She answered the intercom and believed the voice to be that of Lord Lucan, but he was so agitated that she refused to answer the door. Bloodstains, which were found to be a mixture of blood groups A and B, were found on the doorstep the following day by police (Lady Lucan’s blood group was A and Sandra Rivett’s B. Ten minutes later Madeleine Florman received a telephone call from Lucan, but after a few incoherent words he put the phone down.

Michael Meacham, actor and former artistic director at The Citizens Theatre and Leicester's Haymarket Theatre, died on April 25 in France, aged 83. https://www.thestage.co.uk/features/obituaries/2015/obituary-michael-meacham/ I'm too young to remember him in anything except Get Some In!, in which he played Group Captain Chato. Accordingly he would have been one of my picks for next year. Sad loss, seems to have been an illustrious career. Medical: https://youtu.be/zGVlRqMB0-k

One we missed.
