    Films with entirely dead casts

    So now Tommy Kirk is dead, is that it for SFR? I mean I haven't checked...yet. Edit: Confirmed I'd have thought.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    Finished 8th in the Grand Final with Anytime You Need. You know how plastic bags and bits of loo roll find their way onto trees? It's that one. Terry Wogan made a rather unfortunate reference to a Red Indian in commentary.

    Rumours

    Anybody want to look into rumours that Joan Howard Maurer, actress and author who happened to be Moe Howard's (The Three Stooges) daughter, has died? Might be more on FB than there is on Twitter.

    Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni for Stand And Deliver and Prince Charming. Amazing what you read on the loo.

    Songwriters

    There were so many hitmaking machines back in the day, hard to list them all beyond the Original Post here. Lost interest in the charts in the late 1990s so need to ask some of our younger poppers. No point in making a Wiki page, I'd imagine, given the ravages of admins there at the mo.

    Songwriters

    Off the top of my head: 1970s/80s Lennon McCartney Gary Glitter (with the late Mike Leander) Noddy Holder and Jim Lea Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus Bee Gees (must have done, surely given who else they wrote for) Chris Stein (Blondie) Sting Paul Weller Andy Hill for Bucks Fizz Holly Johnson and other members of Frankie Goes To Hollywood The late George Michael Madonna Stock Aitken and Waterman Phil Collins Haven't even looked at the 1960s - there will be plenty there I'd imagine.

    Jimmy Savile

    Well, that should make him easier to hate..... Steve Coogan - so many comedy roles over the decades - Paul and Pauline Calf, Alan Partridge....erm, that's it. Oft said in my house he's overrated.

    Deadpool Detective Work

    Also, it might be an idea to use the Find A Will site for dates of death for those others not updated if they can be found. Just if you are contacting IMDB....

    Deadpool Detective Work

    Precisely because I saw the Wills thing last year, but could not be absolutely sure - Twitter was alive with folk admiring her longevity until late into 2020! Plus, well, a fresh intake of hopefully uniques!

    Deadpool Detective Work

    Now we know my DDP pick Patricia Driscoll from last year is dead, perhaps here is the date of death under Patricia Lamont - 2 January 2020? https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Wills?surname=lamont&yearOfDeath=2020&advancedSearch=False&IsGrantSearch=True#wills

    Band Aid

    Although not on the Band Aid single, let's enjoy once again that opening of Live Aid with Status Quo in memory of Alan Lancaster who has died: Maybe this could be expanded to Live Aid as well - all part of the deal.
