Russ Abbott - dead?

Not according to Wikipedia

Waaaaaaah - I bet Mr G £100 a few years ago that Russ Abbott was dead, and I lost. Maybe someone overheard us in the pub and started a rumour ?

Oh I hope not, he was fab (back in the day)

"Oh what an atmosphere...."

I hope not, I loved Russ Abbot when I was younger. The nights we spent watching him on tv and laughing til our sides hurt ?

WSS, I used to think he was a comedy genuis! I'm sure I saw him being interviewed on TV not too long ago, cos I was surprised to see he was blad.

Bella Emberg.

Also, DI Sam Nixon - Lisa Maxwell - used to be on the show back in the days when she was a stand up comic.

Was it the lady from the roly polys? don't know her name

I thought he died years ago ?

I always have to think about whether he's dead (not that I consider it THAT much lol!), I think I get him confused with Dustin G. Remember him? Les Dennis' sidekick.

I do exactly the same!

I can confirm that he was alive and well and shopping in Waitrose in Sunningdale yesterday (buying loo roll, milk and some sort of tomatoes in a pot, plus other random bits). He went to the customer enquiries till to pay and I wondered if they allowed him to do that because he is him??

Unless something tragic has happened to him overnight! ?

Thanks all. I have indeed confirmed that the person in question was winding us up.
