YoungWillz 21,086 Posted January 21, 2020 We're not all obsessed with death you know, sometimes it's good to know that even through suicidal thoughts and his diagnosis, he's still hopeful, nearing on 50. Touching, actually. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was on pointless Celebs recently. He didn't seem quite all there so this makes sense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony Dawes reported dead by his local church: https://m.facebook.com/sloanechurch/posts/3630247620423162 In possibly everything except Doctor Who?

Anthony Dawes played Mr Golightly in an early episode of Grange Hill. I remember him best as the Headmaster in Who Sir, Me Sir? A great kids programme that has had its share of cadavers.
