I know

I would say for the main stars maybe
Dirty Den
Benny from Crossroads
Jimmy Cricket
Cannon and Ball

Unknowns

One the girls who was a secretary in Are you Begin Served?

One of the girls who as in a WHAM video

The not relevant since the 60's (or at least in years)

One of the girls who never made it from a Carry On film but you kinda know the face

A Dad's Army cast member (Pike)
Maybe Olive from On the Buses

She may not be in the BB house...but her husband is...right now!!

edit...oops...someone beat me to it

Bev75 · 26/08/12 - 15:02

Haha I used to crack up laughing at Olive (On the buses), I wonder what she was really like.

Morcame & Wise would have been brilliant, imagine the pranks!

Ronnie Barker.

The problem is, people are listing names of people whose careers were going well in the 80s, like the Dirty Den man and Annie Lennox. They wouldn't have touched BB with a barge pole! It would more likely have been singers who'd had a couple of minor hits in the late 60s hoping to make a comeback.

[Deleted User] · 26/08/12 - 15:08

Lennie Bennett and Anita Harris ...

sheepiefarm · 26/08/12 - 15:10

Mike Yarwood - trying to resurrect his career

One of the dancers from Pan's People / Legs & Co

SnowStorm86 · 26/08/12 - 15:10

Freddie Mercury.
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.

Sues · 26/08/12 - 15:14

I was going to say Freddie too but may be he would be a bit before his time for BB, as being gay still had a shock value then.

If it was after Den was killed off maybe it would have taken most of the budget but I think they could have got him.

I never realised Martin's Kemp wife was a WHAM girl.

To add to the list maybe a former Doctor Who or companion.

What about the American

Again not one to relevant maybe one of the Dukes Of Hazzard or early enough into the 80's the up and coming Sly Stallone or Arnie Schwarzenegger

sheepiefarm · 26/08/12 - 15:17

The American would have to be Charlene Tilton

sheepiefarm · 26/08/12 - 15:21

The guy who played Brian Tilsley on Coronation street
