Parley Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Yeah just saw this. I used to like Jim 'l Fix It and Top of The Pops when I was a kid. Still he lived to a good age. I remember him with half a beard on one show. Clean shaven on one side of face and full beard on the other. Funny bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest57588 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I do hope St Peter fixed it for him to walk through the Pearly Gates, but if they've got a smoking ban in heaven like they seem to have everywhere else then he might be in trouble if he tries to light up one of his cigars! Can just see him and Alan "Fluff" Freeman doing the Top 40 rundown every sunday afternoon in heaven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
