CVJJ 9 Posted January 9, 2021 Pretty astonished that he is still going as the last thing I saw him in was in a celebrities remembering VE Day thing the BBC did in 2015; he looked and sounded like he was not too good to put it mildly. But 6 years on... It reminds me of watching Kirk Douglas receive his honorary Oscar in 1996, just after his stroke, and thinking "well, he wont be around much longer.". The guy went on to live another 24 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well today it is a decade since his wife killed herself, and he is still alive and just 9 days shy to his 97th birthday. Never thought he would last so long.

Never thought he would last so long. It's remarkable as he looked quite old when he was in his 60s. He's quite doddery in the 1989 film Scandal for example and that's over 32 years old. I sadly don't see him lasting much longer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus 302 Posted April 21, 2022 Fair enough, but don't recall that applied to people in the main list before. Guess it must be a policy change as it was always one of two ways that they had their thread bumped - they'd either got a year older, or died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,755 Posted April 21, 2022 How long is it since the last time we heard anything about him? Excluding the same 2007 The Oldie interview Alice Pitman publishes again every year on the 20th of April after changing Phillips' age. 2016? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly why the birthday thread was started - because it always excites interest when the thread is bumped. Finding that it's just a birthday and not news is a let-down, so a thread was created for birthdays. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frleon 138 Posted April 21, 2022 Nah, I think for main list picks it's alright to have them bumped randomly once a year. I get the potential for disappointment, but for some of the more obscure names, especially to non-UK readers like me, it's always nice to be reminded they exist. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I genuinely have no idea how he is still going. Apparently this photo of him is from 1978. He looked old then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to bump this thread again, but I have to say this was actually not his most recent public appearance. He posed for some photos on the 16th of September 2017, before the Tottenham Hotspur v Swansea City Premier League match at Wembley Stadium: However seemingly this wasn't in any news articles and I could only find one high quality picture of him at that event, that first one. As far as I know he hasn't made any appearances since. It's been nearly 5 years. Immortal with a capital I. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
