Two years ago today, Brian Sewell died. There was a great gnashing of teeth among deadpoolers.

 

 

Jackie Collins died on the same day. She appeared on Wogan once, and that was shown in a hastily scheduled series of Wogan retrospectives that Christmas. And did anyone pick up on this? Actually, 6 DDP teams, as you were.

Six years since Dolores Hope left us aged 102. Her finest hour, finally getting her own back on Bob for all his philandering by propping his senile, barely functioning body up in this 90s TV variety show as Jack Frost

US President James Garfield died on this day 136 years ago, aged 49.

Surprisingly enough, his assassin's bullet didn't kill him.

The doctors didn't wash their hands, leading to the wound becoming infected.
