Paul Bearer 6,101 Posted February 17, 2015 I do agree that ALL deaths should be recorded in the yearly thread, as well as in the appropriate and specific thread. Ideally the person who is first to post a death should post it in both. Nobody should be derided for posting a death here simply because it has been posted in another thread. It gets a bit annoying when the same death is posted in 4 or 5 different threads. Like some bit part actor that had a walk on part in Dr Who, then had a talking part on Blakes 7, and had a week or two in a soap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always been under the assumption that the "deaths of 2015" was for actual deaths and the other threads were simply to update about health issues. Although once in a while I may have posted the same death under a couple of threads. What happens if they also had bit parts in Grange Hill, The Bill or Casualty?

Like some bit part actor that had a walk on part in Dr Who, then had a talking part on Blakes 7, and had a week or two in a soap. Fair point, but I still think that's no excuse for a death not to get a mention in "The Dead of [insert year]". As someone else put it, this thread should act as a one-stop shop, like a reference section, and be fully inclusive. That way there's no need to look at the other threads unless we wish to - no risk of missing a death. I don't mind the repetition myself. I see the more specialist threads as being a place for general discussions, which may range beyond the person who is dead or dying. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some folk I know had genuinely managed to miss the news first time around. It's the opposite issue I tend to have - whenever I see something with Bernard Hepton in it I always think: "When did he die again?" Only to find out he's still alive.

One would think that but if you post an obit here an hour after it's been posted in another forum, you'll be told by at least one person who shall remain nameless that 'it's already posted' with a link to the forum.

I don't want to clutter up this forum any more than I have, though I think it was a healthy chat. From now on I'll personally make sure I post in Dead of 2015 and then in the specific forum or nothing further. We shall see how that works. In the end I know e.g. Castro will be listed in Political Frailty and not here. But I hope everyone puts all Deaths here eventually. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"In the early 1970s, the couple moved to London, where Miller became the host of a Thames Television show, Americans Abroad." http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/pola-miller-dead-documentarian-was-775620 By FAR the most noteworthy thing about her is this: "In 1955, she married television director Robert Ellis Miller, whom she had met as a student when she auditioned for his production of The Man Who Came to Dinner, staged while he was president of the Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club. HE SURVIVES HER." How fucking old is HE then??? Put him on your lusts IMMEDIATELY he will be depressed and die. How rare a man survives his elderly wife....
