Where do we go now? The King of Kings, the Shadow of Immortality has left us. A king has his reign, then he dies. That's how things go. But after the death of a king, a new one should be sworn in. Who will it be? The decrepit Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, fellow Indian immortal SAS Geelani, obese ogre-looking composer Mikis Theodorakis? sorry for them, they'll have to wait. As the new king is none other than.... VMAR Ri Yong-Mu! Ok, now you can drop that gun, Kim. Come on, did you really believe this guy has the stuff to be the king? Not in a million year. So let's introduce our real king... King Bob I! King Bob survived everything during the last ten years, he practically lives at Walter Reed and is giving stage IV lung cancer a very hard time. Long Live the King!

Dilip Kumar (1922-2021) You're dead, Dilip (Sam Wheat to Dilip after his passing) Hail to the King! (Dilip to Saira Banu after being discharged for the 5000th time in a year) This thing won't die! (EVERYONE on Dilip Kumar) Age at death: 98 Known health issues: On his identity card Dilip had "death dodger" reported as occupation. He had been a Nosferatur for at least 10 years before his actual death. In 2017 it was a continuous hospitalization. But he would always always come back. Cause of death: metastatic prostate cancer, kidney and respiratory failure. But he was improving a day before his death. Alignment: The greatest Bollywood actor ever, probably almost all his movies suck. To us he was the Lord of Darkness, Image of the Greatest Power of the World or simply that Immortal indian Geezer. We'll miss you Dilip.

Paul Mariner from England's 1982 squad dead at 68 according to multiple Twitter sources including former team mate Gordon Hill.

Omar Sharif, the Egyptian-born film actor, best known for his performances in two great epics, "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivago", died in a Cairo hospital on this date in 2015. Death was attributed to a heart attack. He was 83 years old. Sharif also appeared in the films "Mayerling", "Funny Girl", "Juggernaut" or "The Night of the Generals". He won a Golden Globe for his role in "Lawrence of Arabia". It was his first English-language performance after appearing in over 20 Egyptian films. Even in his final years, Sharif never forgot how his mother smacked his backside with a slipper every day until he was 14. Omar Sharif was buried at the El Shafie cemetery in Cairo.

Jonathan Coleman dead.

Nowt to do with the performers on this thread but where else would I post a picture of a run-down business I walked past today?

IMDB surprisingly light on Mike Amatt who has died: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/15552373/ex-bbc-presenter-mike-amatt-mop-and-smiff-dead/ Composer and actor who did the music for some of Jossy's Giants and also Forget Me Not Farm, which he also appeared in, he was also the creator of and performed in the kids' cartoon series Mop And Smiff - which characters were voiced by deadpooling favourites Timothy West and Prunella Scales! The report says he was in Playschool, but that might have been a lot later than my time, as I have no recollection of him.

RIP Paul Mariner, legendary player for Arsenal and England. Also, my grandfather supervised his birth, as his local GP in the Bolton area in the 1950s.

Still looked great, I thought he'd be one of those Indians who live to 105+.

Frank Lui dead.

Interesting it doesn't mention a replacement. Surely it's going to be Kate? Only a matter of time.

I'm far too young to remember the Onedin Line first time round but saw a re-run on one of the forerunners to the Drama channel when my parents were rewatching it as I was growing up. I was quite taken by Anne and lost interest after she died in childbirth.
