When I used to watch The Really Wild Show with the kids back in the day I always imagined Terry Nutkins as a cuddly little squirrel. What i felt about Michaela Strachan I had better keep to myself.

Yeah - for some reason Terry's death bubbled to the top of the internet.

It isn't an unusual year- there are just a couple of reasons.

1) There are more famous people - more TV, more films, more musicians, more celebrity in general.

2) we are the first internet generation and deaths get shared quicker, with more grief.  All the people we grew up with are now getting old - some almost as old as Techno.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Not sure if we need to know what part of yourself you were 'feeling' in the the privacy of your own room
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Christopher Hogwood has died too. Another great English musician lost to us.

Googled him and still have no real idea who he is but it is suggested he died on 24 September 2014, so my belated condolences.
