I honestly thought he'd died years ago, sometime in the 90's.

Anna Wing and a Prayer No More

[Trout]

I once read an interview with Anna Wing in which she said people always stopped her in the street because they were amazed she wasn't dead. Her character died at an advanced age yet she lived on, and people had difficulty coping with the idea.

RIP The Dandy. For reals this time.

" @wilburdawbarn - Sad to say the bold experiment that was the digital Dandy is over. Last week's was the last one."

I recently bought a load of old Megs, and stumbled across this image in one of them. RIP The Dandy...

Mel Smith, aged 60.

Bloody hell! That's a shocker 

[Bat King]

Yeah, I heard via Twitter from @theronster - he tweeted a simple 'Alas, Smith' which made me go straight to BBC site to check.

Quite sad. 60 isn't old by any standard in the UK these days. My dad died at 58 in 1989, which wasn't old then either.
