All I got so far is this apart from the live reporting: https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/npr/100306972/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-champion-of-gender-equality-dies-at-87

CNN announcing she's DEAD.

Mr Big. John Lewis Burnip FB page: https://www.facebook.com/john.l.burnip seems to come from Washington, Tyne and Wear and has emigrated to Australia since 2006 - I've tracked down that he seems to be a resident of Corindi Beach, Coffs Harbour, New South Wales. Peter Crowther now runs a cello shop in Witney, Oxfordshire https://www.petercrowthercellos.org/ based on this: Little on Eddie Carter - still performing with a band called Sunfly.

Apparently the thread here indicates that Jasper Blackall is dead, and by the looks of it, before Helen Yate died:

Roger Carel, voice dub actor for Benny Hill, C3PO in Star Wars, Poirot (that made me chuckle) and Horace Slughorn in Harry Potter and many many others including Asterix and Dogmatix, dead: https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=https://www.leparisien.fr/culture-loisirs/cinema/mort-du-comedien-roger-carel-il-etait-une-voix-18-09-2020-8387133.php&prev=search&pto=aue In English, with apologies to the mods of this thread!

Biden just said on the CNN Town Hall that Bob Dole is "very ill". Inside info or gaffe?

Why don't you pass on over, Vaaaleryyyy? Vaaaleryyy.

Just a reminder that both the Fokkers in the above video are still alive....

Stanley Crouch gets a Mail Obit: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-8741329/Stanley-Crouch-contentious-man-letters-dead-74.html

Max Webster. Interesting article here: So in May 1967, David Myles was already 15, older than Kim Mitchell, so born probably 1951/52 (more likely the latter). Might be of some help.

We The People Band. A different band from the We The People group on Wiki, there's some information here about this Band who appeared on that record: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_Parks I'll leave @Ulitzer95 to do the usual digging and if he needs further eyes on it, he can let us know.

Very unlikely as Tesco himself says he went to Liverpool University in 1972. Been reading up on them, possible Tesco might not even have been born in the UK as his dad was in the RAF and "they travelled around a lot", though he grew up in as Tesco describes it the "shithole" that was Camberley in Surrey. There's quite a bit out there on Nigel Bennett, just not much in the way of bio. Chris Payne similar though less I can find. Edit: Nigel's FB page doesn't give much away, here's his seemingly abandoned Twitter: https://twitter.com/NigelBennettGTR

Merton Parkas. Date of Birth here for Simon Smith: https://www.oldies.com/artist-biography/Mood-Six.html Various sources confirm Neil Hurrell is dead: http://bmodrevivalforums.runboard.com/t11710 and this interview with Mick Talbot from 2009 says he died "a few years ago" https://sexygroovyrhythms.wordpress.com/tag/mods/ so probably some time in the 2000s.

It is...see above.

And in fact if I'd just scrolled right down to the bottom of his FB page, he has a "Born in 1950" as part of his Other Favourites. We've bloody nailed him, and thanks @msc!

Well, this is definitely him on FB: https://en-gb.facebook.com/douglas.henderson.94 We have a DOB if not the year, but 1950 is looking good - although looking at the recent pics he doesn't look 70. Maybe there's more info @Ulitzer95? I'm sure @msc is probably right, but do we have to wait until he's dead to confirm?

Hmm. Would that presume that Henderson was born at home? Our man went to school in Pollok. That would mean lying about his age when he was with The Marmalade! Info definitely suggests he was with The Poets circa 1967-71 and to my knowledge that group only appeared once on TOTP in 1964. Possibly more likely he was born in one of the major maternity hospitals in Glasgow, Rottenrow or Queen Mother? Is there a record of a Douglas Henderson born later around the 1952-54 period? Not exactly an uncommon name, unfortunately.

Marmalade. Dougie Henderson. Found this: So we've got a birthdate of 28 July. Now, if he makes his first TOTP appearance at the age of 17, that's going to have him born sometime in the region of 1953/54, most probably Glasgow as he was from Pollok. Sandy Newman. Found this: So we have a birthdate for Alexander Newman of 1 March. Now he says he was 17 or 18 when he joined the Chris McClure Section: https://blazingminds.co.uk/interview-sandy-newman-marmalade-cardiff/ and I believe he joined that band in or around 1968, so that's going to have him born 1950-52. Charlie Smith. Nada.

Death Notice of Lady Teresa Carter (nee Greengoe) aged 89: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/244288/carter Widow of the Labour Peer Lord Denis Carter, cockney boy made "good" and elevated to the Peerage by Neil Kinnock, later to become Chief Whip in the Lords for the party appointed by Tony Blair. He died way back in 2006.

I for one enjoy your forays on here and look forward to having you back when you are up to it. Thoughts with you and yours....
