I have just seen last nights heroes of comedy, which was devoted to the late great Spike Milligan.Several clips from the Q series were shown, one included what looked like a very young, brunette and topless Linzi Drew!Did anyone else see this and could confirm this bizarre sight? also, does anyone have any ideas on the other 2 topless girls?

Thanks in advance, Rob.

If it's any help he had two big boobed women regulars called Julia Breck and Margaret Nolan, of Carry On films, who went topless, which was very impressive in those days.

Just seen Popstars behaving badly on sky one and Linzi was topless on there too, with Shaun Rider of the Happy Mondays. I seem to remember she "got 'em out live on the James Whale show!
Does this Lady make a habit of this sort of caper...er oh yes she does.

No disrespect to Linzi drew but
I think gentleman we are missing the point.

Spike Milligan was one of the greatest british citizens of the 20th century.To me he was the beginning of British Modern Humour.

He did not follow where others had made the path but made his own path with that anglo/celtic humour that has survived 5000 years and more.

I have only ever had the priviledge of reading two of Spikes Books but the titles too me some up the man in a nutshell,

Adolph Hitler,My part in his downfall
Monty,His part in my victory

On a positive note when you arrive in heaven/hell you will be greeted by the Goons(now that they are reunited)

Amen

I am a huge fan of Milligan's work, and sorry to be pedantic, but I think you'll find he was an Irish citizen, not British.
