To think Michael Brandon was gorgeous. Any old Dempsey Makepeace fans around?

I just caught a re run of Dempsey and Makepeace and there is something really very attractive about him. His Co star and rl wife is also very naturally gorgeous. The programme probably hasn't stood the test of time that well but it was an enjoyable hour of my time today!

I loved it! I had my hair cut the same as Glynis Barber! 😍. They are both very good looking people.

Completely agree. I loved him!

Strictlydusting · 11/03/2022 19:54

My friend and I were obsessed with this programme and I still have my Dempsey and Makepeace annual for old times sake!

Loved it first time round as a teenager - not so much when I caught it the other day!!
It REALLY hasn't stood the test of time! Added to which Glynis Barber has been a vocal anti-vaxer / conspiracy theorist over Covid on Twitter which has also put me off.
And I'm a lady who loves ladies - so the Michael Brandon thing does nothing for me obvs!
I think it was perhaps better left in the 80s!!!!!! Sorry!!

Met him once. Not that special irl and did the most celeb thing I’ve ever witnessed. I was working in a railway ticket office and he very pleasantly came and asked me directions to a hotel it was staying at. I pointed across the road and said “just there across the road” literally 30 seconds if that to cross.

What did he do? Got in a cab and have him drive over the road!

Never forgotten it!

I haven't seen this but I once met him. I was working in a box office and he bought a ticket for the show. He was really lovely and chatted for ages. He's a very engaging person in real life too.

Yep. Completely in love with him as a young teen. I had a picture of him over my bed. Along with Michael Praed as Robin of Sherwood.

I definitely have a thing for dark-haired men Wink

Oh I thought he was absolutely gorgeous! 💯

ButtockUp · 11/03/2022 21:18

Yes! He was lovely! In my mind , I looked like Glenys Barber.

@theluckiest Michael Praed!!! Oh my...😍

Cheeseandlobster · 11/03/2022 22:06

I used to have posters of them back in the day. In my mind I was going to grow up to be exactly like Glynis Barber. They are still together now I think
