Hardy in top spot with others missing, imo (remember the BBC link there). Also, not beyond them to have a blast of Born to be Wild at the very end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,210 Posted August 3, 2017 I don't think Foray got a full BBC obit, so I doubt that she'll lead in Last Word... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 20,914 Posted August 4, 2017 Wow. Robert Hardy (was quick after all), David Jones, Jeanne Moreau, Mark Wilkinson, Sam Shepard. So much for the diversity quota... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pfau took on illnesses and tried to help folk, Gordon wrote books which apparently are much more admired than the Carry On series, Rao was all about Indian space research, and Dr G's bit taught me about aboriginal death culture I'd never even heard of. All far more interesting than 10 mins of BBC pop culture icon anecdotes I'd heard many times before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,210 Posted August 20, 2017 Brucey should be a shoe in for this week, but I think it could be a massive week this week. We already lost two more major names with Colin Meads and Dick Gregory, and it's only Saturday night... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,396 Posted August 20, 2017 Dick Gregory is nailed on Last Word fodder. Meads might miss out depending what happens this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh I listened to it intently - crawling in traffic en route to a romantic weekend and 4-1 drubbing away in Lincoln Hadn't realised the source of Chris Blackwell's fortune so his mum inadvertently made a major contribution to culture (the British label that broke reggae to the planet, signed Bob Marley etc. etc.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,396 Posted September 1, 2017 This week on Last Word, apparently: Dick Gregory, the African American comedian and civil rights activist who was also a dietician to stars like John Lennon and Mohammed Ali. Jeannie Rousseau who spied on the Nazis' secret weapons programme. Wayne Lotter, the South African elephant conservationist who has been shot dead in Tanzania. Sean O'Callaghan, the leading IRA member who turned informer. He helped to stop a bomb attack which would have killed the Prince and Princess of Wales. And the jazz guitarist John Abercrombie.
