Re: And today, joining the underground .....
Am I supposed to have heard of the poor fella who’s been on the front page of the BBC news all day?

He was no David Bryant!
Must confess, I'd never heard of him, but then, I'm not into fillums 'specially Hollywood ones. He did seem to have a decent body of work mind.

I don’t think the Queen Mother lasted as long on the main headline.

Re: And today, joining the underground .....
Couple of nights ago - in the wee small hours - the death of Gene Wilder was in the front page top ten most read on BBC News website. 
The fact that he died a few years ago doesn't seem to matter much. Spose me clicking on it perpetuated it in the most read.
I reckon there's someone running their website who gets bored and brings obscure stuff to the front page just to see how many people notice. Fair play to him/her if true.

Diana Rigg - 83? Impossible.
I can't be the only one who remembers lusting after her in her Avengers days... can I?

Diana Rigg in the Avengers was before my time. 'Twas the New Avengers with Joanna Lumley when I was an adolescent.

David Cook a lower division prop -- former Lord Mayor -- when the job was awarded to gentlemen -- because in truth that was what he was -- despite being a Lawyer ( solicitor ) if you went to him professionally you never sensed the pound sign in the eyes -- he was there to help you. good bye my friend .

As if 2020 couldn’t get any worse. Eddie died. Gutted. He played the guitar to my o level and a level revision, I think I was the only one in my school who thought van halen were a cool band. I was amazed when bbc breakfast did a thing on him and interviewed Gene Simmons who spoke so wonderfully of Eddie. Very touching it was. Obviously at 65 he was never going to be producing another “Eruption” or “Mean Streets” etc but his last tour he was absolutely nailing it. I don’t know about anybody else but the sound he made from his guitar was matched by very few in the rock world. Very sad. Only positive is his son might release a ton of music from his tons of studio recordings and maybe someone will release a digital remaster of their ‘83 tour. Rip Eddie
