Among his other roles, Mead sits on the ruling “court” of the Whitgift Foundation (he is a Trinity school old boy) and chairs the managing board of the privately run, commercial arts centre at the Fairfield Halls. Deby and her husband Steve are the proud parents of 'little superstar' Dudley - as well as golden retriever Beau and Tibetan terriers Paddy and Somba, as well as tortoise Eddie. Despite the global attention, some messages are sent from much closer to home, and have provided much-needed support for Deby and her family. She said: "We have three other dogs – Paddy, Somba and Beau – and Dudley loves playing with his brothers. Figures in October showed that of 254 families in Gilroy Court, 189 had been there longer than the law permits, a point on which Don Foster, a ConDem government minister, was particularly strong on the original Newsnight programme.

Deby explained: "I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in November 2018, and we follow an account called Cookie Crew which is based in London. Cookie's dad, who runs the account, posted he had Hodgkin lymphoma, so I messaged him to ask about his experience. Moore's movie career began in the 1960s with roles in comedies such as Bedazzled and Monte Carlo Or Bust. Here are Ray Rayner and Cuddly Dudley on the TV show, Ray Rayner and Friends on WGN-TV Channel 9 in Chicago.This policy has been described as “absolutely wrong, it’s inappropriate, and potentially may even be against the law”, the view not of some left-wing firebrand, but of Tory government minister Grant Shapps. Moore's big break came in the film 10, in a part he won after meeting director Blake Edwards at a group therapy session. 10 was a fantasy movie for wimps and Moore was typecast. His progression of wives since sometimes seems like unfilmed sequels of 10. Throughout the Eighties Moore was seen in more good restaurants than movies, always with a beautiful woman. He bought the trappings of success even though he was still only on the B-list of bankable actors. There's always this feeling of why did it hit me? I cannot make peace with it because I know I am going to die from it. Yes, I feel angry, that's true - to be reduced to this insignificant version of myself is overpowering."

Mr Norman said: "Women liked him, that was the great thing. As he often said what made him sexually attractive, he thought, was the fact that he wanted women to like him and they knew it and responded.a b Wilmer, Val (4 September 2000). "Obituary of Iggy Quail". The Guardian . Retrieved 27 October 2010. In 2010, together with his Conservative colleagues on the council, Mead voted through an increase in the council “allowances” (that’s “pay” in common English) that he is due to receive. Roy Brown, who performed as Cooky The Clown on Bozo’s Circus, was the voice and puppeteer of Cuddly Dudley. Cuddly also had a girlfriend named Clairese. I don’t remember seeing her on the show, but a stuffed animal doll of Clairese was available to the public. Those are very rare. There were two stories published in The Chicago Tribune Newspaper in 1967 and 1968 that featured Cuddy Dudley. The first one was How Cuddly Dudley Saved The Runaway Christmas Train. The second one was How Cuddly Dudley Rescued Santa Claus. They were extremely popular during the holiday season. The puppet and his doghouse are part of the collection of the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago. Yes, that’s a fine record of “civic service” in allocating millions of pounds of public funds to pet projects. Well done, Dudders!

They later famously performed a series of foulmouthed but legendary sketches as the characters Derek and Clive. Mr Norman said of Moore's degenerative brain condition: "I think he kept it hidden, certainly from the public and from people who knew him, people in the media and the business, for quite some time - but there came a point where it just couldn't be hidden any longer."

Dudley Mead: criticism of Croydon Council’s illegal and callous mishandling of the homeless is “unfair”. Poor dear When he went public with his illness he joked that he contracted the disease, which afflicts one in 100,000 people, as a favour to the other 99,999 members of the Screen Actors' Guild. Jez is the author and illustrator of 48 books for children. In 2018 he published The Story of 'You' his first book for adults, the first in a series called Life Beyond Personality. He says: "We enter this world as pure Oneness, (what I call our ‘original state of Being’) but we lose this as we become identified with our Personality. In that identification, the Stillness and Love of our Original State is overshadowed by the suffering of the Personality. On at least one occasion in the chamber at the Town Hall, Mead has been forced to make a public apology for comments he has made about a fellow councillor. The Ombudsman has joined Newsnight‘s criticism of the squalid conditions at Gilroy Court, the B&B establishment on London Road that is paid so much public money by our council to “house” the homeless. The Ombudsman’s report described Gilroy Court as “unsuitable”.

Animal lover Deby said: "I saw a post on Facebook from Thortful which was asking people to send in photos of their dogs, so I sent in all four. I'm always sending photos of the dogs in to things like that. Deby explained: "We have three other dogs, Paddy, Somba and Beau, and Dudley loves playing with his brothers.In the past we have attended Valentine's parties, Halloween parties, and there are always lots of photo opportunities and the chance to get dressed up. I actually forgot that I'd sent it in, so it was a surprise when I got a message telling me that Dudley had made the top 10! Of course, it was “Cuddly Dudley” Mead who seemed very keen to appear on television and in national newspapers last year to announce his “initiative” that the borough was going to “export” its homeless “oop north”, where it was cheaper and therefore cost our council less.
