Its been imminent but still sorry to hear about the death of a fine Actor...


Recommended Posts

Felix Bowness (30 March 1922, Harwell, Berkshire ? 14 September 2009 was a British comedy actor best remembered for his portrayal of the jockey Fred Quilly in the BBC sitcom Hi-de-Hi!. He lived in Woodley, Reading, Berkshire. He also appeared in Oh, Doctor Beeching! and You Rang, M'Lord?. He had one son.


During his career he had credits in such comedy series as The Benny Hill Show, The Liver Birds, The Goodies, Dad's Army, Porridge, Sykes and Are You Being Served?.


He was the warm-up act for Terry Wogan's chat show Wogan, The Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise, and This Is Your Life. He was himself the subject of an edition of This Is Your Life in 1985.


I saw him do the Warm-uo for many TV Shows that I went to like Morecambe and Wise and Mike Yarwood.


Felix: R.I.P.

    • The skate park organically grew out of the situation to make it permanent defeats the purpose and the philosophy of such places
    • Hi there. If you have any half-tins of varnish (or any type of wood finish) that you're not going to use and you would like to get rid of it without dumping it, i can come and collect and will put it to good use.  I am interested in all wood finishes, natural or synthetic, including: varnish, tung oil, Danish oil, teak oil, linseed oil, polyeurathane, acrylic, wood stain, decking oil, deck varnish, yacht varnish, spar varnish, lacquer, beeswax, shellac, etc. (no paint thanks). Let me know what you have and we can agree a pickup time. Also happy to do contactless collection if you prefer to just leave it outside.  Thanks
    • It doesn't need redeveloping.  The skate park is a perfect use.
    • Rather shocking news given the apparent circumstances (still under investigation): Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and their dog https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/feb/27/gene-hackman-dies-wife-dog-95
