Grotbags

Anyone remember her? Making a comeback on Channel 4 next month.

 

[Mackenzie]

Yes.

Pink windmill.

There's somebody at the door!

That really camp crocodile/dragon thing lived with her.

Matt Morgan did a really good impression of him.

"Ooh Mrs Grotbags"

I wondered what David Gower was doing these days

 

[Grombleton]

Thought this was gonna be one of the 'X team's most famous supporter' threads for a second.

With the green hair/make up, black spot and hat on I doubt she has aged a day!

Thought it was another thread about Mother Diane of Hackney

The "with make-up" version looks disturbingly like Miriam Margolyes

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Yes.

Pink windmill.

This was a Rod Hull & Emu thing wasn't it?

Guessing Emu won't be making an appearance in the new version

I think she's great, you should see her on this program, classic

Seem to recall that she was a northern club comic who used to hang around with the likes of Jimmy Jones and Chubby Brown before strangely becoming a kids TV performer.

Oh god, I saw that at the time. She was horrific at times. Occasionally admirable ( in the face of all the orange-faced Trump fans) but generally obnoxious.

This is Miriam in great form - correcting Will.I.Am's use of the English language in the style of a true NSC pedant and also a disturbing story about a soldier.

But Rod will?

caught the end of a documentary about Rod Hull, seems that he was quite unlikeable towards the end, really resented the act but understood what it brought him. The lady who played Grotbags said on the last day of filming the show they'd expected to have a post production party, Hull walks in the dressing room and tells them the meal ticket is over.

Quite a candid documentary on him and the anecdote above is around 33:22

My mate, Dirty Barry, actually bedded a girl dressed up at grotbags, many years ago at a freshers dress up do.
