Farewell Shughie McFee. Hope it wasn't your cooking that did you in.

 

Angus Lennie was going to be on my 2015 list. Argh.

Sorry, posted a comment on another thread about Angus Lennie.

 

How many escapers are now left. We know about David McCallum and William Russell, but is that all

I thought that Karl Otto Alberty was on the German side and not one of the escapers.

Can someone tell me what the secret is behind "Hill street blues"?

 

I mean all but 5(!) of the main characters and supporting characters are still alive. (Note: there are five others with no wiki page but I presume they are alive.) And it's an impressive list of actors numbering 37!!

 

St Elswhere, which ran at around the time period is doing ok too. Just going from memory, I think we've only lost Ed Flanders from the main cast.

I was thinking last week on doing a Dirty Dozen thread which is of similar vintage.

 

But more "possible".

 

Now on a tablet as opposed to laptop, I'm less likely to do it.

 

Until I get another laptop ;) , the tablet is only for watching football via mobdro, yes mobdro.

 

That's mobdro.

 

For all televisual/sporting needs.....

 

Mobdro.

that leaves John Leyton as the last surviving cast member of the film

He's been on my Pop theme team for the last 4 years, which seemingly confers immortaiity...
