I'm torn between Richard Stilgoe and Ayatollah Khomeini.
Any further thoughts?

Derek Hales.
Micky Droy.
I must say I had thought Gid was busy presenting. Is this time the equivalent of 1-5am with Chris the Chris, and Gid is really a) asleep or b) down the pub?
I'll see your Richard Stilgoe and I'll raise you a Roger "The Master" Delgado!

Bill Frindall (appropriate for any decade)
it's called multi-platform broadcasting. Muiltitasking if you will
Better go...
"Yoffy", presenter of Fingerbobs, must be somewhere in the top 50.
I love Xmas. It's all about lists, innit?

Phil Collins circa 1977 briefly boasted something along Rasputin lines. The beard that is, not the claims to cure haemophilia.

Cut Throat Jake. The Brian Blessed of the cartoon pirate world.
Here's Phil Collins doing an 'Ahoy Sailor' sort of pose.
yoffy gets extra points for the tricky beard and bald head combination.
it's called multi-platform broadcasting. Multitasking if you willΒ
so either Gid's down the pub and he's got a Bilberry or he is dreaming about beards onto a "Dream-O-Modem" which is taking the most sensible images and turning them into posts. Makes 3270 look like a number!
I just got up again to mention the fakir of face fuzz (or was it real?).
Talk about the "Regina's plane disturbs his wispy beard" award City, Arizona!
I give you Ali Bongo!
A trick also exhibited with aplomb by "Keith" from Nuts in May.
yoffy gets more points for being on that programme of Gid's. (googles fingerbobs for second time that day) I don't know about the "know your postman" government guidelines, but we are talking about Rick Jones!
I propose we get together a shortlst of 70s beards and then have a vote-off for the winner. I'll sort out a trophy. Most probably a tankard.
Mick Fleetwood on the sleeve of Rumours. Or is Buckingham's better?
Levon Helm's on The Last Waltz?
Fyfe Robertson? Does anyone remember the opening credits to his tv series in the 70s which for some reason included a shot of him topless?
Think I need some more sleep.
YOU need more sleep Gid?
Obviously there is also Noel Edmonds.
And the beardy one out of Abba (Benny, though buddy Bjorn is beardy also nowadays).
Reggie Perrin in a fake beard as "Martin Wellbourne" remarried to his own wife and being as unlike Reggie as he can:
And David Bellamy: (the one that isn't really Lenny Henry)
captain beefheart's wee goatee was kind of cute.
tom waits was partial to a bit of facial hair in the early 70s - i cite closing time. just a five o'clock shadow by blue valentine.
more sleep would be mighty.

A bit like Greg Lake I believed in Father Christmas until December 1974, glorious beard and he bought presents, no contest.

And then you woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn and you saw him in fool's disguise?
Why do I know that line by heart? In fact, why do I know every line in that song by heart?
Greg is a 'Lake' like myself (whisper it but Mick Shrimtpon's not my real name) but I don't believe the connection goes any deeper.

That's ok I'm quite transparent on the fact that Peskyrattigan is not my real name either.

Tottenham's Ricky Villa, classic 1970's heavy haircut/beard combo. Way behind it's time.

Robert Wyatt - he still looks as though he's got something alive in it.
Of course, the irony that was ZZ "we've got beards...except him" Top (where the only one of the three named Beard was the only one who had none) was not to arrive until the 1980s.
As for sleeping, surely this is the reason why the boards close down from midnight to 9, and not because Peta doesn't find the Hawk a hoot!
Am I allowed to say on this thread that I met Ali Bongo a few years ago. He didn't have a beard and was wearing a suit, but he was still doing magic.
Actually according to google even in his heyday he only had a moustache, albeit a fairly glorious one.
