In some ways we should not look at this in too negative a light. The artist in question knows they will die at some point. If they negotiate the sale of the rights whilst they are still alive it means they are in control and can put conditions around it to ensure their most meaningful and profound works won't be used for cheese burger commercials.

Well that is tomorrow's breakfast sorted

We should raise a glass in his honour........oh wait

My next sixth month survivors 1. Bob Dole 2. Leslie Phillips 3. Boris Pahor 4. Bob Parker. 5. Gudrun Ure. 6. Cleo Laine

Oddly enough my first ever trip to the RSC at Stratford was to see Henry V starring Kenneth Branagh and Patricia Routledge

I did look at the rest of the impressive list and it is often unfair to categorise actors by genre. I mean you list Patricia Routledge and link her with Keeping Up Appearances but she has been a member of the RSC and done many things like Hetty Winthrop

Character Actor or Sitcom thread?

Can't see Johnny Briggs really being a miss when the 'smart' money was following June Brown, Eileen Derbyshire and Barbara Knox. Even Leonard Fenton didn't break the Crowdsourced list or the Drop 40.

Johnny Briggs is hit no.19 for me here

Or she could take a leaf out of the Westminster Government's playbook and be filmed hacking Alex Salmond's head off on the steps of Holyrood and still not think it is a resigning matter.

Younger than Terrance Hardiman. And Leslie Phillips is still alive. Vast body of work. Sad loss

How do you know that the courtroom is not haunted by the ghost of Roger Lloyd-Pack

F is for Ferlinghetti

Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a hit for me here. Number 18.

I had this argument with a former colleague about the football discussion s that Sky used to hold daily. This sort of speculation is just filling column inches. Look how many pages we have filled without any substantial evidence.
