Billy and Pam, all dressed up for a Downing Street date ...
THEIR bizarre hairstyles and clothing often raised as many laughs as their material.
But comic couple Billy Connolly and Pamela Stephenson were looking rather more presentable yesterday as they prepared to meet Theresa May at Downing Street.
Connolly, 74, and his wife, 67, linked arms outside Number 10 before attending a reception to mark 200 years since the discovery of Parkinson’s disease. Mr Connolly was diagnosed with the condition in 2013.
The Glaswegian met with Mrs May despite having can- vassed for Labour in the past. His wife has been even closer to the seat of power – she stood for the I Want to Drop a Blancmange Down Terry Wogan’s Y-Fronts Party in the 1987 general election, coming sixth in what is now the Prime Minister’s constituency of Maidenhead.
Yesterday’s event commemorated the work of doctor James Parkinson, who first described the Shaking Palsy, later renamed Parkinson’s disease. The condition affects around 120,000 Britons.
