    Has he had a stroke?? Looks like it to me.

    Talk of Pointless Celebrities got me thinking again of Henry Kelly.

     

    Lo and behold it was his birthday yesterday. Came across this interview bearing to be from the end of March: https://www.distinctnostalgia.com/posts/ep-8-going-for-gold-memories-with-80s90s-quiz-show-king-henry-kelly

     

    Still the wobbly voice but sounded pretty strong actually.

    I can deal with Richard during Pointless Celebrities though. Mostly there to brush up on my C/D/E-list celebrities from the UK I've literally never heard of (don't recall anyone B-list on there by a long shot).

    Typical DL Forum as we end up discussing the tallest man on telly in the Munchkins thread! :lol:

     

    Anyhow, Osman is on the list of the things that I will not miss if he disappeared tomorrow. And in today's telly that's becoming a long long list! (See Joe Lycett's dreadful Friday Night show). I find most of them of little talent and therefore of little interest to me.

     

    Of course, I could just be a grumpy old man. :sherlock:

    I need to watch more Pointless Celebrities. I tend to watch the normal Pointless more, because the questions seem harder for some reason. I don't know why.

    I try and avoid Pointless Celebrities now.

     

    I've discovered a disliking for that Richard Osman. Yes, he says he is waving goodbye to Pointless but somehow he still manages to turn up for the celebrity edition. He has become one of those people who seems to think that shows involving punters are beneath him, preferring everything celebrity based. That House of Games is a rancid little show.

     

    Maybe if only celebrities bought his poxy second rate books, he might have second thoughts.

     

    Now I could be wrong, but you never see him without a group of celebrities.

    Warwick Davis' wife, Sammy, who was also an actress herself, has died, aged just 53.

    EDIT She was also the daughter of another dwarf actor, Peter Burroughs.

    Samantha Davis played a Gringotts Goblin in The Deathly Hallows Part 2.

     

    I'm assuming one of those briefly appearing who were counting the money and later didn't survive the dragon's escape from Gringotts.

    They’re dying in order. All eyes on Chubby.

    Chubby recently retired. He had a spell of ill health a couple of years ago which led to him appearing on my TOTP team. Certainly favourite to go next.

    Surely he should have used boxing?

    He's 5 foot 4 (whatever that means). His attacker was 6ft. He could have gone for the nads, granted, but he used a leg sweep which frightened the mugger off.

    Don Bluth is too young (85), has no obvious health issues and is probably not active enough to merit his own thread right now, but goddamn I've been tempted.

    Don Bluth still doing the Fan Expo tours, he has plans for July:

    Couple of charting albums and had a taste - just a smidge - of single chart success in July 1991 reaching #72 on the UK chart with Kinky Love:
