maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted May 9, 2016 Did anyone see this article yesterday? We should sent this to anyone who complains we are sick and ghoulish for posting on this site. However my collection of Terry Pratchett Signed first editions are not for sale before or after his death. Only just seen that. Sick fuck! What's his posting name hereabouts? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We may never know the truth in the post truth society we live in.... The account was started a month ago, her husbands name was publicly known, and it mentions the wifes death as an aside in a middle of anti-Tory rants? Bit weird. And she was a pretty big face in the 90s - Londons Burning was huge. One to watch. Or get bored in mid-August and ask Cat to track down the details. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,071 Posted September 18, 2019 Guardian Obit for Mona Adams: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/sep/18/mona-adams-obituary Apparently the researcher on the programme who helped John Sullivan with the finale - the finding of the valuable watch that sells for millions at auction. Though IMDB does not mention her apparent role as a production assistant on Doctor Who - her obit does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He just started it, and has been talking up moving to Serbia of late. Here he is 5 days ago: And here is a company involved letting the cat out of the bag: So cancer since 2019 but thought he was OK to tour until 24 hours ago when suddenly everything needed cancelled. I'll be honest, this one feels ominous and Challis is very DL-y. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,542 Posted September 6, 2021 Yeah, definitely a radar figure and being as a) he's a big social media poster b) the OFAH fan community being pretty obsessive with the show's cast, we should be able to keep a very close eye on developments here.

The Old Crem 3,608 Posted September 6, 2021 I wonder what type of cancer. Could be a type that gets him to 2022 or one that now the decline is happening he will be gone before then.The way the press are reporting it makes me think the later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon Brittan 294 Posted September 6, 2021 I met John a few years ago. Lovely man hopefully he lives with this for years to come. He signed my book too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,408 Posted September 6, 2021 Big fan of Challis and OFAH and I sincerely hope he recovers. The news doesn’t sound good though, and he has that pale complexion that other cancerists such as Sean Lock and Helen McCrory exhibited in their last couple of public appearances. Very concerning. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,171 Posted September 6, 2021 A bit gutted about the John Challis news. Wonderful bloke, was hoping he'd last longer as he deserves it. Does feel like there's a bit of an OFAH curse. Only David Jason has made it to over 80 of the main cast I think. Poor old Nicholas Lyndhurst also had tragedy with his son dying recently at a very young age.

vvmax 7 Posted September 6, 2021 Never thought of that before. Nothing can beat the Dad's Army curse, most of the cast members died within a few years of the shows ending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing can beat the Dad's Army curse, most of the cast members died within a few years of the shows ending. Yes, but of the main cast members of Dad's Army only James Beck died really early. Arnold Ridley, Bill Pertwee, John Laurie and Clive Dunn (of course) all lived to be over 80. John Le Mesurier was over 70, Arthur Lowe was late 60s. Ian Lavender (75) and Frank Williams (90) are still not out. With Dad's Army it was that the cast were very old to start with. Their overall average life expectancy has been higher than British men of that era. In contrast only David Jason of the main Only Fools cast has made it past 80 so far by my reckoning. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
