    Does anyone know notable deaths between 1994-1997 that isn't Princess Diana? I'm trying to think but all I can recall is Princess Diana's funeral in 97.

     

    I also remember being taken to London to see the flowers and to sign memorial book at Windsor Castle. I was 8.

    Labour leader John Smith in 94 and actor Jeremy Brett in 95.

    James Hayter, not that I knew his name. I just remember my mum telling me that the man who voiced the Mr Kipling adverts had died. (March 83)

     

    The first I remember seeing on the news was Violet Carson's who I initially thought was my great gran as she looked just like the pictures I had seen of her. (December 83)

     

    The first where I knew the name and what they were famous for was John Comer. (Feb 84)

     

    First obit I remember reading was Doreen Sloane's (April 90)

     

    I was born in the latter half of 1976 for context.

     

    I am aware these names will mean nothing to non UK people.

    Her Twitter account is still active.

    Whether it is her that posts on it?

    The last pics I saw of her, she looked bloody superb for her mature years.

    I also remember seeing some fairly recent pictures somewhere and thinking she looked good. I hope she is around for a while yet as I do like her, but it did make me wonder.

    Our Flag Means Death comes to BBC2 from tonight.

     

    Very funny but might be a bit 'woke' for those that don't like that sort of thing

    The trailers looked good, I might give it a go. The TV highlight for me this year has beenn The English which had an unpromising first episode but which turned out to be brilliant, not for the faint hearted though.

    For the benefit of pool runners @Death Impends and @gcreptile

     

     

     

    The Peter Christian actor in my Gooseberry team  is the 75 year old Liverpool actor who played Frank Rogers in Brookside  and not another actor called Peter Christian.

    In the initial information I submitted I wrongly described  Gary Tobian as a swimmer not diver in my Apricot Crumble team.

     

    Cheers!

    I was considering a Brookside theme team this year, but went with Crown Court for my TV show of yesteryear. Is Peter ill or is it just a punt?

    I think you’ve entirely missed @TQR’s point…

     

    He wasn’t asking you for the first sentence description of who they are from their Wikipedia. 

     

    These are not household names… anywhere.

     I have not missed anyone's point. I do credit TQR with enough nouce to Google someone he hasn't heard of. I know very well what he was implying. I also didn't need to go to Wiki to find descriptions as to me Craig and Jeavons are legit famous.
