I bet he was a prime candidate for the next Death List. I had him on my Draft Shadowlist for next year. One particular thing about him made me like him (I was never a big Alf Garnett fan). When Anthony Hopkins said that the thing he liked about being successful was that he didn't have to play King Lear every night. Warren Mitchell said for me the thing about being successful was that he could play King Lear every night. When Warren did play King Lear it was at the Hackney Empire and the production had Michael Cashman in the company. I am hoping in true East End tradition that he was playing the Earl of Kent.

Pistol Knight 49 Posted November 24, 2015 It only leaves Sally Geeson, aged 65 as the sole survivor from the cast of this 70's comedy. Now she was a stunner when I was a teenager. She is married to William G Stewart of Fifteen to One quiz fame and producer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was until 1986 married to William G Stewart of Fifteen to One quiz fame and producer, who also directed all 65 episodes of Bless This House.

Pistol Knight 49 Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks for the update YoungWills. I omitted the word "was" when mentioning Geesons marriage to Stewart. Blame it on proof reader having the day off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted January 3, 2016 Pamela Cundell has died aged 95 according to this forum. Can't see a mention anywhere else though. http://www.mausoleumclubforum.org.uk/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=11&sid=0f5dbeb375a660c2e981d4e27ce68543 She left £1.25 million in her will including "£5,000 to the Concert Artistes Association – she was a former president – to have ‘a jolly lunch with good wine’ on the anniversary of her death for the next two years." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3382240/Dad-s-Army-star-left-1-million-including-5-000-friends-jolly-lunches.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,026 Posted January 9, 2016 Aside: has anyone noticed recently just how bad the BBC are at reporting the deaths of their own stars/presenters? Gerald Sim, Pamela Cundell and now Tom Coyne all without so much as a mention. Yet they will repeat the shows and have talking heads talking about the days of yore....never really noticed until I started on here. To be fair it is not just the BBC. Jeffrey Segal is missing everywhere. Jeffrey Segal's death (undated) mentioned in the Summer Edition of Equity Magazine (this may have been mentioned before) but I have a link to it now: https://www.equity.org.uk/documents/equity-magazine-summer-2015/ Page 16, In Memoriam.

YoungWillz 21,026 Posted January 20, 2016 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. Dead is where she'll be: https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2016/sheila-sim-widow-of-richard-attenborough-dies-at-93/ Sheila Sim dead at 93 - sure she's DDP fodder too. Check your deadpools too.

Guest Guested Posted January 23, 2016 Surprised how well Patricia Routledge looks in the trailer for the Channel 4 programme on Beatrix Potter. Having been out of the limelight for several years and now being in her late 80s I would have expected her to look frailer. Also clearly still has her marbles.
