Tim Healy in his teens!

[Gene Hunt]

I've just been sent these great photos of Tim Healy by a contact I have called Michael Forsyth. Tim (known as Malcolm back then) was Michaels brother's best friend and was Best Man at his wedding. Taken some time in the late 60s when they lived in Ouston (which is very near to The Robin Hood pub which featured in the Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads episode "The Great Race" that some 4:3tv members visited on a Meet a few years back.













Michael has some more photos and is sending them over to me when he finds them.

Gene.

Unmistakenly Tim.  It's not what you know    Thanks for sharing Gene 

[Sparky]

Wow!

Amazing pics Gene. Thanks for putting them up.

Great work, Gene. Looks like Tim was a bit of a Mod back in the day.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing these Gene, rare to see personal snaps of a famous face.

Maybe he was camping in Hexham, the place Dennis remembers fondly in 'The Fugitive'.

Fantastic pictures that show Tim in a relaxed and personal scenario away from, and pre-dating, the TV cameras. That picture of him sat alone in the tent looks like a typical and unmistakably "Dennis" pose.

One question though: why is 4:3TV's D.C. Burtonshaw appearing to be asleep in the back right of the third photo?

Thanks for managing to blag these photos and for posting them up here Gene.

These are absolutely brilliant Gene and thanks again for sharing these and pass on our best wishes to Michael too.

Tim could have been a good extra in Get Carter too with the 'mod' and late 60's style he has here a bit similar to his cohort Jimmy Nail had in the film.

Thanks again Gene.
