Niki's dead. Lauda? NIKI'S DEAD!

Terrible news. Judith Kerr was one of the greatest kids writers of all time, imo.

I am the bearer of very bad news Judith Kerr, widow of Nigel Kneale and the author of the Tiger Who Came to Tea and When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit has died aged 95 Guardian Obituary

Tonight on ABC, there was a live-action recreation of All In The Family and The Jeffersons, featuring Woody Harrelson as Archie, Jamie Foxx as George Jefferson, Wanda Sykes as Weezie, and Will Ferrell as Tom Willis, among others. It was followed by a short documentary on the impact of these shows on American culture. At the end, Marla Gibbs and Norman Lear made special appearances. They both looked quite good for their advanced ages.

I guess his work isn't "relevant" to most people today, unlike the cultural icon that is Grumpy Cat.

Miss for the DL only in that she's a DL worthy name, but... she was going to stuff a few months ago and still sprightly and chatty! This as surprising as a nearly 96 year old person dying can be.

100% dead now Judith Kerr is gone. Link to follow. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48381415

Author Judith Kerr dies aged 95. RIP. (Mentioned in the Authors thread but getting enough coverage to deserve to be posted in here as well.)

Sad news- take care Willz

He’s feeling fantastic after ending chemo for prostate cancer.

So very sorry to hear that YW. Take it easy.

Will set DI on it later. Can count him on him not to ban the wrong one. Bit Brigadiers in Mawdryn Undead. Right, the forums had a crap Dr Who reference, its officially back to normal now!

I see the expired certificate issue's been resolved, or at least I can access the site through Mozilla Firefox, without having to whitelist the URLs, nor needing to backdate the computer. Thank you, DL website administrator!

Yup.

OldWillz died today of cancer. Pain free at last. I've been running about for months sorting stuff out while he was in the hospital, now he's gone. Kept it quiet because it's been cool to have something else to occupy me. Orphan now.

I take that as ominous - Eugenie was an extended relative but Gabriella is her niece and I believe the Kent's are close. She needs to be considered for next's year list.

They were codeshare flights.

He might have died happier if he hadn't lasted till the end of season 8.

Will Alan Brazil beat them all? Hadn't taken him seriously until I saw the nearby thread He could combust at any second, surely

Shame you died, but at least you had the decency to take care of your wife and three kids by leaving them a great guy.

Wolverhampton.

I can imagine the conversation going something like: Judith: You are an actor? I am sure I have seen one of your films.. Eddie: Les Mis? J: No E: The Danish Girl? J: No E: The Theory of Everything? I won an Oscar for that one J: No. Got it! Jupiter Ascending God that was a crock of shit. Science Fiction should be dark and explore the impact of alien creature on human culture. E: Like Fantastic Beasts and where to Find Them? J: One more comment like that young man and you will be carrying your dopey smile home in a carrier bag.
