supergran71 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I meant to post this on Tuesday, but forgot. Did anyone see David Essex on The One Show, BBC1 Monday (this week)? I didnt recognise him, he has not aged well. Only his voice convinced us that it was him!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nici Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I know Supergran! I didn't recognize him either, came as a bit of a shock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Poppy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I didn't see it, but he was always so gorgeous. What about those eyes!! Had they changed?? Pp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergran71 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 The eyes have lost their gleam I am afraid. He just looked like any other 62 year old man with grey hair. Totally nondescript. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 How sad.... used have posters of him plastered all over my bedroom wall when I was a teenager and had all his records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Poppy Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I guess we are all being a wee bitty selfish here. How was he in himself? Was he happy, healthy, still humourous happy with his life?? Pp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 You can watch a video of him here - top right-hand side. He sounds fine and I think he still looks okay - a bit older and greyer but hey, it happens to us all eventually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~V~ Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I thought he looked well. If you hadn't known what a beautiful young man he was, then you'd think he was a nicer looking older man. He still has that sexy mouth from what I could see under the facial foliage And yes, I was a big fan too. I touched the leg of 'that' white suit when I saw him as a kid - it was the first live show I ever went to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyanddandy Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 V - I too saw him live at Sutton Granada in 1970 something - my sister got slung out for trying to climb on the stage trying to touch the whilte suit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inver Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Remember I dragged hubby (before we were married) along to see him in concert back in the late 70's early 80's. Was probably bored but I loved it/him;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the link.....he is still lovely and still has that certain something.....sigh:smile2:. Wish I had gone to see Aspects of Love when it was up here in Aberdeen.

Purple Poppy Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Does anyone remember him in a drama series based on or around a canal? I think he lived on a barge or house boat or something. I liked it at the time, but the critics downed it and so I think they only did the one series. Pp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I remember that! I'm sure there was a dark haired Scottish girl in it with him too! It was called 'The River'! Katy Murphy was the Scottish lass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Poppy Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Yeah...me too! But we appreciate older men...actually I always did prefer older as in a decade or two older than me. Never been one for younger males. He still looks fab! Official! Ahh! janet. You star! I will read about it properly later as we're off out soon. That's it...The River.
