Time to own up to the fact that you're the sole member of the "DL Committee" and you compile the list every year?

Bernard Cribbins Not being  knighted has to be the biggest injustice in the history of the honours system.

Considering we have Sir Gavin Williamson it is borderline criminal.

In his voice "shut up and go away"

Fun fact. David Tennant named his son Wilfred after Bernard Cribbins.

Nicked this from Twitter.

We'll shortly have all the arseholes  experts moaning and asking why he wasn't on the list. 

 

I understand why he was dropped, but no Tony Dow on the List????

This response is a joke surely?

Purely meant as sarcasm. I obviously don't think a supporting child star from a 50s sitcom should have been on the deathlist. Especially when it wasn't even public knowledge that he was sick.

Tribute from The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway - the locomotive BIg Jim (which featured in The Railway Children) carrying a wreath in Bernard's memory, an honour normally reserved for railway volunteers. https://twitter.com/4JennyAgutter/status/1554439830544781312.

No, not speechless, merely very busy last week and away this week with only occasional access to wifi.

Obviously very sad to lose the man who articulated so many of my thoughts and dreams nearly 50 years ago.

A couple of other people got in at the time with very moving tributes, upon which I would frankly struggle to improve, and given it's a week ago now I think the moment for eulogies has probably passed (rather like Bernard)

Only hope that Mike Batt still has a couple of decades left in him.

Just a random mention that as well as naming their child Wilf. David Tennant and his wife have now got a dog called Bernard.

I fear that is going to be a similar situation to what happened to Howard Attfield in 2007, who was also filming for Doctor Who as Donna's male parental figure before he died.

Following today's trailer that featured every cast member that was seen filming back in the summer but not Cribbins, I'm getting scared that something similar might have happened and they've had to remove him from the episodes next year because they couldn't finish the filming.

I think it's looking quite likely sadly. The press release that accompanied the trailer formally announces the return of Jacqueline King (Sylvia Noble) and Karl Collins (Donna’s husband Shaun) so the omission is glaring.

I suspect even if they only have one usable scene they will use that and write around it.

Director Rachel Talalay on whether or not he's still in it.

Wasn’t mentioned in last night’s Bafta film tribute which has lead to a backlash.
