Well, odds on Leslie Randall died a while ago - it's in the Other Lives section. Even Twitter can't give me a clue - he might get a Stage Obit, perhaps, which may gives us a date.

time 3,447 Posted September 7, 2020 Rodney Litchfield, with a list of credits going back to the '80s in British comedy, drama & soaps, has died. He's probably best remembered as Tommy, the anti-social regular in Early Doors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While this is up, there is a grant of probate for a Leslie Randall who died in 2020 - date of death 31 March 2020. Might be him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 5,504 Posted September 13, 2020 Tony Osoba (McLaren), Christopher Biggins (Lukewarm), David Jason (Blanco) and Patricia Brake (Ingrid) are the only people credited on more than one episode of Porridge still alive. Steve Ismay (very much an "oh that guy" classic) was in two episodes but was only credited in one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, certainly, that was clear even in the kids TV I was introduced to him on in the 90s like The Demon Headmaster, let alone Porridge and his more dramatic stuff. I remember getting quite interested when they announced he was going to be in Doctor Who a few years ago. Come the episode, he was in one scene, then died! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 8,752 Posted December 15, 2020 It wasn't offensive then, and it shouldn't be now. If it's now OK to say "black", then it should be OK to use foreign words that mean black. Wasn't it also an anthropological term like "Caucasian"? But this is really a discussion for the Snowflake thread. ETA - from the Oxford English Dictionary. A member of a dark-skinned group of peoples originally native to sub-Saharan Africa; a person of black African origin or descent. In early use also applied to other dark-skinned peoples, esp. Moors.
