Very big in the 70s- but then seemed to disappear from our screens...had to check several times that he wasn't already dead.

Cf. Gerald Harper.

Are you sure ?

I can find no reference to this on the web. I have search Google and looked in News and there is no mention of it.

Anyone got a link (if there is one)?

Nothing on the news sites so far, and I would have hoped, given how much work he'd done with the corporation, the Beeb might have reported it.

And Steve is right---Harper was the lucky guy squiring Ms Alexander.

I am still not convinced this is true.

Whenever someone dies all you have to do is go into Google, search under their name, and then select the "News" section and there are usually loads of "hits" as it will be mentioned on lots of web sites.

There is NOT ONE for Francis Matthews which makes me believe this is a hoax.

There is nothing on this TV heaven forum either



Can anyone find anything to back this up (I cannot get into the zeta minor site that Steve56 mentions as you have to register and I cannot be bothered)
