Not actually Wikipedia but the Dr Who Guide claims Children of the Stones co-writer Trevor Ray died in 2019. Anyone seen anything to back this up at all? My search skills are failing at it.

Aye with Blake from Blake's 7 and Iain Cuthbertson as the bad guy.

 

 

Obviously I saw it some time after the 70s but it held up really well imo.

And Freddie Jones.

That young lad was such a clever-clogs, wasn't he?  That would all be massively dumbed down now.

Marge Redmond, actress and singer, dead at 95.

I knew this wouldn't have just been Wiki vandalism.

The Hollywood Reporter confirm that she did die on 10th February aged 95!!

They appear to have clocked her death after it was listed in the latest SAG-AFTRA magazine. Speaking of which... does anyone have access to the latest copy so they can see if anyone else has gone off radar?
