Your favourite old f*rt

[ex hibitionist]

Used to have great old f*rts on the telly, men in their 70s with quiet expertise on mahogany wardrobes, border collies or magnolias. Here is a list, you are welcome to comment or add to it:

Phil Drabble - One Man and his dog (with his back up Eric something)
Percy Thrower - gardener
Arthur Negus - antiques
Percy Edwards - animal impressions
Jack Hargreaves - gadgets and craftsmanship
Fred Dibnah - chimneys
Arthur Ellis - and his dipstick
Patrick Moore - astronomy (maybe a little too lively)
Dorothy Sleighthome - Farmhouse Kitchen
John Arnott - cricket and lawnmowers

A lot of you will go for 'don't cry for me Arthur Negus' but for me it is the inestimable Phil Drabble, with his flat cap and 'come by' - always thought that show could have gone global, had something sweet, eccentric and homely that makes you nostalgic for the England of Dad's Army and Lyons tea rooms.

Does Alf Garnett count? ⚒️

Fred Emney (Italian Job)
Ballard Berkeley (Fawlty Towers)

Pure entertainment value

When the Café de Paris got bombed in the war (the dancer Snakehips Johnson was killed) Ballard Berkeley was a special constable who was first on the scene.
I'll nominate Willie Nelson.
And Kathleen Harrison because she reminds me of my nan.

Fanny Cradock - she was about 150, but tried masking it with a 2 inch layer of make up.

Waiting for Cucking to say 'would' 🤢
