    British Character Actors

    I have a very vague recollection of the original. But of course, I paid more attention to Tufty, Charlie The Cat, Joe And Petunia (the couple that sat by and watched disasters befall others). And of course Rolf Harris and the benefits of learning to swim. Ah, the memories...

    British Character Actors

    Ian Gardiner, long term character actor probably best known as Mr Brent In Television Club and Mr Carter in Jennings, both from the 1960s, has died: https://www.thestage.co.uk/obituaries--archive/obituaries/obituary-ian-gardiner Interested Forum users should note he was a man on a train in Series 9 of Grange Hill, Howard Drucker in Brookside and a policeman in a 1961 episode of The Avengers - Girl On The Trapeze. But more than that he was Reginald Molehusband, the man who had problems parallel parking in a public information film in the 1960s and remade with Ian Gardiner in the mid-2000s, which gave rise to the term "doing a Reggie".

    Philip Bagenal, a composer and musician who worked on various projects as outlined on IMDB, reported dead: https://gilad.online/news/2021/9/1/in-memory-of-the-great-philip-bagenal Probably of more interest to the Forum is that he had a small role as Peanuts in the film if... yeah, the Malcolm McDowall crazy movie.

    I was tempted to put in "What's her beef?" Expressions of sympathy from Boris apparently, as his lackeys execute the animal. SMH vociferously.

    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2021

    Sweet poetry for non-Wiki choice Sandra Richardson, published Liverpudlian author, as she hits a "by the way she's dead" QO for gcreptile. gcreptile now moves up to third place. But for how long, with the dam about to burst? No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

    The Dead of 2021

    Just listened to Geronimo's owner's rant on the telebox news. With the world on course to burn everyone off the face of it in 50 years, the tragedy of the betrayal of the Afghan people who helped us and the deaths from COVID and let's face it the COVID vaccine, I have little to no sympathy for this woman who had a non-native animal as a vanity project - it's not a priority love.

    UK Singles Chart

    I shall claim kudos. There's a mention in this book that the author learned of the death of among others drummer Hugh Malcom when researching his book (can't give any dates, other than the book was published in 2016): https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GeSoCwAAQBAJ&pg=PR8&lpg=PR8&dq=when+did+rocksteady+drummer+hugh+malcolm+die&source=bl&ots=__fxL-3EgM&sig=ACfU3U3mgPl2Qbxs6Gsu5wwN96SHGrXh8w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjt1rOrx9byAhVVi1wKHVXwDu44FBDoAXoECBgQAw#v=onepage&q=when did rocksteady drummer hugh malcolm die&f=false Probably Mr Bilby would be content for contact about his splendid tome.

    Lee Scratch Perry reportedly dead: https://nationwideradiojm.com/reggae-great-lee-scratch-perry-dies/ Surely he's a DDP Pick. Edit: Apparently not! He definitely has been in the past!

    Derby Dead Pool 2021

    I'm sure I'm not missing something but all those Nobel/Smart teams didn't pick Edmond H Fischer for this year - yes, the oldest (formerly) living Laureate. Picked as long ago as 2011 and on and off thereafter: http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2011/celebs_F.html#fisce Another for the List of the Missed, @msc.

    British Science Fiction Series

    Of note, she registered on Twitter briefly (assuming it is her) under Vera Anna Peters - so her death might be registered under Peters?
