I genuinely can't see why it is OK to dress up as a person of a different gender, but not OK to dress up as a person of a different race. It's just acting, comic acting in this example. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely the woke thought police that controls Big Tech and the media should demand that Eddie Murphy's apologise for his use of "white face". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,904 Posted January 29, 2021 Stanley seems like someone who would fit in at DL somehow, well he is Scottish and gay so he'd be at the centre of that Venn diagram. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted December 30, 2022 NOT DEAD But has anyone heard or seen any recent information on Baxter’s current status? He’s gone almost worryingly quiet. I cannot seem to find anything since he published his autobiography in November 2020, with a picture of him holding it, looking spritely and incredibly youthful for ninety-four. Due to some hard decisions with limited places, I’m seriously considering taking him off my 2023 shadow list last minute; 2024 feels like his year for some reason (a strong feeling he’ll go at 98 like his contemporary, Leslie Phillips). However, I would hate to miss this national treasure of British television all of a sudden like I did with Bernard Cribbins, 97 is a dangerous age for anyone (especially males) and Baxter is probably the second most vulnerable candidate from this year’s list, who was born in 1926 and is still living (after Tony Bennett). So should I risk leaving Baxter off until 2024 and give his place to someone else like Vera Miles, Bernadette Chirac, Burt Bacharach etc.? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arsewipe 202 Posted December 31, 2022 I watched the 1977 xmas special with Crosby/Bowie/Baxter/Twiggy etc a few days ago and was amazed to find he was still alive. If he outlives Twiggy I think he's immortal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he outlives Twiggy I think he's immortal. Yes, also extra staggering that he is still alive over 60 years after he seriously contemplated suicide, and also considering he has lived a mostly unhappy life because he has been unhappy with who he turned out to be. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a feeling it was our Latin American friend based on the bad English, but since he was blocked without a fight I didn't figure he'd be bored enough to try signing up again and actually passing that account off as legit news.

Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted May 15 Am I correct in saying that Gudrun Ure's death means that Stanley Baxter is the now the oldest Scottish entertainer of note, and the last significant Scottish actor/entertainer born in the decade of the 1920s? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm counting Sandy Gall even if he was born abroad! But yeah there's a few DDP worthy ancient Scots who are notable in their own fields but none are A list BBC Breaking News deaths. (For those curious and too lazy to check, celebrity photographer Harry Benson, philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, comics artist Sydney Jordan, and classical musician Thea Musgrave are all alive and waiting for your theme teams.)
