Adrienne Rich. A fortnight ago. My initial reaction being surprise that she was still alive (even though she wasn't by then, but you know what I mean.)

Peter Wragg has died. He was responsible for designing the majority of Red Dwarf's visual effects - including Starbug, Kyrten and.. well basically all of it. He's responsible for a lot that went into my mind as a fanatic young Dwarf fan - and there's probably still one of my many plasticine Starbugs lodged behind a school radiator to testify to that. R.I.P.

...and, as Doug Naylor himself has (possibly angrily) tweeted me - his models have graced Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds and Doctor Who and he was responsible for all visual effects trickery in Bottom to say the least of his wide and varied effects career

Levon Helm very soon.

That is sad news about Peter Wragg, great model effects on a slim tv budget. I always liked the little Tardis near the exit to Starbugs hanger. R.I.P.

Sad few weeks for music.

Lord (Jack) Ashley - socialist, parliamentarian and lifelong campaigner for the disabled

Heath C Ackley · 22 April, 2012, 05:21:45 PM

He was once my local MP and I met him a few times. An MP of the old stock, with values and concerns and not just interested in his media profile or his expenses.

This sucks.

Colin YNWA · 04 May, 2012, 07:11:10 PM

That's pretty rubbish and 48 is no age.
