This was my first theatre date with my future wife. Very sad news. So he'll be less remembered for reciting "Methought I heard a voice cry, ‘Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep: the innocent sleep, sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care, the death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, chief nourisher in life's feast" than for "Gizza job. Go on. Gizzit". Such is life. There's that other bit of Yosser dialogue that sticks in the mind, in the confession box: "I'm desperate, Father" "Call me Dan" "I'm Desperate Dan" 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,633 Posted May 5 I'm not old enough to have seen the Boys from the Blackstuff, although I am aware of Yosser Hughes and Gizza Job as parts of the cultural landscape. For me, he is Theoden, King of Rohan, a role he played superbly in both films. A sad loss. RIP Bernard. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,105 Posted May 5 I told my mum about his death earlier and she was confused who he was for a moment and went; "Wasn't he in The Railway Children". "No mum that was Bernard Cribbins." 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much more interesting resume than all that Alan Bleasdale stuff... The obits online mention that he had a fiancee named Alison. Anyone know when he and Marianna Hill might have divorced/separated then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,293 Posted May 8 Maybe I missed it, but we never posted the cancer diagnosis of actress Olivia Williams: https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/olivia-williams-pancreatic-cancer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Williams Well, she recently revealed that it's "rare" pancreatic cancer that she still has, and that is being managed (maybe the neuroendocrine variant?): https://uk.news.yahoo.com/olivia-williams-cancer-not-cured-060000013.html Edit: Ok, Wikipedia says it's a VIPoma, i.e. yes, an endocrine cancer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haydn Gwynne, who portrayed Camilla in The Windsors, died in October 2023, just a month after a cancer diagnosis. Olivia Williams played Camilla in The Crown. Conspiracy theories appearing online in 3, 2, 1... Edit: Important to note however that Williams was diagnosed in 2018. It doesn't appear that she's in any immediate trouble.

YoungWillz 19,343 Posted Wednesday at 14:59 Gazette notice for the death of actress Hazel Maddock, who died 25 October 2023: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4615640 Not incredibly notable, except that waaay back in 2011 she admitted not reporting her mother's death and claiming her dead mother's pension, possibly for up to 6 months. As a result, she was jailed for 11 months for the crime. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2010247/Actress-Hazel-Maddock-jailed-11-months-claiming-dead-mothers-benefits.html Hazel Maddock was 73. The Gazette notice references the executor as Jasmine, her daughter and the address is Wallasey, so this is our dame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
