    Just seen the retraction: https://twitter.com/DallasFanzine/status/1120528088838881280 That's why Twitter is just another source....and it's never done until an agent or some such confirms!

    Certainly looks like him. Someone else took Chappell this year, dropped him. Now he'll have to wrestle Duncan Norvelle to replace Windsor Davies on my team for next year. Subject always to the survival of my remaining contenders....

    I saw that too @Cat O'Falk. If he makes it, he'll be a regular on my Comedy Theme Team from next year. Not because he looks ill, but because he looks ill and has been on Pointless Celebrities. Kiss of death, that double!

    British Character Actors

    Death Notice for actor and director Philip Grout: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetimes-uk/obituary.aspx?n=phillip-grout&pid=192603974 Best known for the 1961 series Family Solicitor, with appearances in more familiar shows such as Harpers West One, The Rag Trade and Emergency-Ward 10. Seems to have been quite the theatre luvvie, but I don't know enough to stick him in that thread. Looks like he's "graduated" from Denville Hall.
