Max King was only in the show for nine months or so and I wondered if actor Charlie Kemp was axed from the role or if he wanted to leave? I always liked his character, he was the, "Nice" King brother. Fantastic exit and aftermath storyline though.

Yes, I think so. I remember the producer at the time saying that they wanted to do something different with the Kings and show them to be a bit more sympathetic.

I'm pretty sure that he was as I remember Charlie Kemp talking about it in an interview. It was nothing to do with his performance but they did want a tragedy within the Kinds, humanise them and killing off the nice 'baby' of the family that they all loved was the best way to do it.

I really liked Max and miss him - as I do all the Kings really. A great family. Still, if we were to be left with only one I'm glad it is Jimmy as I have always had a huge soft spot for him

Damn shame they got rid of Matt and Carl. I always feel that a big mistake for Emm, they had such rapport and brought a lot to the prog.Anyone know what Matt is up to ? Carl is doing Panto in Blackpool this year .
