Re: Whatever Happened To?
"Court appearances
Dee had several court appearances and in 1974 served 28 days in Pentonville Prison for non-payment of rates on his former Chelsea home. Every time he left his cell the prisoners on his wing shouted, "It's Siiiiiimon Dee!" He was so shocked by prison that he swore he would never get into debt again. On another occasion he was jailed for vandalising a lavatory seat with Petula Clark's face painted on it, which he thought was disrespectful to her. The magistrate who sentenced him was Bill Cotton."

Re: Whatever Happened To?
He died a few years ago. Hugely popular in the sixties, he thought he was worth more than the BBC was offering, and so went to ITV, which proved to be a big mistake. With arguments over content and scheduling, they let him go within a matter of months, and he ended up on local radio.
