It will be someone ancient from the 70's I bet. No one special. Just the DM trying to generate gossip.

GO most recently a wizards godfather. BK was a skinny pacifist

CalamityKate · 13/04/2011 10:01

Can't we forget the initials and go with soundalikes? For instance, Evan McLegger and Ray Flintstone?

Humphreythehamster - where on digitalspy is it discussed. Can never work out ... Thanks

Bucharest · 13/04/2011 10:02

KB used to be married to "Gemma Pompom" (sounds like Grin)

CalamityKate · 13/04/2011 10:03

Barry Goldman.

Thanks :)

Not GO

Humphreythehamster · 13/04/2011 10:04

Thanks winetime, I'm on phone and links are a nightmare!

Bucharest · 13/04/2011 10:04

I don't think EM would actually be so up himself to think his career warranted a gagging order. He always strikes me as very unluvvy.

Winetimeisfinetime · 13/04/2011 10:05

My money is on noddy's suggestion of RW. He seems to fit all the criteria.

LOL @ Gemma Pompom Grin

sadsad · 13/04/2011 10:06

Oh no though ... just got 2 threads to read now and should have left already!!!

Will this thread still be here this evening when I get back to catch up? If anything truly amazing happens can some pm me (pretty please!)

BringBackGoingForGold · 13/04/2011 10:07

I'd put money on it being McLegger. The rumours have always been legion. Even if the wife is 'OK' with it and they have some sort of arrangement in private, things being in the papers is a different kettle of fish.

Marie, let's have the dirt on the wife who's a pain in the arse, please? Pretty please?

HalleLouja · 13/04/2011 10:07

GO is the brother of someone in Eastenders. Strange but true.

EM would def go for a gagging order to protect his kids.

Not him though

My first thought was that male actor HL (Sue Lorry) who plays a doctor, but he's not exactly prolific, is he?

CalamityKate · 13/04/2011 10:08

GO is big Mo's brother, yeah.

Winetimeisfinetime · 13/04/2011 10:08

There was a rumour that EM was the father of the baby that his MR co-star miscarried at the end of her first marriage.

Bucharest · 13/04/2011 10:11

really.
(to winetime)
I didn't know that! Wow.
I had read (totally OT here, but curiously slebby nevertheless) that she had kept bits of the m/c fetus to prove it was, in fact, Bomb Bruise's baby, should he try and deny it......

I really need to stop this and go and hoover.

HalleLouja · 13/04/2011 10:12

I wouldn't blame her if she did. I would. Right must stop drooling.

MikeRotch · 13/04/2011 10:14
  1. which fucker has taken MY GAVEL
  1. who is it please
BalloonSlayer · 13/04/2011 10:19

Just to clarify, it does not say one of the "best actors of his generation" it says most prolific, ie works a lot, is in bloody everything.

Would not say that of Mr "Gets a prize of something heavy."

Prolific would be:

Mr "Smooths the creases out of clothes with a hot metal implement."

or

Mr H "what students used to get to live on" - except he's not married or a father is he?

or

Mr "Cooks something in a pan with oil" - but he doesn't qualify either

But they are all what I'd call "prolific." Diamond Geezer isn't.

Mr "Large commercial vehicle used to transport goods" would sort of fit as he has done comedy, novel writing, hollywood movies, TV drama, blues album etc. Although I'd call that "versatile" rather than "prolific."
