OT Anyone remember Donald Sinden?

[Viper]

Hi,

 

Anyone out there remember him? He is now a Sir, he lives qiute near me and we saw him in our little town today, window shopping. I heard his voice and knew who it was straight away, he has such a rich british accent you could not mistake it. He was in Doctor in the house and did a lot of Shakespear plays and films.

 

My kids all said "who" when I told them, there must be at least one of you out there who remembers him. Baddad?

[annie]

[asereht]

Am I mad or was he in a sitcom with Elaine Stritch. . She's american andhe played her enlglish butler.......can't remember the name of it though!

 

 

Theresa

[LittleRae]

Yes - yummy voice.

 

I remember it Theresa. It was called 'Two's Company' and I loved it - weird, because I was just thinking about it yesterday!

Glad I'm not the only one who is old enough to remember him

 

I think he was in a series called "Never the twain" too. He played an antiques dealer I think?

 

Viper.

[laine]

yep me too

[bevalee]

I remember him. I liked the comedy he did with Elaine Stritch, but i can't remember what it was called.

[~Jonathan~]

He's still alive, IMDb says he was born in 1923 so he's an old antique himself

[witsend]

OMG - Yes I remember him, I loved Twos Company and Never the Twain ( I know I've always been a bit sad ). Windsor Davies was in Never the Twain with him (is he still alive?) and my sister and I still laugh now about the fact that at the end of each episode the announcer would say "Donald Sinden is currently appearing in When did you Last See Your Trousers.." for some reason this still makes us laugh :lol:Witsend

PS Viper did you try and get his autograph or were you to starstruck?

Me too.xx

[Viper]

Witsend, Me star struck, I see stars all the time, usually when Ben smacks me over the head with his best car during a meltdown.

 

No I didn't get his autograph.

 

Viper.

[witsend]

Well shame on you Viper when I met Stuart Hall (It's a knockout - remember him??) years ago my mum forced me to go over and get his autograph - I still cringe now when I think of it but hey it's my one and only claim to fame (except for once holding Marc Almonds hand during a concert in bristol circa 1989 )

Luv Witsend.

I once met Leslie Crowther. He was a lovely man.

[madmooch]

I remember him, thought he was dead though

[elaine1]

yes I do, he does have a very distinctive voice. I didnt know he was still alive!

[DaisyProudfoot]

I remember Donald Sinden (but never met him) and while we're on the subject of name dropping I have also met Princess Diana and the Duke of Edinburgh - not at the same time of course

 

Also: Ian Gillan, Keith Chegwin, Tim Healy ........ I used to be a journalist. Although Keithy baby was when I was a teen
