Tim Healy on Stars in Their Eyes

Last Saturday, fans of the TV series 'Stars in their eyes', would have been treated to AufPet's own Tim Healy, appearing of Joe Cocker singing 'You are so beautiful'. His wife and eldest son were in the audience as he sang the number. Alas Tim did not win, the gold going to Jack Ryder as Justin Timberlake. It was none the less very entertaining to watch.

Pat Roach Dies at 67

It is with tremendous sadness and regret that The Original Auf Wiedersehen, Pet Homepage reports the tragic death of Pat Roach. Pat was 67 years old and had been battling with cancer for three years.

Pat was infamous to fans of the show as Bomber, the gentle giant. Pat always loved his time on the show, and the friendship he developed with his co-stars was one which he cherished. A former professional wrestler, Pat went on to open his own fitness centre in his native Birmingham. He released “If”, his autobiography in 2001, and had just releaqsed a second book “Pat Roach’s Birmingham”.

He will be greatly missed by many, not least the fans of his most infamous character, and his loss will leave a Bomber shaped gap in British TV Drama for many years to come…..
