Roy Walker... he might have died I think?
Jim Bowen is still around - he has been in Phoenix Nights, Peter Kay resurrected him 
I was going to say The Jimmy Clitheroe show, which was on the telly box on a Saturday early evening. His cousin Alfie who he would get in to scrapes with, and his mum Thora hird. Which brings me onto Freddy Frinton, They were funny together.
Freddy played a terrific drunk, but he wasn't if you know what I mean. I truly am showing me age here,but never mind eh.

That rings a bell Sezit... though it might have been on tv when I was quite young.
Thora Hird was brilliant though 
her and Beryl Reid... really gifted comediennes. [ Miranda Hart - you can't compete - go away 
]

Rosie. Yes it was Meet the Wife the programme I was thinking of,and you are right about that Miranda one.
I used to love, love, love listening to Jimmy Clithroe on a Sunday lunchtime whilst shucking the peas for my mum and laying the table
We used to listen to him too then and we had to lay the table and help out while listening.
Simple pleasures eh Soozy!

Roy Walker and Jim Bowen are alive and well in all the repeats of Bullseye and Catchphrase on Challenge TV.
We have discovered this hidden gem in the last few weeks since we have a new tv with a set top box gubbins included. No more just terrestrial tv for us lol!!
They even have 3-2-1 with that Ted whatshisname.
But that's crap

You're a norty girl Suzy... but that made me laugh out loud

Just as well he brought chocolate then ... not an entirely wasted trip - at least he was good for something.
A few faces that i remember being on telly regularly when i was a kid - but have rarely spotted from the 90's onwards:
Dickie Davies (World Of Sport)
Lewis Collins (Cuckoo Waltz / The Professionals)
Jan Francis (Secret Army / Just Good Friends)
Richard O'Sullivan (Dick Turpin)
Jill Gascoine (The Gentle Touch / Cats Eyes)
Monica Rose
John Noakes, whatever happened to him? Peter Perves and Val Singleton keep cropping up but not our John...
Muriel Young and Pussycat Willum
Charlie drake......."Allo my darlins"
Charlie drake......."Allo my darlins"
Right said Fred. I had an album with that song on.
Phil Cool? Did he bend his face right out of the public?
Besides Leslie Crowther from Crackerjack already mentioned, there was also Peter Glaze.
And a couple from the 1950s:
Jimmy Edwards and
Richard Hearne (Mr Pastry)
Mr Pastry
Old Mother Riley anyone? Saturday morning pictures?
Charlie drake......."Allo my darlins"
Right said Fred. I had an album with that song on.
Phil Cool? Did he bend his face right out of the public?
Think that was Bernard Cribbins - best Jackanory presenter evahhhhhhhhhh.
Coo, and Phil Cool - whatever happened to him? He was on the telly practically every Saturday night (didn't he have his own show?). I think Jasper Carrot first intoduced him to the public 
Clodagh Rodgers. Another one who was a Saturday night guest slot and a Eurovision entry back in the day. Where did she disappear to?
Soozy: I can remember Old Mother Riley (and Mr. Pastry). I was a mere babe in arms, natch......

The Astoria, Brixton before it became The Academy. Entry up the main stairs into the plush foyer. Two hours later, hoiked out of the side exits into the back alleys
Here's a house........here's a door..............windows...............

I was the Croydon Odeon - the same shabby old treatment. Years later I got my own back ..............pals paid for two tickets and then ran down the back stairs to let us all in through the fire exit! We knew our way around.
Here's a house........here's a door..............windows...............
One Two Three Four......ready to knock....turn the lock......Playschool
YAY! Erin. Was wondering who'd come in with the next part
PMSL!
Glad you find it funny, nutsy! 
That was our hard earnt sixpences I'll have you know.
And see what good it did the management - SoozyWoo ended up carving a career out of breaking and entering!
Ki-Ora during the interval if you were in funds and if you really were pushing the boat out then it was an ice cream tub with a wooden spoon. Choc Ices were for them with a more discerning palette.
Wincy Willis (the weather girl from the 80s)
Five Star - on everything in the 80s, and then nothing - ha ha, 80s UK's answer to the Jacksons! - A cautionary tale for JLS
David Gray
Dido - ha ha as well,A cautionary tale for Adele
Hale and Pace ... d' management
Mike Smith and Sarah Green,
Muriel Gray - the darling of Channel 4 higher brow output when they had higher brow programming
Mr Motivator
Travis - they were shit, weren't they? Another band where suddenly the record buying public came to its senses and realised they were boring as hell
Ruby Wax - gone for good, I hope
Duncan (Chase me) Norvelle
Samantha Fox
PMSL!

Maaaaan! Kia Ora in the plastic cartons with the orange top and the straw that you poked through the hole and made a hell of a noise at the bottom of the carton as you sucked
Tony Slattery - there was a time when he was always on tv - then he vanished.
A similar one who was all over topical panel shows around the same time was Tony Hawks
Ahhhhhhhhh....memories of Saturday morning pictures.....
Please no one mention Sing Something Simple ....................whooooooooooooooooops I just did. That used to fill me with doom and gloom.
Awwww, was that that the one we used to listen to on the way home in the ford zephyr after a Sunday afternoon out? if so, I loved it
