Mohamed al FayedEAD.

And now he can continue his pursuit of Prince Philip and the Quen in Heaven.

A bit of a 'weeeeep', here.

I was watching Channel 5's documentary about ITV sitcom Man About The House, last night, and I was wondering why Richard O'Sullivan didn't appear as a talking head in the show. So I checked online, and it appears that he's lived in a residential home for entertainers for the past 20 years, since having a stroke at the age of 59.

This has made me sad.

If you follow Robin Askwith on X (formerly known as twitter) you will see that he regularly keeps in touch and seems quite chipper.

also Brinsworth House is a pretty nice place in Twickenham so he's doing OK.

The World Cup Killer, who books into upmarket hotels under the name 'Jules Rimet'.

oh no steve wright is dead

Post by **dng** » Tue Feb 13, 2024 11:26 pm

he was in my dad's year/class at school

Post by **dng** » Tue Feb 13, 2024 11:27 pm

thats all i know about steve wright

Post by **dng** » Tue Feb 13, 2024 11:28 pm

and also that for the last 25 years (until two years ago or whenver he retired from radio 2), i went to the same dentist in the same room twice a year and the radio was always playing steve wright while the dentist slowly scraped away stuff from my teeth and that's the only time i ever heard steve wright it was like being stuck in some sort of purgatorial void outside of space and time

Post by **dng** » Tue Feb 13, 2024 11:31 pm

it was quite soothing really i suppose

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Feb 14, 2024 1:56 am

I think the last time I heard Steve Wright on the radio was during his R1 afternoon shift days. After that, there was that odd photo of him getting out of his car via the boot, and that's all that springs to mind.

He seemed a decent chap, especially so in comparison to some of his colleagues.

RIP.

Post by **vom** » Wed Feb 14, 2024 3:09 pm

you're thinking of the town of Blackburn, which was killed by a godzilla

serves them right for not fixing all those holes

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Feb 14, 2024 8:59 pm

How come it wasn't Wolverhampton attacked by a godzilla? It's not fair!

Or at least we could've had those giant worm creachers in Tremors, that would've been something. *sulks*

Post by **vom** » Wed Feb 14, 2024 9:47 pm

seven Tremors movies and a TV show and they have never even ONCE been to the West Midlands

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Feb 15, 2024 1:49 pm

Those giant worm creachers know that if they ventured onto West Midlands territory, we'd capture them, chip-shop fry them in batter, and eat them.
