Jack Rosenthal

You're in this program about this and yet, you know, I don't think anybody really realizes that you're gay or maybe it was just me I don't know.

I think there was probably a lot of people who did anyway, he he was back but the person I remember the most is and it's something again going on to extenders afterwards was kenneth connor oh wow and kenneth connor was in um at that time and i remember and it was not long um and then he didn't he passed away not long after but i remember thinking this is so iconic i'm with like kenneth collar who you know uh carry on man and i was like this is just incredible and when i look at my the roles i've done and the people i've worked with i i cannot believe the catalogue i mean i worked on the last piece of filming um with sir alec guinness What's that? Yeah, called Cold Enough Snow, which was basically Maureen Litmer's husband at that time, passed away, Jack Rosenthal, had written this thing about mothers and fathers sending their kids off to university.

And James Fleet was in it.

He played Alec Guinness's son in it, who was a lecturer.

Mind you, we could have done with one of those, couldn't we, when Argentina were playing.

There was an ITV play written by Jack Rosenthal called Another Sunday in Sweet F.A., And it's about a referee on the Sunday morning game in a park in Manchester.

Davis Swift plays the referee and he starts off by getting the two captains who are glowering at each other at the kickoff saying, I just want to say one thing, lads.

This is not bloody World War Three.

Mum, mum, it's the dustbin men.

Remember that series? Jack Rosenthal wrote it.

Maureen Lipman says, what about that actor? Oh, I'm not going to act with Maureen Lipman.

She's this, she's that.
