Gisooo 2,932 Posted July 29 Its not the actor. There is another Cyril Appleton. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,292 Posted July 29 Searching through the edit history of his Wikipedia, someone claiming to be his nephew edited it in 2023 to correct the DOB and place of birth - but not to add that he was dead. Which would lend credence to the "wrong Appleton theory" regarding him being listed as dead on IMDB. EDIT: Also on his edit history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/90.214.242.103 Quote The 2005 death notice was incorrect. Cyril Appleton is still alive and living in South Kensington. He is a close family friend and I spoke to him on 27/11/16. jasonalyon@hotmail.com 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reveal hidden contents NEVILLE Pat (née Heywood) died peacefully on 26th June 2024, aged 92. Prolific actress in theatre, film and TV. A unique pick in the DDP! Not needed as a Yahoo! UK already qualified but Pat Heywood got a Guardian obit if anyone wants to read up. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was brilliant in my favourite Inspector Morse episode "Second Time Around" which also featured Kenneth Colley (born 1937), Ann Bell (born 1938) and Oliver Ford Davies (born 1939) who are all still going well into their mid 80s. Unusually by Morse standards, the cast of that episode has had decent longevity as Jenny Laird and Helena Mccarthy both lived to be 89. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
