Birthdays: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB! {Blackadder}

Aaaah BOB!

Happy belated 66th birthday to Gabrielle Glaister, born on 27 July 1960 in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire!

Blackadder fans know her best as "Bob" — she only appeared in three episodes across two series, but her performances stuck. In Blackadder II's classic episode "Bells," she played Kate, who disguises herself as a boy named Bob to find work, only for Blackadder to fall hopelessly in love with "him." She later returned in Blackadder Goes Forth as Driver Parkhurst, another character nicknamed Bob, a running joke fans still love more than 35 years on.

Before all that, Gabrielle trained with the National Youth Theatre and once played the title role in Oliver Twist opposite a young Ben Elton, long before he became one of Blackadder's writers. Her career has stretched far beyond comedy too, with roles in Brookside as Patricia Farnham, Coronation Street, Midsomer Murders, Sherlock, Unforgotten and Silent Witness, alongside steady work in theatre and radio.

Whether she's remembered as Bob, Patricia, or one of her many other roles, Gabrielle Glaister has been a fixture of British television for over four decades.

Happy belated birthday!

Hayden Panettiere 1989-2026

Hayden Panettiere Aug. 21. 1989 — Aug. 16. 2026

I was terribly saddened to hear of the death of this young actor (36?)and yet wasn’t really familiar with her work on Heroes and the country music series about Nashville but found it telling and a little uncomfortable that not much has been said of her addictions as such (may be too early and we need to wait for the post mortem but at 36 to die pretty clearly of her struggle with addiction to Opioids and Alcohol (a totally lethal combination especially when taken together) needs to be examined and too too many are dying of this addiction it seems to me

Just too too sad

This is The Tom Jones Show 1971 - The Funky Chicken!

Well this will blow a few cobwebs off ( and a few minds perhaps!!?)

Let’s start the day with THE FUNKY CHICKEN!!

An extraordinary programme and an extraordinary idea with Tom not exactly shying away from putting it all out there but that he had bands like Janis and Big Brother and CSNY on his TV prgramme was little sort of astonishing really . . . .mind you it didn’t stop the occasional embarrassing moment hey?
