Cannot get any of the Dutch sites to translate properly but Kees Rijvers is reportedly dead: https://www.bd.nl/eindhoven/psv-legende-kees-rijvers-op-97-jarige-leeftijd-overleden~ad1f2503/

I’ve only heard of 3 of them. I’ve never watched it in the past, this line up of unknowns (to me) certainly won’t be encouraging me to start watching it.

I know 6/13 Will not be watching

Crispus Attucks died on this day 254 years ago, aged 47. - Attucks was born into slavery. It is believed that he was of African and Native American ancestry- possibly a descendant of a Narragansett tribe member named 'John Attuck'. - Attucks managed to escape to freedom in 1750, and reportedly used the alias "Michael Johnson" to avoid detection. He found work on docks, and also as a whaler. - On the night of March 5, 1770, Attucks and some other sailors went to King Street in Boston after a fight broke out between the townspeople and British soldiers. Attucks was reportedly holding a large stick, and one account stated a soldier was assaulted by a plank of wood- some believe Attucks to have thrown it. The soldiers would open fire on the crowd, wounding six and killing five, including Attucks- in an event now known as the Boston Massacre: Attucks' autopsy states he was shot through his right lung and liver. He, and the four other victims of the altercation, would lay in state at Faneuil Hall, and then be buried together at the Granary Burying Ground:

Eddy Grant is 76.

Why are some people hard to find stats on.. Was watching the old tv classic Night Court and watched an episode of Bob and June Wheeler.. Those two could put you in stitches.. Anyways I was trying to look up who they were and how old they were. It's so unfortunate that many of the cast are passing away including Richard Moll just this past year.. June was played by Annie O' Donnall. But everything I look up can't find much info on her including her age or even if she is still alive for sure. Had the same experience when looking up Bess Meisler. Can't find definitive info on her.

I wonder what the committees obsession with him is? David Attenborough is only five months younger and got got from this year's list.

I'll bring it forward on the thread tomorrow.
