Canadian Paul 97 Posted November 20, 2007 John Straffen Britain's longest serving prisoner has died at the age of 77 Here's a BBC obit for John Straffen. He was on my CPDP "Only One Way Out Of Here" theme team. Well done, I'll get to updating the site soon. Meanwhile, some idiot missed a good pick for his theme team. Don Metz, a Canadian hockey player of 80, has skated off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted November 22, 2007 Apologies if this has already been posted (but I couldn't see or find it if it has), but Frank Cox, one half of the Cox Twins - who, if I'm being polite "were stalwarts of variety" but in truth, rather annoyingly sh*t, has died. The twins were last on TV in 2006 in "The History of Light Entertainment". I must admit, they didn't look 85 at the time - about 10-15 years younger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 605 Posted November 23, 2007 There's a rumour that Verity Lambert is dead. No more details yet though. It has been confirmed by the editor of DWM on Outpost Gallifrey though nothing on the BBC website as yet. Very sad news though, and on the 44th anniversary of the first Doctor Who broadcast as well. A true pioneer in television, she'll be much missed. RIP Verity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A true pioneer in television, she'll be much missed. RIP Verity And she died without getting that Damehood she so deserved. I have to say, she was on a programme about Children's TV a few months ago and she looked old and her hair was short and grey with curls. That's very sad. There's not many Doctor Who producers left: Derrick Sherwin, Barry Letts & Philip Hinchcliffe from the old series.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted November 23, 2007 The man who signed my college diploma had two mentors, one of whom I picked for my CPDP. Naturally of course, the other one died. Reg Park, 79, skin cancer. Oh bollocky, bollocky, bollocks. Still, at least he might not have been a unique pick judging by CP's post. I knew he had terminal skin cancer back in May & was amazed it didn't once come up on the DL - he was one of the four "sports stars" unique picks I mentioned that I hoped to name in the 2008 DDP thread. (Yes, I know that is a very loose term but I didn't want to give it away ay all.) Ah well, at least it will damage my chances of winning, thus lessening the embarrasment of doing well in my own Dead Pool MPFC, Bejart was already mentioned by Monoclinic yesterday.

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted November 26, 2007 William Tallon, never mentioned hereabouts before and - TBH - I'm surprised at the tonnage of obit he's got in the Telegraph. He was a royal servant. Worth noting at least because one or two of their better known members of the household might - therefore - qualify for point scoring obits if picked on deadpools. He has no Wiki page.

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted November 26, 2007 Bernie Banton has lost his cancer fight. I wonder if he was on anyone's list for 2008 as he was in the final stages of terminal cancer & after a long & well publicised battle re. absestos poisoning? The only drawback was the publicity was in Australia - not the best for valid obits on DP's... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted November 27, 2007 What about Billy Backdoor, the Queen Mum's page, who used to invite rent boys into Clarence House? The very man lying dead in the post a couple above yours. Quote from linked obit: Tallon succeeded Walter Taylor as Steward and Page of the Backstairs in 1978, eventually acquiring the tabloid nickname "Backstairs Billy".
