Doubly sad coming so soon after Murray Ball

[Kiwidave]

Yep - both legends. My personal favourite of Clarke's was the Fred Dagg version of "We Three Kings"

[brelly]

Sadly for us Aussies as well.  He and Bryan Dawe presented an insightful but oft times hilarious political satire segment each week on the Australian ABC News website.  These will be much missed for mostly taking the P!$$ out of our politicians regardless of their persuasion.

Powers Booth

His iconic line, "Well, bye" seems an appropriate epitaph. Some really great roles in his career.

And also Geoffery Bayldon, who played 'Catweazle'.

Sadly he never said where the last body was buried did he? Sadly can't get that out of him now :/

[Techno]

Sadly he never said where the last body was buried did he?

No.....He appears to have thought that holding back that information gave him some sort of power...and that that meant he 'won'.
He also believed that the crimes he was convicted of were 'trivial'.

I suspect he didn't know. Saddleworth moor is a bleak and gloomy place.

I loved catweazle as a boy, especially his 'electrickery'.

Combined with as Techno says the thrill of dangling relatives and police around by not saying, I suspect you're right.
