Just caught up with his Who Do You Think You Are? Goes back to his Irish roots and finds...well, I won't spoil it. He looks great for his age and seems the healthiest and most content I've seen him. Good on yer!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I was ahead of my time again. Another of my previous DDP picks has died, this time Mary Ellis, WWII Spitfire pilot who has died aged 101: https://www.islandecho.co.uk/respected-isle-of-wight-aviator-mary-ellis-dies/ Following on from the deaths of Tom Neil and Geoffrey Wellum....

Madness had their first hit in the 70s. Brian and Michael? I'm sure there's loads more - Brotherhood of Man, without looking?

Gawd, this is slow! Anyway, rejected pick for this pool Hilda Hanson has died aged 104: http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/16377178.hilda-hanson-whose-family-had-six-generations-alive-at-the-same-time-has-died-aged-104/ So, no update, but the person who picked her might want to know.

Bobby George reports that Tony Sontag has died aged 62:

The death of Jack C Edwards means that according to IMDB, Grandma's Boy (1922); So This Is Marriage (1924); Excuse Me (1925) and Waking Up The Town (1925) have entirely dead casts. In particular, Excuse Me has suffered its second death of 2018 after Lassie Lou Ahern. This indicates that Don Marion (b. 1917) is the last survivor of Jealous Husbands (1923).

You know, probably safest not to mention her at all, but if you must, how about the Bryan Ferry thread? Seems blindingly obvious to me...

OldWillz has the opposite view of the UK Pointless. He finds it too slow, full of long looks and pauses during the inevitable Xander/Richard joking and doesn't understand why there has to be a round-up of the scores when they are in huge numbers in front of the contestants. "Get on with it, Gawd!" he shouts. Admittedly, he is getting on and perhaps he feels anything that makes the show less slick is stealing the little time he believes he has left.

According to this, Jack C Edwards died 16 July aged 97:

If Trump doesn't rejoin the Climate Change Agreement, you could be going to the beach in Colorado.... Anyway, have a good time.

Sun Obit will do: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6848397/paul-madeley-dead-leeds-united-73-years-old/

Paul Madeley dead on Twitter. Long time DDP pick.

Talking of Frank Windsor (in connection with Dear John of all things), he turned 91 earlier this month. Any recent sightings?

@Handrejka I can find two kid (at the time) actors who appeared in more than 1 episode - Will Bates and Darren Traynor. Frank Windsor was in one episode for example, but regular blokes hard to come by.

I haven't, but I can Imagine....

Here's Peter Blake's 1977 #40 UK hit: Based on this (How Come You're Such A Big Hit With The Girls?):

Fairly reliable source indicates that Terry Windell has died: He's the guy that animated the lightning bolts from the Emperor on Return Of The Jedi. Other credits include Ghostbusters, the two Poltergeist movies and ET: The Extra Terrestrial. Oh and directed some Star Trek episodes for TV. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0934664/

Then truly, all the leaves are Brown....

My Hare's Pool pick is the Sgt Pepper bloke.... Meantime, my only recollection of the actor would have been from Agony, as my late mother used to watch that.

If Cagney and Lacey had a love child:

I can't remember what by-line I used for Sepp Blatter, but I do remember I wasn't entirely happy with it. Knock yourselves out.

Elmarie Wendel, best known for playing Mrs Dubcek in 3rd Rock From The Sun, has died: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/elmarie-wendel-dead-aged-89-12962149 My favourite sitcom of that time. RIP. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0920800/
