Veteran entertainer Roy Hudd has died aged 83

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-51906543

One of the old school who kept the tradition of music hall entertainment going. As a kid, many a journey to the Goldstone on a Saturday was made while listening to the News Huddlines.

Which let to the dubious taste example of a frothing ladies downstairs area being 'as wet as Rod Hulls roof '

A very talented comedian, writer, and mimic. He did a great impersonation of Flanagan in Flanagan and Allen. He was also an expert on music hall.

RIP A great actor and entertainer.

He used to drink in my old local pub. The night in question he left the pub pissed, got home his son complained about the TV, he decided to get up on the roof, the rest is history.

If you ever visit the Queens Head Icklesham his cane and hat hangs above the bar. There's also a cabinet with a lot of awards he received

Sad news. RIP
Spent the last ten years vowing to write to Roy, after I discovered that we shared family connections. Alas, never got round to it and now too late. ( Don't put off to tomorrow that which can be done today )

And a very good straight actor later in his career too.

Does Emu still go in there occasionally, or has he moved away?

That 'joke' is as old as . . . Ken Dodd my friend.

A terrific entertainer and a great authority on Music Hall (surely the first example of pop culture as we know it and therefore worthy of study).

If I lived near the Queen's Head at Icklesham I wouldn't move away. Damn fine pub for both beer and food.

...and sorry to learn about Roy Hudd as well.
