How many of those complaints would be from parents who had no idea what their kids were watching until it had upset them? Surely if it was on Channel 5 no-one would have seen it anyway. I can't remember how old I was when the film came out, but old enough to have left home. I saw it in the cinema and was taken aback by the explicit violence. If it had been a darker style of animation, like the LOTR one, it wouldn't have been so shocking. I don't have any children, but if I had I wouldn't have let them watch that film, not as children anyway. So it's quite possible that these parents hadn't seen it themselves, if their own parents knew it was unsuitable. Hope that makes sense. I may have mentioned this before but I was once witness to a fantastic argument between a couple in a library about whether to borrow this film for their very small son. The U certificate is misleading. I agree it should be a PG due to the occasional scenes of violence which may be unsuitable for young children depending on how sensitive or squeamish they are.It depends on the child though.My friend showed his 5 year old brother the scene in Kill Bill 2 where Uma Thurman rips out Darryl Hannah`s eye and steps on it and he found it utterly hilarious ,whereas when I was the same age I cried when Bambi`s Mum got shot. That's the thing though, we don't see Bambi's mum die, we just hear the shot off-screen. Now I've nothing against gritty realism, but they chose to make WD in a fluffy Bambiesque style of animation, and the way they presented violence and death was inappropriate for that style. And it should never have got a U certificate, that was and still is shamefully misleading. Agreed.With regards to the controversy though surely it is for parents to decide whether Watership Down is appropriate.I find it difficult to believe that parents of any age are not familiar with the film and its contents.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/channel-5-blasted-traumatising-viewers-7638429:Watership down apparently too violent for children.It is violent yes but there is a context to it and surely all parents remember the film from when they were young so could make that call! http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/watership-down-author-richard-adams-plans-to-release-his-first-picture-book-for-five-year-olds-a6941761.html:From a few days ago.He is releasing some unpublished work and the only health problem mention is him being deaf in one ear.Looks fairly well in pictures also.Says he based a lot of the death scenes from his wartime exprience.Kind of makes sense.

I came up with an idea for a new dead pool and I am going to try it out for the rest of the year to see if there is sufficient interest for next year.Pick 50 names you think won`t see 2016 and submit them here or inbox me.If a candidate dies points are awarded by year of birth .For example Kirk Douglas would give you 16 points ,Mel Gibson would give you 56 and Lindsay Lohan would give you 86.The winner is the player with most points come 31st December. Supercentenarians are permitted but points will only be awarded for Validated cases at the time of death.Yes 1899 births will give you 99 points.1900 births will give you sod all.No candidates born after 1996 will be accepted.Entries can be entered throughout the year.You are all allowed a joker.These are the obituaries I will accept: BBC News Sky News CNN Fox News Yahoo Daily Mail Daily Mirror Daily Star The Sun The Guardian The Telegraph The Independent Digital Spy Associated Press The obituary is only valid if the person`s name is mentioned in a title and specifies that they have died. Here`s my entry 1)John Hurt 2)Valerie Harper 3)Clive James 4)Howard Marks 5)Tim Curry 6)Liam Neeson 7)Jimmy Hill 8)Brian Sewell 9)Zsa Zsa Gabor 10)Peter Sallis 11)Muhammad Ali 12)Ian Brady 13)Carol Channing 14)Douglas Slocombe 15)George Alagiyah 16)Joost van der Westhuizen 17)Daisy Berkowitz 18)Leslie Phillips 19)Helen Fawkes 20)Paul Gascoigne 21)Freddie Starr 22)Kirk Douglas 23)Olivia de Havilland 24)Grace Lee Boggs 25)June Brown 26)Holly Woodlawn 27)Martin Crowe 28)Caroline Aherne 29)Dr Kate Granger 30)Liz Smith (actress) 31)Sheila Mercier 32)Dickie Moore 33)Sir Roger Bannister 34)Denis Healey 35)Oliver Sacks 36)Helmut Schmidt 37)Miley Cyrus 38)Justin Bieber 39)Lindsay Lohan 40)Amanda Bynes 41)Glen Campbell 42)Mary Tyler Moore 43)Stephanie Davis 44)Liz Dawn 45)Susannah Mushatt Jones (Joker ) 46)Emma Morano-Martinuzzi 47)Greville Janner 48)Rolf Harris 49)Stuart Hall 50)Chris Denning

I probably shouldn`t let you join as it is late in the day.But seeing as you are at a disadvantage via being so late I will allow you to join.Do become a member though!

Update cominng tonight or Tommorrow!

Sad to hear he has gone.R.I.P Cliff!

Billy Graham

Currently sitting in a bar with a beer and had no sleep as I was doing an essay on philosophy all last night!ISafe to say Habermas is getting picked for one of my pools next year! I am guessing I have failed!Also I got in touch with a girl I used to fancy like hell at School and she is visiting me Saturday!So basically the world seems very strange at the moment!And to top it all off Donald Trump may be the next president of America.Safe to.say the lines of reality and fantasy are very blurred right now for me!

Or Chris Farley and Oliver Read.

Peter like Cliff was more private a celebrity.One of the ones who did their work and then went home at the end of the day.In other words they just stuck to work and wheren`t particularly interested in showbiz or their media personality.Not saying they were reclusive just a bit more reserved than other stars.

So sorry to hear that mate!Thoughts are with you and Mrs B at this time!

not exactly a reliable source.

Did he actually do the voice of himself on The Simpsons though?

He's 74, and he has had ALS since... forever. The problem is that given the stage of his disease, even a minor infection or pneumonia can cause grave problems. I'd say that he has a pretty good chance of dying before the age of 80. Also if he develops any form of cancer or heart problems treatment would be very difficult.

I'm surprised they found a person even older than Sanders to endorse him. Belafonte is one of those people I forget they are still alive, he's the second version of Fats Domino for me. Sounds like lung cancer or COPD.Voice is gravelly and weak.

There are so many iconic names that could well go this year.

I kind of like Dr Z.Yes he is a bit of a w***er at times and rambles on a fair bit but he does come up with some good lines now and then and always ensures some entertainment on these forums.He is a bit like that one member of any group who is deliberately provocative for the sheer hell of it.Those people though do make things more interesting that`s for sure.

November 18th 2016

Here is my revised prediction for the 10 more deaths this year: Zsa Zsa Gabor Bhumibol Adulyadej Leslie Phillips Peter Sallis Mary Tyler Moore Joao Havelange John Noakes Clive James Javier Perez de Cuellar Muhammad Ali
