Tony Scott's death

Bob Dobson · 20-08-2012, 08:27

I've been told that Tony Scott has just died in America . I thought he had died some years ago. I always think about him and his 'brother' when eating a Curly Wurly or when I see June Whitfield on TV, or see any reference to the Carry On films.

I think you are confusing him with Terry Scott

Well done M. This proves that you are more with it than Flashy, who failed to spot the point I was making. I happen to know that Jaysay failed as well. Nowt wrong with your grey matter

Come off it Bob - your memory is failing you - admit it.

It is just old age - live it gracefully.

No Jaysay didn't fail he just thought you were off your trolly

Tony Scott DID commit suicide, i haven't a clue who Terry Scott is....so i didn't fail with anything

Maybe Mr Dobson is just trying to cover his tracks by saying everyone else failed when infact it was HIM who failed

Funny though that Tony really does have a brother - Ridley, director of Alien and Blade Runner fame.

Tony Scott was an American film maker. Terry Scott was an English actor and comedian who died in 1994 - he appeared in some Carry On films, the sitcom Terry and June, the Cadbury's Curly Wurly advert dressed as a schoolboy and he also brought out a song called 'My Brother' which I seem to remember was played a lot on Junior Choice on the radio.

Sorry Anne Tony Scott was British, born in North Shields, and his brother Ridley was born on the other side of the river in South Shields. They were brought up on Teeside.

That is 100% correct.
