Hello, Me Owd Pal.
What an amazing surprise to find your website Bernard! Had no idea that you had taken to the stage. (Woodhouse is totally gobsmacked!)Where are you these days?
I lived in Canada for about 16 years and returned to the UK in 2001 and now live happily retired at Up Holland - Email ron@wiganworld,co.uk and he will pass on my details. It would be great if we could meet up again some time and catch up on all the gossip.
Cheers Dud,
(Oi could've been a judge, but never had the latin)
Pete,

I always thought Bernard came from Greenough Street. I'm sure his grandma lived there.

I saw Bernards performance as the Russian gangster Eric Ruben. He was very good.

Rock on Bernie!

Yes Bunty I do agree. Peter Bernards performance as Eric Ruben was stunning. I hope we see lot more of this fine actor in the near future.

bernie I watched your ganster picture too and I thought you was just great and I love ya.

Like all his school mates I have spoken to recently, I was surprised to hear about Bernards acting talent coming to the fore. But I do remember his passion at school for TV programmes and actors. Yes Bernard always had a theatrical side to his character and an artisitic side to his nature but I didnt think that one day he would be famous.
