Deaths in 2022

[T13A]

Hi

Peter Bowles mostly known for 'To the Manor Born'.

I remember him well from 'The Irish RM' on Channel 4 many years ago



Paul

[Steve J]

Just saw the news of his passing .

[Gwydion]

I remember him popping up repeatedly as different villains in The Avengers in the 60s.
Shame.
 

[FierceKitty]

William Hurt.

[Steve J]

Only in his early '70's too .

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Taylor Hawkins, drummer with Foo Fighters!
Seriously young at 50. 

[sunjester]

That's a real shame, and very young indeed!

[fred.]

Taylor Hawkins, drummer with Foo Fighters!
Seriously young at 50. 

This really was a shock to see first thing this morning. 

[Westmarcher]

One of life's characters.

[Btw, the term "foo fighter" was used by Allied aircraft pilots during World War II to describe various UFOs or mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies over both the European and Pacific theatres of operations.]

[Leon]

This one was a real surprise on Sat morning.  We're big FF fans here and had been to see them on their last tour, such a sad loss.  Judging by some of the early reports, it looks like his previous issues have caught up with him which is a real shame.

[Raider4]

Dennis Waterman (74), star of The Sweeney, Minder and New Tricks.

[Heedless Horseman]

For its time The Sweeney was class TV. Both actors a regretted loss. Got the set... must rewatch... yet again! Carter and Regan...

[Sean Clark]

The Sweeney plus the two films are on Amazon Prime. Only started rewatching last week. Iconic show, that broke the mould of Dixon of Dock Green and Z Cars.

[Elliesdad]

I suspect many of todays yoof will be more aware of "write da feem toon, sing da feem toon".

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Surprised that no-one had noticed Van Gelis died on Thursday.

[Steve J]

I did see that and had meant to post it here, but then got sidetracked .

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Happens. I meant to put it up yesterday
