Sylvia Plath's son? He was Ted Hughes' son too of course. I almost forgot that.

It was an odd episode all round I thought. Have Tony Hawkes and Paul Merton fallen out, they seems oddly snappy with each other. I know that's part of the game but it didn't seem like it was good humoured the way in normally does.

She was also in The Smashing Bird I used to know with the recently deceased Sheila Steafel.

I was living in Germany at the time working as a teacher. As it was near the start of a new school year one of the teachers was having a get together at hers . I went to hers to help out and was greeted by 'I've just heard some shocking news' My first though was that she had some terrible gossip about one of the teachers, my next though was that Bush had been assassinated. I couldn't really process the news when she turned the television on. The get together went ahead and, as awful as this sounds, we enjoyed ourselves and although we discussed the events and how terrible they were they were not the only thing we talked about. I don't think we really realised how awful the whole thing was until the next few days.

Gulpilil will obit on the strength of Walkabout alone I'll wager. I'll admit I've never heard of Palau.

Yes it is a bit.

Last night I dreamt that one of the Barbi Twins had died, think it was Sia, and that Barry Cryer also died and there was uproar because the BBC news lead with Sia's death over Barry's. On the news story of Barry's death they showed a bit of a show thought to be lost which was a bit like Punchlines but for obituaries. I also dreamt that when I got to work someone had shat on my computer.

Does Simon Groom still have his farm in Derbyshire? He missed the 60th anniversary of Blue Peter last year prompting speculation about his health.

That's sad news. The Poseidon Adventure is another of favourites. She was also in this which inspired a Carpenters song and I have to confess that was the first thing I thought of. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0617035/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_71

I think @Toast and @Lord Fellatio Nelson have answered that. Richard Bradford was bloody gorgeous in his younger days and it gives me something nice to look at while I'm bored/infuriated at work.

Confused was my reaction too Toast. This is image on the mug. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=BDEEA063547429B11689BCF9FDBFD40BAE8730E2&thid=OIP.DI-mLDSzyPEUyoUV33K6twHaJA&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F236x%2F83%2F08%2F23%2F830823292cac179c2db93b1c8315fe4b.jpg&exph=248&expw=204&q=Richard+Bradford+Man+in+a+Suitcase&selectedindex=7&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,2,6

Changed mine again, this time to the late Richard Bradford. I have a similar image of him on my work mug and two colleagues, independently , have asked me if it was Donald Trump on there. I can't see any resemblance at all. What do you reckon?

Well pointless Celebrities has started again so my research extends to 'hmm how is Melvyn Hayes looking?' Edit - Actually he's not looking too bad.
