Indeed. People think I'm alive, and I've been dead for years

I often remember a sketch you did with the wonderful Dick Emery,when he played that pompous know it all and you played an MI5 agent.

I'm exceedingly glad that Mr. Francis has squashed the rumour about his untimely demise.

I did read this rumour yesterday, but I always take internet rumours with a large dose of salt.

It really does annoy me that some ruddy idiot can start a rumour and without any checks, or conformation, it spreads across the entire net. As someone mentioned earlier 'the perils of the internet'.

Terrific news. We never doubted you for a second Francis.

We look forward to many more of your postings.

We are not worthy.

Default Your memories of JANET MUNRO
Wow Francis...Welcome Back...I heard you had flown this "worldly coop" yonks ago

A mutual friend of ours the late Ed Bishop was helping me with a Biography on Janet Munro which I am attempting to put together with the help of Janet's family...brother and daughters.

IF you feel so inclined I would love to get your thoughts and memories of Janet for inclusion. As I recall you did two movies with her...Small Hotel and Bitter Harvest....

Cheers and Good Health for many many years to come..

Liam

Please Britmovie, can you replace my pages, or at least accept that I was indeed appearing at Elstree last week to pay tribute to my old colleague Christopher Lee. And I have recently turned down two offers of play tours, one of which is being played by Gerald Harper and the other by Tony Britton. I AM NOT DEAD..............................yet!!

This is sooooooo cool.............................

I mean, FM, very much alive and kicking & on this forum!! As a kid if I was double lucky, I was allowed to watch PT, my ma sat through the whole prog cooing 'oh, he's so dishy......................' This is the closest I've ever come to meeting a film star............

Capt. Scarlett, Hancock, Dick Emery, top stuff, glad you still enjoying life & I can only echo what others have said here, we have done and will continue to enjoy your work and thanks for all the great memories!

...............and if anyone alive can dig up some nuggets of your missing work, they'll be on this forum!!

Live long & prosper!
.....You couldn't hear it, if they were shooting at me with howitzers!

Well done Dame. Glad Mr Matthews hasn't been "deleted" either.

I'm sure he played the lead, on stage, in Laying The Ghost by Simon Williams?

Thank you Harleybloke for celebrating my return to life! And for all the kind things about my work here and there. As for your Mum purring "dishy".......oh if only I still were.! It's enough at my end of life's spectrum to still get about.! Oddly I found my way into "Britmovie" simply by posting a defence, back in March, against someone who claimed to have seen me "shuffling", and at a time when I was doing eight shows a week at the Lyric in "Cabaret" !!
Alive and kicking...........

Thank you Starry. HOW do you do that?? I thought my recent silence had earned me ostracism and elimination!! Not only that, I was apparently dead! So..........I'm celebrating!
