Just done a quick check on IMDB which would appear to indicate that of the regular cast (those who appeared in 10 episodes or more) the only surviving member is 81 year old Terry Carter who appeared in 14 episodes as Private Sugarman.

One of the symptoms of the early stages of the unfortunate victim's illness was that he

Stephen J Cannell

 

Writer-producer whose credits included "The Rockford Files" and "The A-Team" has died aged 69.

 

"During his TV heyday, Cannell became familiar to viewers from the ID that followed each of his shows: He was seen in his office typing on his Selectric before blithely ripping a sheet of paper from the typewriter carriage, whereupon it morphed into the C-shaped logo of Cannell Entertainment Inc."

Sir Robert Mark, Formerly a Met Police Commissioner, has died aged 93.

 

I did consider him for my DDP, being one of the longest served holders of the GBE at the time of his death.

Film and Television director Roy Ward Baker has died aged 93.

 

Shouldn't be too much trouble getting an obit which will mean an 8th hit for I'm Ready For My Funeral Mr. DeMille!

I tell you, I'm quite shocked that I've gotten 8 hits this year, quite insane I think. And considering I had a few "misses" who knows how high I could have been. Still, I'm looking good for a top 20 finish perhaps, definitely getting my best ever finish on the DDP.
