Ten dogs were then shortlisted for the final and people were asked to vote for the pet which stole their hearts the most. Despite his popularity as a performer, he had inhibitions about his height (5ft 2in) and about relationships with women; he didn't lose his virginity until he was 22.

After the memorial service for Peter Cook, Moore said he was surprised by how much love there was for his former partner. Rather than use council-owned buildings as a venue to conduct the count at the referendum earlier this year, Croydon opted to spend public money to hire Trinity School.Moore was a close friend of record producer Chris Gunning and played piano (uncredited) on the 1969 single "Broken Hearted Pirates" which Gunning produced for Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. I believe this is the same tune that Officer Joe Bolton whistled at the beginning of the Three Stooges Show that he hosted in New York in the 60’s (and maybe early 70’s). This Webby award-winning video collection exists to help teachers, librarians, and families spark kid wonder and curiosity.
