Felt ruddy ancient tonight, watching casualty.
Alan Rothwell playing a pensioner... last time I saw him, he was Elsie Tanner's son. Where did the time go ??

[tonyav]

Dennis Tanner, ferlew !.

[ducksie]

that was 1960-1968 ferlew, he'll be 78 next month - I know how you feel though as I couldn't believe Amanda Barrie (in Benidorm last night as the medium) is 79 !! she looks brill

[bobbie22]

I thought that he was ken barlows brother

[BlackadderV]

Bobbie is correct. David Barlow, killed off in 1970.

[ducksie]

bobbie 22 you could be right, according to IMDb his cahracter name was David Barlow

[dunnitall]

Yeh he was ken barlows younger brother I think, but he looks much older now than Bill Roache in real life lol.

[bobbie22]

He was good looking too

[ducksie]

sorry about typos (good reason) meant character

[ferlew]

Ahhh yes, of course.
Ken's brother, not Elsie's lad, no idea why I thought that.

[ferlew]

Correct soap though :)

[boxtops]

I thought he was a bit of all right, back in the day. I caught the end of Casualty tonight, not seen it for years, Derek Thompson's hair's white too - he's six months younger than me, pigging heck!

I knew I knew his face! ;)

Alan Rothwell ,used to do picturebox remember that when i was a young lad.

[puternut]

For someone of 77 he didnt look too bad and he seemed quite spritely - yes I would guess falling through the roof was a stunt double.

And make-up might have aged him?

[BlackadderV]

David Barlow married Irma Ogden (daughter of Stan and Hilda). They emigrated to Oz, where David was killed off in a car crash because Sandra Gough (Irma) wanted to return to the Street but Rothwell did not.

[clyde59]

He was in Brookside as well,played Nicholas Black heroin addict

[BlackadderV]

Sandra Gough (Irma) played two parts in Emmerdale, Doreen Shuttleworth and Nellie Dingle.
