msc 18,476 Posted November 13 8 minutes ago, The Old Crem said: I wouldn’t be shocked if she doesn’t last six weeks. Yeah it wouldn't shock. As I think I mentioned before they reminded me of an old aunt and uncle of mine and the widower (the one with the dementia) lasted a month without his partner of fifty years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,051 Posted November 13 Well, 2024 candidates are true survivors. Carter, Eastwood and now Prunella surviving their partners… Even the safest candidates seem to be at risk for next year, drops will be hard to choose 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,142 Posted November 13 Quote In their statement, Juliet, Samuel and Joseph West described their father as having had a "long and extraordinary life on and off the stage". West leaves "a sister, a daughter, two sons, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren", the family said, adding: "All of us will miss him terribly.

Cerberus 302 Posted November 13 I found it surprising, to say the least, that the BBC obituary of Timothy West made no mention at all of 'Edward the Seventh' - surely he's better known for that than for appearing in seven episodes of 'Coronation Street' in 2013. I remember that series very fondly - I was only 12 in 1975 but as it was deemed of historical value I was allowed to stay up once a week to watch it. Annette Crosbie was a perfect Queen Victoria. 'I, Claudius' a year later was a very different affair. TW was also memorable in the 'Royal Jelly' episode of 'Tales of the Unexpected' from 1980. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted November 13 West played comedy really well in this series, many of the jokes revolving around northern stereotypes (poverty, dourness, hard work for its own sake) - She's had more men than you've had hot dinners - That's not that many, then etc.etc. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
