Bloody hell. Explains a bit more why they did the journey and why he didn't care about fines. Never met him personally but generally only heard positive things. Two 80's drivers dead of natural causes in a short space of time.

Well, there's a few more alive if you go through the entire cast list. I get what you say about Wikipedia pages only but it makes all look a bit incomplete. I'm biased because of my James Stewart interest but: Rear Window: Rand Harper (1929), Kathryn Grant (1933)

@arghtondid you check this out?

Smiths appear to be surviving solely due to their linkup with the Post Office I would think. That remains quite busy even when the shop itself is deadly quiet.

Obviously you get more for your vaccine in Scotland...

I'd argue Paul Fox is better known than Jill Knight but he's not necessarily a household name. But he is someone I've heard of generally as opposed to, say, Leslie Marr, who I have heard through racing.

Two of them have died.

He is also running a poll to say whether he should leave twitter or not. I think the Hurd rumour is taking it too far myself. -
I predict the grim reaper is going to confound sceptics and be its most powerful yet like a super strong enema in 2024 moreso than recent years equalling or even beating 2020

Gooseberry you killed Murray Walker. You have a lot to answer for. -
Absolutely devastated at this news. I knew Murray well. Very recently he was moved to a care home when he got frailer. Just... Very upset but at least I had the great privilege of having a lot of quality time with him for which I will be thankful.

https://t.co/rGhYmd5EYt Tommy Carpenter not only alive and well but winding up Troy Deeney. Good to see. -
The problem is with her face being blurred out is you say "Who is she?" which is probably what they might have wanted to avoid.

John Mccarthy is still alive isn't he? He certainly wasn't born in 1927. So he and Terry Waite need to be amended.

Looked old but pretty well in the recent Pele film.

Jack Scott also definitely alive. Always good to know for certain people are still with us. From Twitter: @andrearadri I’ve been speaking to an ex LUFC player Jack Scott (92) this week who I think may well be the oldest surviving? Happy to put him in touch with the club if appropriate? -
Lorimer?

Definitely try the Scottish papers. Iain's based in Scotland after all. I also can't decide whether to follow him or not. One if his followers is himself!
