  • As George could not attend "A Spectacular Night for Michael Topping" held at the Two Brewers on 9th November 2017, he beamed a get-well-soon message across the English Channel.

    Thank you, George, for the pleasure you and Patrick have given me. Words cannot express my appreciation. I am a depressive, and you and Dame Hilda are the reason my children still have their father. Thank you.

    Fascinating to see this memorable stage character in "civvies", so to speak. A personal message to which a
    reminder of his talent is added to remind us of just how good he was in his chosen role on stage. RIP.

    Hello George
    Gosh! How wonderful to know you are still alive. The whole family loved watching Hinge & Bracket in the '70's, I loved your doubleact.
    I automatically assumed, because you didn't appear on TV, you must have passed.
    Yesterday, I was was reminded of you on one of these Tic-Tok movies. So I searched for you on RUclips, up you popped. It was such a pleasure to watch Hinge and Bracket again.
    Thank you, George and Patrick Fyffe, for all the comedy and laughter you provided, both of you were just superb.
    I didn't know your other double acts, I will search them out.
    I see you still can sing, keep it up.
    Take good care. I love ❤ you.
    Perry ( London)

    God, these two were so funny. As a child of the 70s/80s, it was just entirely natural to see and laugh merrily at two drag comedians simply performing their brilliant act. I knew, even as a child, that they were men pretending to be women, but it was a wonderfully smooth and warm comedy fantasy world that anyone could inhabit no matter who they were, and really wanted to.
    There was no kind of statement or didactic meta-message that somehow "challenged" an audience of people who were, let's face it, just trying to survive with dignity.
    The vocabulary that pretends to describe this wonderful, innocent - in my case childhood - experience has since been retrofitted in the most ugly way with the most divisive terms by self-appointed lexical retrofitters who are simply incapable of properly appreciating the art and its wonderfully rich and powerful impact on British culture.
    I'm not belittling the real suffering of the performers who endured persecution both privately (every day, casually and sometimes violently) and publicly (even worse). At least I hope I'm not. It's just that, to me, the enlightenment that we enjoy today came from the trailblazing greats like Hinge and Bracket who were extending a long, very long tradition, of course.
    It did not and does not flow from activist, ignorant, hypocritical or disingenuous politically-obsessed exploitative fakes who sought - and seek - to further their pathetic revolutionary agenda by any means necessary, no matter who gets hurt.
    I despise them, I think, as much as I will always love "George and Michael".

    I had the good fortune of going out one weekend in La Dorat (France) where George lives I believe,my partner & I went to the main bar in town and George & his partner had put on a show....it was AMAZING,I had enjoyed watching 'Dear Ladies' on TV as a teenager....it was hilarious!! How strange decades later that I would find myself living 30 mins from La Dorat & coming across my idol 'Dr Evadne Hinge'!!! Even more bizarre that on my 30th Birthday (years before moving to France)....a group of friends 'dragged up' for a dinner party and then caught a taxi to a nightclub (the taxi driver's face was a picture!!).....I was Dr Evadne Hinge!!! Small world....
