It has got to be fake. A lot of British TV attracts people who like to make their own custom “official” material based around it (YouTube is full of niche fake BBC One trailers and the like) and I can imagine this being someone’s extension of that.

Considering it's been 12 hours and literally no major media outlet has concurred, it's absolutely a terribly written hoax.

Wilfred Grove, one of those character actors who appeared in lots but generally smaller roles, reported dead aged 92 here: https://whyevolutionistrue.com/2023/06/15/thursday-hili-dialogue-440/#comment-2050013

 

Of course, the role that caught my eye was Male Nun in The Avengers story Dead On Course.

I see he was also in The Flaxton Boys, a programme that seemingly no-one but me remembers.

Ian Clegg, actor with a few roles on IMDB, death notice: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/clegg-notices_52728

 

Age, profession and place of residence/death tie up completely with this entry from Companies House, so definitely him: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/L5gRZSyIgh7TS4uG9y5cJ4SqEc8/appointments

Bob Flag, musician and actor whose roles include Dennis Nielsen in Cold Light Of Day and Alan Rathbone in Calendar Girls. reportedly dead in Japan: 

Same guy in this video:

 

 

However, we are all going to remember him as the face of Big Brother from the film 1984 and the accompanying Eurythmics track.

Happy 97th birthday today to Doreen Mantle.

Sad news. Doreen Mantle has died.  Obviously One Foot in the Grave is her stand out but was still acting recently in Doctors and Fr Brown.

Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but thought we were overdue a masterlist for British television actors so went through a list of UK TV shows of the 60s–90s earlier and singled out all the actors turning 90+ in 2021. Vast majority of these names will obit for sure:

Cyril Appleton (wiki, b. 1930) Coronation Street

As always, additions very welcome.

 

I don't know if it is true, but he seem to be dead in 2005?

But someone who claimed to be his family friend said he was alive in 2016?

@Gisooo, upon closer inspection, the Cyril Appleton who died in Wigan in 2005 may not be the actor. I found the death record on Ancestry and the date of birth listed is completely different. 

The comment on Wikipedia says that Cyril Appleton was alive and living in London as of 2016. I see from the residency records that there is a Cyril A Appleton living in that area. 

Cyril Appleton is a pretty uncommon name but there were two born in 1930 (and both in Lancashire coincidentally!):

Births Jun 1930   (>99%)

Births Sep 1930   (>99%)


Appleton Cyril Trundle Wigan 8c49 btnInfo.gif Scan available - click to view

Is it possible that the first one is the actor? Likely so. If his DOB of 31 May 1930 is believed to be correct, then a June 1930 registration would make more sense.

Remarkable how much better the cast of One Foot in the Grave has fared for longevity compared to say The Vicar of Dibley which started later and had a similar aged main cast.
