John McCain, but to be honest I never liked his oven chips.
The 'Out of Towners' with Jack Lemmon was a very funny film. Especially if you know New York.Neil Simon. 91.
Excellent and very talented writer and playwright. The Odd Couple, The Out-of-Towners, Sweet Charity, California Suite, etc.
Blake's 7, late 70's great childhood memories, r.i.p.Another one. :emoji_frowning2:
Bloody Hell! When was Julian Clary in Blake's Seven?Another one. :emoji_frowning2:
I'm not really familiar with her, but being so aware of your situation must be horrendous
Used to listen to her on 5Live, so this one has hit me.I'm not really familiar with her, but being so aware of your situation must be horrendous

RIP.
Such a shame to lose her at such an age.Got to know her as our paths crossed on 5live a couple of years back. When my wife was diagnosed w breast cancer last year, Rachael’s blog was a great inspiration to her and Rachael was just brilliant to both of us on many occasions. Everything that’s being said abt her currently is true she was funny, bright and a joy to be around.
I too used to listen to Rachael Bland (Hodges) on the late show with Richard Bacon and then with Tony Livesey. She was a joy to listen to, came across as a very nice lady. When she was diagnosed with cancer I then took to listening to her podcasts.
A very courageous lady, taken away too early.
And if you get the chance, try and listen to her and Livesey discussing the name 'Randy' Had me in tears yesterday........
Burt Reynolds aged 82.
Not many of the Cannonball Run cast left now.Gutted. Burt was my hero as a kid. Loved the Cannonball and Smokey films.
She was a fine actress and also a good-looking woman:Liz Fraser: Carry On actress dies at 88 - Carry On star Liz Fraser dies at 88
Totally agree Gazolba. I always fancied her when I was younger (even though she was older than me!) I feel like one of my old girlfriends has died. :emoji_frowning2:She was a fine actress and also a good-looking woman:

The bbc write up did amuse me with the ’on his land’ line. If you ever watched his programmes then you’d understand it.
He was some character, I loved watching his programmes. I read a book on him a year ago, he was a poacher turned gamekeeper, used to get into fights,and loved a drink, a proper country bloke. He was a hard man with a reputation,but grew out of it and did well in his later years.The bbc write up did amuse me with the ’on his land’ line.

He was a rough nut who got up to loads of trouble in his youth, but he loved the countryside etc, and ended up filming wildlife around Exmoor. Great character a proper bloke. Shocked me today.I had never, ever heard of him. What programme was he famous for?
Was he famous for any particular programme though? Have watched a few wildlife programmes, but never come across him before. The face doesn't even look familiar.He was a rough nut who got up to loads of trouble in his youth, but he loved the countryside etc, and ended up filming wildlife around Exmoor.

That surprises me as he was well known/popular for years. He did a great documentary a few years ago, he went to Lapland and Mongolia and lived with nomads,reindeer herders, really roughed it. They loved him as he was a toughie and not your typical wildlife presenter. I bought a couple of his books. Check him out he was entertaining !Was he famous for any particular programme though?

He had his own series. Just google Johnny Kingdom wildlife presenter etc, and you'll get it. Worth watching.Ah, the only programme I can see was on ITV and it's not a channel I watch.
Would definitely remember the name at least, because it is so noticeable, but I don't. Never even heard the name mentioned before.
A Year On Exmoor was his last series. Great programmes.Errm....... guess I'm going to have to Google him, cos you still haven't told me what programme.
