Report of the death of John Griffiths, editor on early Hartnell Who and production assistant on The Mind Of Evil:

Sense talked!

Some say the greatest Who character of all time. Ok, just me.

Apparently he couldn't get his computer to work. That and he's become a "Free Jimmy Clay" campaigner. This probably means nowt to those who don't drop in regularly.....

Looks like renowned golf course designer Pete Dye has died according to Twitter:

With only Emperor Akihito not picked by anyone, he is the sole designated survivor by acclaim. Quite a few uniques mainly restricted to a few teams. Bookie's favourite is Daniel arap Moi appearing on all teams and jokered by 4.
