The Old Parr’s Head: Big Brother’s Emily Lives On
EMILY Parr is no more. Hopes of a stint on The Bill or of reprising the role of Sam Mitchell in EastEnders now seem beyond the reach of the shamed Big Brother reject. Emily’s is a career in ruins before it began.
But there is hope. There is always hope for an aspiring actress. Today’s back end of a pantomime donkey soon becomes the front end.
And then there is the name: Parr. Anorak wonders if Emily will live on long enough to get over this blip.
Thomas Parr lived for l52 years and 9 months through the reigns of ten monarchs. He was buried in Westminster Abbey by order of King Charles I. The inscription on his small white marble gravestone in the centre of the South Transept reads:
THO: PARR OF YE COUNTY OF SALLOP. BORNE
IN AD: l483. HE LIVED IN YE REIGNES OF TEN
PRINCES VIZ: K.EDW.4. K.ED.5. K.RICH.3.
K.HEN.7. K.HEN.8. K.EDW.6. Q.MA. Q.ELIZ.
K.JA. & K.CHARLES. AGED l52 YEARES.
& WAS BURYED HERE NOVEMB. l5. l635.
Of course, Thomas – Old Parr’s Head – might never have used the world “nigger”. But then again, he also never rubbed up alongside a lapdancer called Charley…
