Sean

He wasn`t exactly a noboby.He had a successful career but not that many people knew who he was before his cancer diaries.Alagiah on the other hand I bet would be recognized by well over 90% of British adults if they saw a picture.

He is much bigger than Steve Hewlett.Hewlett presented the media show on Radio 4 . Alagiah is the presenter of BBC News at 6 broadcast to millions.Different league.Alagiah is perhaps the British equivalent of people like Brian Williams and Anderson Cooper.

I think Goodwin is free but will double check in the morning (1:30 am here in Britain)

It has been really hard following this story.Am glad I didn`t pick her as it would have felt wrong .in December it seemed less certain that she would die.Comas can go either way like Schumacher.Terribly sad but considering her catastrophic injuries and loss it is I suppose a relief she isn`t suffering anymore.

Yeah I have known frail 95 year olds linger.

I reckon it is over a 50% chance sure guy is nearly 95 and in poor health but can't seem as a cert like Zarin or McCain.

Why is Franco Zeffirelli considered a dead cert?I get he is old and has health issues and a set assault allegation but 100%??? does he have lung cancer or something?Besides doesn't he allegedly have dementia so is unlikely to be bothered about the allegation?

The arms look emaciated and she looks very gaunt in the face too.

Still mobile.

June back on Eastenders for the first time in a while.Looks well.

Alagiah not on news at 6.

Bea Arthur I always got the impression from her performances and interviews that she was feisty outspoken and difficult to get on with much like Elaine Stritch and Jerry Lewis.I agree Betty appears too nice to be true.I think the whole aww bless her appeal she has now is because of her age. Even the nastiest old bitches tend to be seen as sweet and innocent when very old.She once said she liked animals better than people which is a hint she isn't as personable as she comes across.Most likely an act but one that has made her last in the business for nearly 80 years.

Am quite shocked by this.She wasn't on my radar at all.

Just watching Silent Witness with friends and the unanimous opinion is that Liz Carr looks far frailer than she did last series.Thoughts?

"If I had a Dick this is when I would tell you to suck it".

Strength determination and discipline only goes so far.

If the cancer has again spread to what is left of his liver or does so in the next few months that prospect looks pretty distant.

I did wonder that given the sudden nature her age and talk of bi polar.

Well he was 25 when Trump was born and that was before he was a married man so who knows

Only rthat they were dangerously fat.Much like James Avery.

He didn't report on that but ironic he reported on two deaths both younger than him. You would never have guessed he is ill.

Such a stylish photo.Brilliantly nostalgic.

Yeah a recurrence of stage 4 colon cancer that previously spread to his liver and lymph nodes.Cost him a lot of his liver due to 8 tumours.As his oncologist said in 2016 "If it comes back it knows the route pretty well"

Alagiah is still presenting tonight's news at 6.Wonder if he can last until 2019.
