Ian Smith from Neighbours

[Spade_Cooley 9,569]

Peter Falk has lung cancer

[Sly Ronnie 893]

Well at least it guarantees one DeathList hit next year, if they pick him.

[Sean 6,341]

Dead cert for Drop 40.

[Vinegar Tits 607]

Deffo going on my list. Good of him to tell us at this time of the year and not the second week of January.

 

He'll always be Ted Douglas from "the Department" to me.

[Arsewipe 202]

Not famous enough for the main list? Bill Gate's dad was....

[Phantom 2,539]

He'd definitely get a UK obit.

The character of Harold Bishop was a fan favourite.

He is easily famous enough.

Even I have heard of Harold Bishop, and I've never watched a single episode of Neighbours.

[drunkasaskunk 195]

He was also in Prisoner: Cell Block H  ( I think he directed or produced some of them too)

So should go on the list for next year then.

And he wouldn’t be the first Neighbours star to make an appearance as Anne Haddy was on the 1998 list (Presumably based on the fact her ill health was well known and her Characters on screen death had aired in Australia in 1997 but wasn’t aired in the UK until April 1998.

He is also filming a documentary about Assisted Dying but doesn’t intend to undergo one himself (It’s legal in Victoria in Australia.). There is a hope he will live for years with so maybe not a 100% certainty for death in 2025 but still a likely hit.
