I still watch it occasionally on ITV 4 It's dated but it still makes me chuckle She worked part time for our company for a while back in the 90's before she got the EastEnders gig ... guess TV work didn't pay that well until more modern times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted February 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24, 2022 Considering the running joke regarding her character was she thought of as being ugly, she aged fairly well. Anyway, as an acknowledgment of the dry, subtle wit of “On The Buses” - 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the atmosphere in the band was often 'tense' because of a dispute between Brooker and Mathew Fisher over 'song writing' royalties. It seems the difference between what the musicians get and what the song writers get is considerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't quite that It was that Fisher thought he should have had some of the music royalties for WSoP because Brooker was getting all of them. It was settled in court eventually (about 10 years ago iirc) with Fisher getting a 40% split of WSoP's music royalties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisher won the original case , but lost his request for back royalty payments , Brooker then won on appeal but Fisher eventually won on final appeal in the House of Lords Fisher is just lucky Johan Sebastian Bach's family didn't come after him for plagiarism Edited February 25, 2022 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted March 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2022 Actor Ned Eisenberg gone at 65. Probably not a familiar name, but possibly one of those whose faces look familiar but you can’t quite place where you’ve seen them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
