RIPs

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Liz Fraser of Carry On fame. Rather a miserable week I'm afraid to say. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45449088

Really has been a shit week.
Small press creator Terry Wiley died today.
I'm sure some of you may know him.

Actor Peter Benson aged 75 best known for Heartbeat & Blackadder

[Taryn Tailz]

She had a voice like marbled chocolate and the natural charisma to steal a scene without even having to utter a word. More than that, she seemed to belong to that very rare band of people who never really grow old, even as she entered into her nineties. I doubt we'll ever see another Fenella Fielding. R.I.P.

A bad week for Carry On fans.

Fenella had been due to give a reading from her autobiography at Zedel (underground restaurant and bar near Piccadilly) tonight.

(Irrevocably transformed in my memory into Denis Nodens, host of It'll Be Alright On The Nightgaunt, from the the genuinely funny CoC parody scenario The Shadow Of Frog's Yoghurt.)

All faves of mine growing up!

Sorry to hear about Chas, I've seen Chas and Dave play numerous times and they always came across as very warm, likeable men.
I believe Chas still owed my sister 20p which he borrowed for a game of pool.

GRANGE HILL SERIES 2 - MR BAXTER IS REPRIMANDED BY BENNY GREEN'S FATHER

'Al Matthews had been a member of the US Marine Corps and moved to London after serving in the Vietnam War - he boasted of holding 13 combat awards and decorations including two Purple Hearts. Al was a chart-topping soul singer back in the 1970s and was also a member of the prog rock band Hawkwind'


I've wasted my life.

...and was also a member of the prog rock band Hawkwind'

I used to have this theory that anyone who smokes weed for any length of time, or hangs around with those who do, has a statistical near-certainty of meeting someone who used to play in Hawkwind. Almost everyone I told it to said "yeah, I once met a guy at a gig/party/festival...." (my tally is two)
