He was in lovely form on Andrew Marr this morning. Has definitely lost some of that smouldering attack in his interpretation, but seems to have a new found vulnerability. That is all..

Death Notice for Olive Dunbar who has died aged 91. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/theithacajournal/obituary.aspx?n=Olive-Joann-Dunbar&pid=184244383 I mention her because she played Bertha Bottomly in Big John, Little John which was one of my favourite shows when I were but a nipper.

Steve Clark has died aged 93. http://www.lutontoday.co.uk/news/twinkle-toed-steve-clark-is-dead-1-7832456 I'll post this in the dance thread as well.

Triple twuntage Penguers, well done!

Nothing reinforces the political deficit more than today. May's trip up north to gloat over the win in Copeland and Corbyn's trip up north to gloat over the win in Stoke. All discussion has been yet again about the campaign, the level of victory, blah blah blah. Remember the days when they thanked the people, reminding them of the vote of confidence in the policies of the parties, the possibility of delivering for the people of that constituency? All gone. Your votes are merely fodder for career politicians counting numbers and salaries at Westminster. The media are no better. I recall the days when they focused on the constituency, when you learned something about the area of the country, the demographics, etc etc. Now it's all about the parties and personalities. Kudos I have to say goes to Andrew Neil, last night. Pointing out that Stephen Hancock couldn't even remember the name of his own party's candidate, let alone the name of the hospital in the Stoke constituency was a joy to behold. A journalist who had done his homework on the local issues, really other journalists should aspire to his level of detail.

I reported Ember's death in the Radio 4 thread. If I'd thought there was going to be a prediction result, I'd have hurtled here yesterday. No Bruna? Wow...

Hit for Rotten Ali in the Scavenger Hunt when there's a news confirmation....

Anyone have Claudio Ranieri?

So, I'm busy compiling my 1983 Top Of The Pops Theme Team long list already. Optimistic. Anyway. I've saved a lot of time. A lot. The number of people I've come across who are already dead outweighs all the other years I've done so far - Forrest, Laura Branigan, George Michael, Bowie, half of one hit wonders Central Line, even Kenny Everett and Keith Harris. And I'm only at the beginning of April. Still 2 years hence before I can use this year, although there are a few early topplers I might sneak into my main team next year.

Seijun Suziki's death is a unique and directs Captain Chorizo up the leaderboard, leaving your host hovering above the two non-scoring teams. Early days, early days I keep telling myself....

Well, in that case...

Anyone have Owen Coyle?

Gawd, the BBC are even covering his trip to the Museum of African American History. Admittedly, that's where Trump thinks minority rights belong...in a museum...
