This week: Peter Mayer, Prof. Celia Brackenridge; Anthony Bourdain, Teddy Johnson and.... *shag me gently against the wall* Leslie Grantham!

See I thought that too, but I couldn't find anything in a brief search.

You are an absolute star Cat! Maybe we could change the title of thread to Lord Heseltine or Michael Heseltine just so it's easier to find.

Following Grantham's demise, here is the list of actors from the first episode of EastEnders: Anna Wing b. 1914, d. 2013 Wendy Richard b. 1943, d. 2009 Bill Treacher b. 1930 Susan Tully b. 1967 David Scarboro b. 1968, d. 1988 Peter Dean b. 1939 Gillian Taylforth b. 1955 Adam Woodyatt b. 1968 Leslie Grantham b. 1947, d. 2018 Anita Dobson b. 1949 Letitia Dean b. 1967 Gretchen Franklin b. 1911, d. 2005 Leonard Fenton b. 1926 John Altman b. 1952 Sandy Ratcliff b. 1950 Nej Adamson b. 1958 Andrew Johnson b. 1955 Shreela Ghosh b. 1962 Johnnie Clayton b. ????? Harry Fielder b. 1940 Jane Slaughter b.??????

Who is this meant to be? My first thought was Michael Heseltine, but didn't think he ever had a TV show....

Cross-posting news of Leslie Grantham's death here. Appeared as Kiston in the stellar Resurrection Of The Daleks.

Yeah, see the Paul The Octopus thread a couple of days ago..

Congrats msc, I was just a tad optimistic, needed one more from Uruguay...

Two teams thought Grantham would make the start line. They have been disavowed of that. I await a choice of another sub for each....

Enjoy your break, Biblio.

Served with the divorce papers from life....RIP. Iconic character.

I've posted a report of her death on 14 June 2018 in the British Character Actors' thread. RIP.

AA Gill has "the full English" of cancer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38042679

Could have put this in the AA Gill thread but... Report of the death of DDP Pick Yvonne Gilan, AA Gill's mother but an actress in her own right and best known probably as another Fawlty Towers alumnus as Mrs Peignoir in The Wedding Party. She was 86. Other credits include Z Cars and French Fields on TV, and Chariots of Fire and Empire Of The Sun on film. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0317913/

Labour hold Lewisham East: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44486075

If that's acceptable to Spade, I'll add him into the current round-up! Cheers.

Could you quote the paragraph please?

Well, hello, Telegraph Obit: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2018/06/14/paul-boyer-nobel-chemistry-laureate-obituary/ Now, I do know that Jens Skou is name checked in this obituary, but I don't know if it mentions that he has died also. Anyone?

So we are hitting the halfway mark for submission of entries. I have nine players so far and only one has had a substitution required. However, it's early in the month and I have a feeling I'll be returning to certain entrants in due course! Keep them coming!

Frankly, I'd be astonished if Scotland was in the UK by 2030, but if it gets us qualification automatically, that might just be acceptable to our new leader Groaty John (currently 16 and on a temporary zero hours apprenticeship with Starbucks)....

Just squeezing in with Boy George's birthday, 57 today. It's also OldWillz birthday....wonder how he feels sharing it with Trump and O'Dowd....

Just cross-posting here now Georgann Johnson has a Hollywood Reporter Obit: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/georgann-johnson-dead-dr-quinn-medicine-woman-actress-was-91-1120304
