost, Compo's old friend from back in the day..

I'd be Captain Jones, Foggy's old CO from his army days causing Foggy a bit of discomfort as to whether I'd expose some of his tall stories to be untrue. I'd of course not as that wouldn't be very nice but it'd be funny to watch Foggys reaction....

Larry Lazenby. A small time crook but also a ladies man. A expert at crosswords and a mean cook to give Ivy a run for her money.

As a huge fan I would like to see Count Arthur Strong in the show he could regale all of his theatrical career , the forgetfulness, questionable truths and malapropisms would be priceless .

I am indeed Barry . I wrote to the Count , via Komedia , just before Christmas, to enquire if Radio Auntie was to broadcast a Christmas Special , I received a reply to say sadly Auntie had decided not to commission one to mark the end of 2022
yet they can waste a fortune on some of the drivel they push out on their TV channels. It just beggars belief the cost would have been a fraction of the cost of some of the complete wastes of space they put out .It is labelled part one of his farewell tour thus leaving the door open for future events . His radio show is always a go to bought the discs long ago and uploaded them to my players so I can listen on tap which I frequently do .
That's really interesting, so Steve Delaney actually took the time to reply to you in person? Although I do find him a little repetitive he's still one of my favorite comedians. Second only to John Shuttleworth, the scene the two of them had together in the TV series was gold dust!I am indeed Barry .

I don't think it was him the reply came from Komedia Entertainment signed as Count so probably just someone in the company but nice to get a reply despite it being a huge disappointment .
Sad news indeed but I’m not sus-prised !

The Count and Hilda Baker would have been a great double act .

Hilda Baker holy moly that's got my synapses kicking in.
Oliver (Ron Moody et al) was/is my most favourite film and as far as I can remember (no google cheating) Hilda was Harry Secombes characters wife.
