Zany Starr became notorious in 1986 following the headline "Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster".

He was said to have scoffed the furry pet when a pal refused to make him a snack.

Starr denied the story in his 2001 autobiography Unwrapped - and claimed it was a stunt by top publicist Max Clifford.
I wonder whose publicity stunt it was this time...

Freddie Starr and Dick Emery - two of the reasons I sometimes feel life is not worth living. Anyway, I bumped this thread just for the pleasure of continuing to see the incomplete title Freddie Starr Drank Dick, which I understand would be actionable under English law.

Further comment would be superfluous. And most likely libellous.

There are Dick Emery re-runs on cable. I loved the Dick Emery Show as a kid, but for me it hasn't stood the test of time.

Thinking of old comedians, I heard on the news that Bob Monkhouse is making a posthumous comeback in an ad about prostate cancer (thanks to the wonders of modern tech and with his widow's blessing).
