Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted February 19, 2014 Patricia Routledge is 85 today. so? So you're a useless cunt I know I am. But whats the significance of Patricia Routledge turning 85? Does it mean she's about to die? if not why mention it? It is always useful to remind people how old the potential picks are, and what better way than by marking their birthdays. As posts go I thought it was fairly harmless but it seems to have annoyed you. Be as one with the world. Are you posting from a Chinese opium den? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted February 21, 2014 Ken 'orrible Ives' Jones has left us, and I'll say thanks for a unique pick on DDP http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/porridge-actor-ken-jones-dead-3145578 (DDP) Governor: Pity he didn't die a bit earlier, he would have been a hit for that Porridge theme team. Fletcher: Yeah, he would be well choked about that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Galento 24 Posted July 31, 2014 was Nicholas Smith Mr. Rumbold and as for Mike Berry, i thought he was a singer with the Outlaws. Hardly in the category of Messrs. Inman, Thornton, Bannister and mesdames Sugden and Richards. Are those nubiles who accompanied young Mr. Grace still around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted August 1, 2014 Kenny Ireland, who played swinger Donald in Benidorm and Derek in Acorn Antiques, dies from cancer aged 68 This show is like the fucking Pretenders of sitcoms, isn't that the fourth cast member dead now? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Off the top of my head Geoffrey Hutchinson, Kate O'Mara and Wendy Richard - although the latter two were guest characters..

Handrejka 1,904 Posted November 12, 2014 Just doing a mid-year cull for the DDP next year, and one of those dropped is Ronald Forfar, Freddy Boswell in Bread. Only 74, but that meant he was early 50's when he was in Bread, and he looked near 70 then. Doesn't appear to have done much for aeons, but no health news means he's too much of a risk to pick. He's resurfaced in Rochester, still rather odd looking but looks ok for his age. http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/bread-tv-star-ronald-forfar-23734/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted December 19, 2014 Heard from a pretty reliable source that Gerald Sim, occasionally discussed in this thread, died last Sunday and the funeral was yesterday. I'm not sure if the family have requested no press coverage or if his star had fell that far that nobody could be bothered to knock up 250 words for the BBC online, but I'm pretty sure you can cross him off 2015.

If true, could be to get the family mourning out of the way for Sheila Sim's sake before the press announce it? With her health, and losing her husband and brother in 3 months, I doubt she'll be about in twelve months time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
