The Dead Of 2015

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

Are there threads for GH, Bill & Casualty?

No idea, have to admit I haven't really looked.

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.

Michele Ferrero, world's 20th richest man and the guy responsible for Nutella, Ferrero Rocher, Kinder Eggs and Tic Tacs, dead at 89.

 

There's going to be a cracking spread at his funeral!

 

I blame people like him for my diabetes :rant: That and the fact I shovel chocolate and crisps down my throat like there's no tomorrow...

 

But alas, not fast enough :xbones:

 

I might have died today for all you know.How would you feel then ! :flame2:

I'm sorry to break the news but Peter Falk died 3 years ago. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13909992 Console yourself with the Colombo boxset.

 

LIES! Uncle Pete is alive and well: I'd remember if he had died!

Aye, the outpouring of grief so long after his death was - ermm - worrying when you consider it must have registered with some of the same grieving people the first time around.

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.

 

 

On topic, Judge Dredd comic artist Brett Ewins dead aged 59.

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. It's maddening.

Character actor and rentaghost stalwart Jeffrey Segal passed away Feb 5. http://www.thestage.co.uk/people/obituaries/2015/02/obituary-jeffrey-segal/

 

I remember him from Fawlty Towers, I don't really remember him from Rentaghost even though I would watch that every week.

Hey I'm new and trying to follow suit. When I posted herein I'd be directed to someone else's post in a specific forum. And vice versa. 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.

I saw him at the RSC a couple of times. Very sad he is gone.

Pola Miller, an award-winning filmmaker and documentarian died Feb. 8 in Los Angeles. She was 86. "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....
