2019 Deaths

[Ithoriel]

I remember Judith Kerr's "Mog the Forgetful Cat" series and also "The Tiger Who Came To Tea" with great affection from my days of doing bedtime stories for the kids.

Nothing worse than losing a loved cat.

Lost far too many....But the dogs we've lost have hurt a lot more.

When I read the "Tiger who came to tea" to my daughter it always seemed a bit... sinister? The Tiger ransacks the house looking for food and I was never certain it wasn't going to eat the mother and daughter left in the house.

It was only a few years ago that I discovered Judith Kerr was brought up in the Netherlands in WW2. The Tiger represents the Gestapo! Now I find it a really clever but sinister read.

She always maintained that the tiger was just a tiger.

For music fans of 60s pyschedelia just found out Roky Erickson has passed on The 13th Floor Elevators were class and some of his solo stuff was mighty impressive as well.

Blake's 7 was a great series that I loved to watch. A sad loss but a great legacy.

[Fenton]

Oh no!. Very sad news

I saw him on Pointless Celebs a while ago. He was in a wheelchair, and looked very sick.



I loved Blake's 7! I think it ought to be remade.

[Fenton]

He was meant to be at the UK games expo this weekend but pulled out as the last minute

Sad news indeed

I saw him play Captain Vimes in Guards! Guards! at Wimbledon about 20 years ago.  He was excellent, perfect fit for the character.

Doctor John!

Rutger Hauer!


"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. [laughs] Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like [coughs] tears in rain. Time to die."

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Ohhh 

[Techno]

Saw that in the news headlines. 

Cheers - Phil

[Steve J]

Only 75 as well
