With all this attention on Light Entertainment celebrities I think they should look at Roger de Corcey - He always had nookie in his dressing room!

Anne Jones is 74 today

She comes across as a lesbian am I the only one that gets that vibe . Not that there is anything wrong with lesbians . Just wondering when she said she was groped was it by a girl ? She is a lesbian and an acknowledged one but it is not her big thing.

I had no idea that Mark Thatcher had been knighted. He has this title as the 2nd Baronet because his parents were given hereditary peerages. He has been Sir Mark since Dennis died.

Jimmy Saville's Motor-home? Sorry

Still not dead When I first saw this picture I wondered why Chris Patten was holding her up?

I am feeling bad about all the comments on this site about Sandi Toksvig. So i am going to say nice things about her. She is very very funny and although she can come across as smug, this is in the same sense as Stephen Fry who slightly sends up their own pomposity. If any one is in doubt of her comic talents they should watch The Big One (C4 romantic sit com with Mike McShane) which she co-wrote and starred in. The perfect demonstration that not just beautiful people can fall in love. It is criminal that this has never been released on DVD. I can't even find it on Youtube. So a big hearty cheer for everyone's favourite Danish Comedienne.

Elmore Leonard is 87 today.

Assassinating Roger Federer doesn't seem to be a very good threat. He always comes across quite well and difficult to dislike in contrast to some other tennis players I will not mention. But they are hoping it is only an oral threat! Plus he's Swiss, they generally don't do much to merit being assassinated He's a tennis player, and a pretty high-profile one; if you're going to exterminate tennis, its as good a place to start as any. I think there are other sports I would rather exterminate than tennis. American Football - just don't get it!

Another for the Babylon5 cast deaths......... maybe they should have a thread of their own? I might try and do this when I get time unless of course they all die first You predicting a plane crash or summat? No just that a lots of them seem to die relatively young, Stephen Briggs, Michael O' Hare, Jeff Conaway & Andreas Katsulas which if you compared them to the cast of Star Trek most of those lasted until they were quite old. Also, as my wife will surely testify, there can be long gap of time between me saying I will do something and it actually getting done! I would not wish anything bad to happen to the lovely Claudia Christiansen

Another lap completed Murray Walker 89 today.

A couple of years ago I saw Richard Wilson play Malvolio at the RSC. For someone who is well over 70 he was remarkably sprightly and cavorted around the stage, so unless there is some medical suggestion of an underlying problem I would not take any bets on him for 2013. He's showing no signs of slowing down, I'd wager he'll be around for a while yet However I think his character of Gaius in Merlin will be dead before the end of November - This is a guess not a spoiler!

Very sad - my daughter loved these growing up. So much that her copy of Mog's Box (oh for heaven's sake) had to be stapled together several times from over reading

Happy Birthday Donald 89 today!!

Things Jimmy Saville never said! "This is the age.......of consent"

couldnt possibly comment.could have done an act with an agressive blue bird though.alledgedely Rod Hull is conveniently dead. So that leaves the police with the challenging problem of arresting the one surviving participant - Emu - and charging him with either assisting a rape or - at least - withholding evidence. He's excitable; they'd better send a mini bus load of their toughest guys. At least the suspicion has shifted from Rod Hull. We now know that there was nothing sinister about his invitation to children to visit his pink windmill.

Abu Hamza - Cynical ploy to avoid extradition or possibility for 2013?

The Angels Take Manhatten - last episode of Doctor Who (until Christmas) - Brilliant. Tears all round. I hope this is the only mention Steven Moffatt gets on this website.

Does your father in law have any DVDs of Margaret Thatcher he could lend your daughter by any chance? I hope it doesn't work like that otherwise David Jason and Lynda Baron should be scared. Good grief! Whatever happened to Lynda Baron? She is alive and well and appeared in the 2011 episode of Doctor Who Closing Time. It would be a very long shot to consider her for any Deathlist.

Depends on why he has been given it. My father had one fitted over 10 years ago and he is now 83 and still going.

Happy Birthday Jimmy. 88 Today. My thoughts are that Jimmy will still not be the next former president to pass away.

This is a bit scary as quite a few of the cast of this show have died relatively young. We have just started watching it through. Very Sad.
