Who was a big TV star when you were growing up that is less relevant now?

Alan Hansen

Larry Hagman.

Russ Abbott

Rolf Harris. I loved Animal Hospital.

Noel Edmonds
Chris Tarrant
Matthew Kelly

Jeremy Beadle as well, I know he’s dead now but I think he stopped being “big” a while before he died IIRC

Simon Dee.

Anthea turner, for the obvious reasons. She was the holly willoughby of her day, then of course cheating, writing a book about it and flogging flakes at her wedding tarnished her forever.

Tom & Jerry.

Morecombe (and Wise)
Bernie Winters
Bernie Clifton
Mike Yarwood

Many more as well
(1970s when I was a kid)

Emu.

Flipper

Angus Deayton (sp?) - we watched some old Kitchen Nightmares recently

Trev and Simon

You beat me to it! I remember Simon Dee and his chat show.
"And here is your host, Siiiiiiimon Dee!"

Whatever happened to him? It seemed one minute he was the biggest star on TV and the next, he was gone.

Kat Deeley.

Gabby Logan,
Noel Edmonds,

Jamie Theakston
Gentle Ben😅

Andi Pandi, Bill and Ben, The Woodentops and Rag, Tag and Bobtail. 😊

Cilla Black

Noel Edmunds, Delia Smith, Bet Lynch, Anne Diamond and Nick Owen, Geoff Capes, Steve Davis

and Paul Daniels

I remember Radio One DJs were huge in the 70s and 80s.Do you remember Radio One Roadshows? Gary Davies, Simon Bates, Mike Read, Dave Lee Travis and my favourite, Steve Wright. Hard to believe it looking back.

Anneka Rice.
Pat Sharpe
Andi Peters

Cannon and Ball

Chris Tarrant ( my sister peed on his lap as a toddler apparently outs self )

How is Vernon Kay irrelevant? He’s on possibly the most popular radio station every weekday!

Jeremy Kyle!
