I've only found out that Tony Hart is dead. That sucks

[COMMANDO FORCES]

For some strange reason that seems to be popping up all over, even though he died in 2009.

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

Yeah, that's how I found out. It's not uncommon for some joker on the internet to try and start a celebrity death hoax. I think that's what has happened here, but the joker in question just happened to pick a random obscure celebrity who had been dead for almost 6 years.

I got caught out by the same message on Facebook last night, funnily enough posting my respects in response to Greg Staples who had also commented on it. Seems weird that I cannot recall the passing though of such a hero of my childhood??

Best Dracula there ever was imo.

[Tiplodocus]

Yeah I really liked that Dracula. 93 is a good innings. I recall we spent a couple of lessons of Film and TV studies at college examining why Letter From An Unknown Woman was so awesome and I thought that he had barely aged. And he still looked caddisly  perfect in the far-from-perfect Octopussy.

That's twice he's died now. Was he related to Tony Hart?

Incredibly sad. Such a talent. My thoughts are with his loved ones.
