Lol. He married the bird who did the voice over, Laura Callard, must be some life in the old dog yet. (He's 70 this year)

Wondering if the host of Mr and Mrs - the most successful show in the modest history of Carlisle based Border Television - is still breathing.

 

Anyone know?

Tell him we're asking after him, do you have any other friends in showbiz and any inside information you might want to share?

Derek has just sold the family jewels - i.e. the rights to Mr and Mrs - for a shitload of cash. The show's comin' back without him. Only heard the story third hand. Seems he's still healthy enough to enjoy the cash. So far as I can tell he didn't whisper hoarsely; 'I'm not long for this world, take all I have.' It was more along the lines of a calmly conducted transaction after some tense negotiations.

surely a cache of sh*t is a more realistic payment for such a crap gameshow format.

Just sold?

 

MPFC, you need better news sources.

 

This is old news. This story was first reported in July and Batey is acting as a consultant.

 

 

He's probably already splashing the cash.

Aye, it was a friend of a friend jobbie. He's not - I think - doing a lot of consulting, more relaxing in the sun and spending his cash. He, his wife and his daughter live pretty well on his vast stash of money.

When he's not working cruise ships, Roy Walker's living in Scotland and going out with a 30 something year old optician who's a good friend of a good friend. Nothing wrong with his health to report!

 

love and kisses

 

lil sis

:pop:

 

 

Roy Walker, Lytham, not Scotland. North Pier, not cruise ships. No partner.

As Roy said about his much younger squeeze; 'It's good.....but it's not right.'

Derek Batey is/ was a naus...

 

Any one agree? I think he,s still alive and well but he can,t have much longer to go, can he? Maybe hes another resident of that retirement home that Richard O sullivan lives in? When watching him on Mr and Mrs I could never decided if he was a true scot or just putting on the accent when he felt like it as it seemed to change depending on the couple he was playing with!

I think he was born in Cumberland but spent time north of the border.

 

May be wrong though, and perhaps he was just adding it because he couldn't get any work with his normal voice... :P

We've been Batey baiting before. A thread merging - possibly three way to include the quizz show hosts - may be in order.

Perhaps he got the idea for Mr and MRS as a chance to get in on as many threesomes as possible!

 

And remember his "hostess" Susan Cuff/Cup/Clough?? whose very important job it was to shuffle contestants from one side of the stage to the other and look brain dead? I think I need to watch some old repeats of this show to remind me of the naffness of it all!!

 

 

Derek is actually "up for rent": http://www.mr-and-mrs.tv/derek-batey.htm

 

Im sooooo tempted!!!
