    Yes, he should be in the British Character Actors thread as well. He's also the father of Toby Jones, another great character actor.

    Freddie Jones was one of this country's finest character actors. Relegating him to this thread kinda does him an injustice. He will always be one of those Ghosts of Motley Hall to me. Although his appearance in Never Too Young To Rock is one of the moments of my formative days! Here's a bit of it...

    He posted an obit from the Guardian, ie a QO for many pools. Nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with posting in the collective thread for the year's deaths. He's not the stupid twat.

    Privately owned or privatley hired? I know 747s were hired by bands ect. and one was hired just to fly Rock Hudson home to die, I think from Air France.

    Just watched the ITV Debate: Britain’s Next Prime Minister. That was just about the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Ever. The single worst thing. Not just politically, I mean out of everything. Jesus riverdancing Christ. Childish arguing, no real scrutiny for either of them, just Johnson doing nothing but being a gibbering arse tumour of a human being and answering questions by making the moronic (and entirely Tory voting or occasional Tory voting, apparently) audience laugh and forget what the question was, and Hunt just generally sounding like a 28 carat shite and failing to provide any detail (particularly about his “10 point plan for Brexit”, which he brought with him but never showed, explained or even touched on the content of it). Best case scenario, aside from both their chauffeur driven Jags crashing head on into each other on the way home, is that Hunt becomes PM and is at best only as shit as Theresa May. But I’m willing to believe that more than 50% of the Tory membership are morons, who’ll naturally vote Johnson because they haven’t the mental capacity for fear of this absolute weapons grade shithouse fisting this already broken country to the gall bladder with his sheer ineptitude. If you haven’t seen it but are planning to catch up on it, make sure you’re in a foul mood already so there’s no fucking comedown. Get on a plane, everyone in the UK. We’re buggered.

    Freddie Jones has died. Didn't last long after retirement - sadly not too common (Either because of illness or the sudden stopping work at such an old age finishes you off.) - going by social media he seemed to have attended a photoshoot recently. A Q/O - https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-freddie-jones-dead-emmerdale-17795712

    Yesterday was Jimmy and Rosalynn's 73rd anniversary. As long as nothing happens to either of them in the next 111 days, or by October 27th of this year, they will surpass George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush as the longest married U.S. presidential couple. https://people.com/politics/jimmy-rosalynn-carter-celebrate-73-years-of-marriage/

    World is so unjust; Ershad, Balbir, Dilip Kumar , Daniel arap Moi, Mugabe, Mubarak, etc. continue to live despite their age and issues and someone has to die at 33.
