Scottish born actor Tommy Dysart, best known for his role as bent screw Jock Stewart in Prisoner and the Yellow Pages Goggomobile commercial, has passed away. He was 86.
I canât hear a deep voiced Scotsman without being a little creeped out thanks to the Jock Stewart character giving me chills when I was a kid watching Prisoner.

Many people will remember him for the Goggomobil commercial, and the Dons ham and sausages ad later on.

what?
Was that car an actual Goggomobile, and not a nickname given by Tommyâs character in the Yellow Pages commercial?
I stand corrected 
For more than 30 years I always thought that car was a Beetle and wondered why the character didnât call the model by name.
Not the Dart! They always think itâs the Dart

Did they remove the âfurther tributesâ page from the site? All I can find is the main In Memoriam page.

I realise time was a consideration when putting together the main package but youâd think thereâd be some way to include everyone. Perhaps they couldâve broken it up into two segments or had multiple people on screen at the same time. There were some rather big, recognisable names in that additional online version.

Obviously they didnât think they were so recognisable. Roger Cardwell âmusic presenterâ? I mean, yes he hosted country music shows in Adelaide back in the 1960s but he was a newsreader for much of his TV life, at all 3 commercial stations in Adelaide over the years plus a guest presenter stint at ABC.
