Spade_Cooley 9,625 Posted January 16, 2014 Shall we? I mean, they're dropping like flies (four whole castmember deaths over 20 years), and its probably a more interesting category than "who will die first, an old man or another old man". Plus if David Jason starts going handgliding again [deleted on legal grounds]. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,639 Posted January 16, 2014 David Jason and Jim Broadbent are possibilities but both Kenneth MacDonald and Roger Lloyd-Pack took me by surprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,625 Posted January 16, 2014 Let's do the obvious: Del Boy - David Jason (b.1940) Rodney - Nicholas Lyndhurst (b.1961) Grandad - Lennard Pearce (1915-1984) Uncle Albert - Buster Merryfield (1920-1999) Cassandra - Gwyneth Strong (b.1959) Raquel - Tessa Peake Jones (b.1957) Trigger - Roger Lloyd Pack (1944-2014) Boycie - John Challis (b.1942) Denzil - Paul Barber (b.1951) DCI Slater - Jim Broadbent (b.1949) Marlene - Sue Holderness (b.1949) Mike - Kenneth MacDonald (1950-2001) Mickey Pearce - Patrick Murray (b.1956) Sid - Roy Heather (1935-2014) Plus roughly 20,000 other actors who made one appearance in this show but that'll be enough to guarantee them a BBC obit when they go. Like "no, not Keith Barron. Yeah, I know Keith Barron was in it, but not him. The guy who looks like Keith Barron. He played a jewellery conman or something? Del cut his dick off. He was in "Doctors" as well." Patrick Murray ended up as a homeless alcoholic and now lives in a hotel with Brian "Superstars" Jacks, fwiw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,639 Posted January 16, 2014 Patrick Murray ended up as a homeless alcoholic and now lives in a hotel with Brian "Superstars" Jacks, fwiw. That bit of information is the sort of thing that might mean he would be worth a pick but with the exception of David Jason I wouldn't be putting any of these on a list in the next two years. I even thought David Jason looked better than I had seen him recently in Still Open All Hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was also a psychiatrist in an episode of 'Nightingales', in which it was revealed that "Ding Dong" Bell (played by David Threlfall) was a serial horse rapist...

Toast 16,232 Posted January 16, 2014 He was great, wasn't he? Superb comic timing. One of my favourite lines was in the episode of Vicar Of Dibley when they were discussing the cost of replacing a stained glass window. "£11,000? Bugger me! You could have someone killed for that!" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
