Jack Rebney, the subject of the documentary 'Winnebago Man', whose profane-laced Winnebago commercials became an underground sensation before finding a new audience on the internet, has died. He was 93.

Great film this, Rebney comes across really well in it (a lot better than his "fans").

Also how could I forget Chaim Topol, Gina Lollobrigida, Al Jaffee, Kenneth McAlpine, Lisa Marie Presley, Ben Ferencz and Paul Cattermole.

The Steve Era here at Deathlist wasn’t terribly memorable. Figured I get that in before his banishment.

Great shame. First Terry Jones, then Palins wife Helen and now Roger Mills, the Palin 'team' is slowly being picked off.

Fierce Creatures. Oh dear, that was one terrible film especially as A Fish Called Wanda is so excellent.

I would actually disagree. The biggest problem with it is that it is not A Fish Called Wanda which everyone seemed to want but they should no enough of Cleese that he would not just do the same thing again.

 

It is a enjoyable ensemble piece and there are some very good lines

One of the last surviving SAS soldiers who stormed the Iranian embassy in London has died.

Mel Parry was part of the SAS team that ended the 1980 siege six days after six armed men took 26 hostages inside the building.
