I don't see it myself. But then my tastes are weird.

Definitely an Alexander mentioned in the notice. Not described as lovely though.

That's really sad - some of us watched the credits on shows you know. The British ones of course, because you could read them! Not sure about the obit though - Stanley Appel hasn't had one yet. And TOTP was essentially the Beeb's flagship show during his tenure - I'd definitely expected something, given his revamp of that show. Plantin did some great shows, whether he did anything noteworthy beyond that, I don't know.

Dickie Harrell, drummer with The Blue Caps who appeared on Gene Vincent's first three albums and was the last original Blue Cap to leave, reportedly dead aged 82:

Shoehorning this in here. Jim Davidson's coming on to GB News in a minute. Form watchers and fans of the Boris Johnson echo chamber turn over now.

Heard on the grapevine that FB is reporting Marcus Plantin, TV producer/director responsible for many shows from Top Of The Pops, The Generation Game, Blankety Blank, Live From Her Majesty's etc etc has died. Anyone able to confirm?

Gloria Belle (Flickinger), bluegrass vocalist and instrumentalist who played the banjo, bass and mandolin, reportedly died on May 5th: https://thebluegrasssituation.com/read/gloria-belle-a-woman-sideman-who-held-her-own-in-bluegrass/

I'd be surprised after all this time and van Houten's good behaviour if the Courts will not inevitably release her. Isn't that what prison is for - protect the public and encourage reform of character? Yes, what she did was horrific. But in the absence of a death penalty and now Manson's dead, what do they think she's going to do at her age?

Richard Lam is now charged with capital murder, an offence that carries the possibilty of the death sentence under Florida law. It is also reported that the murder of Futral took place on April 14th, though the body was not discovered until May 1st: https://str8upgayporn.com/gay-porn-star-richard-lam-ludvig-murder-theguysite/

Martin Kisner, a lighting director who worked on various shows to which IMDB doesn't do much justice according to the obit, died 23rd April: https://www.stld.org.uk/news.php?itemid=382 Hi-De-Hi, Eastenders, Top Of The Pops, TFI Friday etc etc.

Theodoros Pangalos has reportedly died as predicted: https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1212314/former-foreign-minister-theodoros-pangalos-dies/

It's the circle of life. Appeals court says Leslie van Houten should be paroled: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12143617/Leslie-Van-Houten-convicted-taking-cults-murders-paroled.html Apparently the Governor will have to appeal that decision to reverse his denial of parole. Ohh, it''s in the hands of the courts....

This do for Gershon Edelstein? https://uk.news.yahoo.com/community-mourns-prominent-israeli-rabbi-234847287.html

We all have dementia?

Robin Page, farmer (and friend of King Charles) who was a philanthropist, political candidate and writer famous for presenting One Man And His Dog in the 1990s, reportedly dead aged 80: https://metro.co.uk/2023/05/30/robin-page-dead-one-man-and-his-dog-presenter-dies-aged-80-18870517/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1697164/

One of the most ubiquitous bodybuilders of the 80s and 90s, the American "Mighty" Mike Quinn, (IMDB) reportedly dead:

I don't know, back in my day we were just LGB! The spectrum was much simpler back then....

I think we need to be a little better here. There is no evidence and no complaint by anyone of any behaviour on the part of Schofield which would justify some of the vilest speculation on social media and tikkety tok. Until there is such evidence, I'm not buying anything said in that regard. As for the "brotherly association" again there is no evidence that they were actors in any sort of common scheme - what is this stupid thought? It's like some banana republic where if one member of the family is guilty of something you hang them all. It panders to the worst vigilantes and whips up those who just hate LGBTQ etc etc people in general. What there does seem to be evidence of is the bullying and culture of cover-up to keep their then popular star safe. It's easy for Schofield and folk like Gyles Brandreth to say how This Morning is such a happy ship when they are in receipt of the large paychecks. It's unbelievable that Willoughby was that stupid and as I think has been said her sudden distancing is just brand management. Folk at the top denying all the complaints, all the resignations, all the payoffs and NDAs over what seems to be many years. We all know that goes on in many organisations - I've been in them. I'm no huge fan of Eamonn Holmes either. But don't piss off Dr Ranj. As I said before, This Morning is almost dead - just needs a bit more kicking.

Colonel Edward Gardener, various command positions with the Parachute Regiment who, as a Lieutenant, essentially founded the Parachute Regiment Free Fall Display Team which became known as the Red Devils, reportedly dead:

Peter Thoday has reportedly died: https://www.hortweek.com/peter-thoday/parks-and-gardens/article/1823723 Formerly a senior lecturer in Landscape Management at Bath University, Horticultural Director of the Eden Project and President of the Horticultural Institute. However, we all know him as the co-presenter of The Victorian Kitchen Garden and other similar programmes for the BBC mentioned in the IMDB link above.
