I really enjoy watching Jay and Geoff’s videos about London. Having left London in the mid-60’s, it’s nice to be reminded of the area in which I grew up. Jay pointed out where Bruce Forsythe once lived in Uphill Drive as they drove up Watford Way between Mill Hill Broadway and Apex Corner. At the time, Bruce was the compare of Val Parnell’s Sunday Night at the London Palladium. I had a paper round in that area at the time but I only saw him the once as he was leaving the house. I would have been thirteen. He came out of the house to open the gates as I was walking down the footpath. I suddenly saw him and froze to the spot in panic! He glanced over at me and then walked over to pick something up by the road. I could see him chuckling to himself. I expect that he’d got used to startling shy young paperboys, lol. From Uphill Drive, Geoff and Jay would have gone around Apex Corner and taken the A1 Barnet Way leaving the A41 behind. Bruce Forsythe wasn’t the only famous person living in that area. Both Leslie Phillips from the ‘Carry On’ films and Roger Moore lived in Barnet Way. Roger Moore lived, I think, at no 48 and Leslie Phillips at 78, (I used to deliver Leslie Phillips’ newspapers at one time). In Roger Moore’s case, this would I think have been after he had split up with Dorothy Squires and would have been playing in ‘The Saint’. I never saw Roger Moore myself although my Mum and my brother-in-law frequently did. Leslie Phillips was often to be seen around, usually accompanying his children walking up to the shops at Apex Corner. As far as I know, he lived at that address for many years. Jay seems to have a very intimate knowledge of this area. I was born and grew up in Ellesmere Avenue and the short cut through from the bottom of Ellesmere Avenue to what we used to call ‘Scratch Woods’ motorway service station, was not common knowledge when I lived there. I’m surprised that it hasn’t been blocked off. The residents wouldn’t thank Jay for advertising it on KZfaq, lol.

I didn't know that Topol and Rodney Bewes lived in the area. I once dropped off some cakes at Patrick McGoohan's house when I worked for Mr Hinds, the baker, in Dawes Lane. My Mum worked in his shop at one time. She often served Patrick McGoohan. She loved him. She said how polite and respectful he was. Thanks for that.
