Yeah, I am following it. However, three of the four people featured this week died weeks before Sykes. Well, wait and see...

Maybe not famous unless you are a deadpooler or an early music afficoniado. Until I looked her up 5 minutes ago I had always assumed she was a marginally famous relative of Eric.

And there hasn’t been lots of big deaths this week so they might still be a space for her in a future show.

If her struggle to obit continues I might have to see if I can convince some slapdash Mail journo that she led the Go Gos.

 

Slim chances of this working I concede...

Sykes continues to be absent from Last Word. Given the larger amount of celeb deaths recently I don’t think that mention is coming at this point…

One of the best episodes in some time this week. Beryl Vertue, who obviously had a legendary and important career. Flavio Carboni, an Italian fixxer for the Vatican, politicians and Mafia alike who had the misfortune of continually being linked to mysterious murders. Phil Harvey, who took on the Republican Party for the right to sell safe sex equipment for profit in the third world. And forum favourite Lata Mangeshkar, who was apparently a massive George Harrison fangirl as well as being India's answer to Marni Nixon.

 

The best bits were either the revelation that Mangeshkar had an addiction to Las Vegas slot machines, or the journalist who, during a court case in which Carboni was an actual suspect in a bankers death, willingly took lifts home from the man until the day a witness's story made Carboni's hypothetical involvement in the case a bit too realistic for the guys liking! :D
