Grim Up North 3,565 Posted February 16, 2017 Pretty sure Simon MacCorkingdale and Gareth Hunt both died the same week their final TV appearances aired. Tommy Cooper certainly did Dustin Gee also was on TV in the week of his death. However I only really mention this because the link to Tommy Cooper is that the night Tommy Cooper died it was Les Dennis and Dustin Gee (as the next billed act) who had to come on and perform in front of the curtain whilst people tried unsuccessfully to revive Cooper behind the curtain.

Death Impends 7,361 Posted August 3, 2017 A game changer barrage, this week! And it didn't even go through Sunny Hundal. Well done to Spade. Will still be interesting to see if he gets the more proper obit in due course. If he doesn't, it is perhaps fitting that Spade sneaks in a hit under one of the last loopholes of sorts the DDP still has, all those years after Millwall. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,211 Posted August 3, 2017 That is an obit??? Still no year of birth... Edit: Though I realize now that the rules say that the death announcements count. Hmm, that's almost like that Michel Delpech "obit" in the Guardian last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted September 23, 2017 Rick Shaw, (born Jim Hummel), credited with introducing South Florida to the Beatles, died Friday morning at 78. It was a Saturday afternoon in 1964. He played "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and about a minute into the song the phones at the WQAM 560AM studio just wouldn't stop ringing. He would play that song for decades. He retired in 2007.
