YoungWillz 21,081 Posted December 11, 2019 So I nip to the shops and.... I can tell you to a young and inquisitve mind, watching Don't Ask Me with Bellamy, Magnus Pyke, Miriam Stoppard et al was certainly a way to engender a science interest. Thanks Mr Bellamy for helping me grow. RIP. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And even more astonishing is that Alan Rollinson, as nice a bloke he was, DID get a mention. He was a non-qualifier, yet the man who designed numerous successful racing cars AND was Oxford United's chairman didn't get a mention in either. None of the other motor racing drivers who died in 2019 would've got anything from the BBC but Herd was the big miss there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,234 Posted December 17, 2019 Looks like Tamara O'Brien, who I'm sure many people had on their long lists died off the radar, and is only noted by a single line on an old article of her. Was also a Windy City pick... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,081 Posted December 18, 2019 Always seemed to be around in things when I was a lad. So how many possible threads could he have gone in? Pop Stars? Character Actors? Songwriters? Carry On Dying? Comics and Comedy? Children's TV? Kenny Lynch did it all, and there's probably a couple of generations who have never heard of him.
