There’s nothing Nigel can’t do
Not a lot of people know this about Nigel Farage, and he doesn’t like to shout about it, but many years ago he spotted a young boy crying on Clacton Seafront. He asked him why he was so upset, and it was because his mum had given him a pound to go and buy a 99 but just as he approached the ice cream kiosk, a seagull had swooped down and stolen it from him before flying off towards the amusements. Without a single moment’s hesitation, Nigel gave the boy another pound to get a 99, and then he bought ice creams for every single child on the seafront that day. Inspired by his kindness, the child hugged him and promised that he would never forget his act of generosity. That little boy grew up to be Whitney Houston.

Between-episodes head transplant in #Crossroads brings us Wonderful Wendy Williams! I’ve been waiting for this! 😁

She’s such a real fave of mine, beloved by #vintagetv #classictv and #DoctorWho fans, and she’s straight into a blazing row about test tube babies. Hooray!

John Bennett was never out of work. 190 credits on IMDb incl lead roles in drama series and nice character roles in Hollywood films. His IMDb thumbnail is DW, showing half him and half Christopher Benjamin.

No wonder some actors want to distance themselves from the show.
