2021 Deaths.

[Orcs]

Aye, very enthusiastic.

Not always the most observant though.

Distinctly remember him commentating on a car that was slowing down, saying something like "He's stopping! Maybe it's an electrical fault?". And we were sat on the sofa saying "Count the wheels, Murray!" (i.e. one was missing . . .).

Not the only sports commentator that has that problem mind.

Yes I can't say I was sorry when he retired from commentating

Murray was a legend - true enthusiasm and love that shone through - he is missed! 

[Techno II]

A great shame. 

Cheers - Phil.

He was a bit good. 

Cheers - Phil.

[Steve J]

And only 66 .

Yaphet Kotto (81) - terrific in both Live & Let Die and Alien.

[Techno II]

That's a great shame. 

Phil.

[Steve J]

He was great in Alien.

Only 51 too

Real shock about Sabine, since the radio news didn't mention an illness, I imagined a terrible prang.

I know her form Top Gear, where she brought a degree of sanity and charm to the gang show.
Clarkson, Hammond and May knew that any laddish cheek would be repaid in full when track time came around.

She was mentioned as a potential host when the original three quit.
With 2 suitable sidekicks that might have worked.

As ever, I feel mix of sadness at the loss, delight to have been entertained by her, and sympathy for her friends and family.

Most likely cancer, as the BBC News article said she was diagnosed with it in 2017 or thereabouts.

Yes, confirmed in another online news source. :-(
