Finetime Fontayne

[corylus]

Was that Finetime in the cell with Peter tonight? He looked familiar and was in the soap years ago as I remember.

[Jomlett]

It most certainly was.

[corylus]

Thanks for that, I thought I'd spotted him straight away but still can't remember his previous role.

[Jomlett]

Hilda's lodger, Henry Wakefield. 1985!

Hope this helps

[corylus]

He's been around a bit hasn't he?

[Jomlett]

He was great as Stephen J Blackburn in The Blackburn Files. He played an ex-pitman turned private investigator in a BBC comic drama on Radio 4x.

I'd forgotten him, just Wiki'd him to discover he was born a couple of miles away from where I live!

Here he was in 1985 on Corrie

I can't help feeling a little disappointment at finding out that Finetime Fontayne is not his real name. According Wikipedia it's his stage name- his real name is
Ian Crossley.

Now I daren't check whether Dizzee Rascal and Snoop Dogg were born with those names

[Ric.ror]

Am I correct in thinking he won mastermind once

[factor-fiction]

Don't think so.

[Mick-the-Miller]

I remember him in a Radio comedy called 'Street and Lane' about two builders - it was co-written by Ian Macmillan - the Barnsley poet.

It was funny in a bit of a quirky way!
