easy mistake to make. also because Drudge never gives interviews and rarely has his picture taken.

Frank Bough. For some reason I thought he'd died years ago and then I saw a Twitter account under his name, thought that someone had maybe just set one up under his name and then checked....he's 85 now.

Still kicking around at 92.
Right... I've had to keep this under wraps for ages. We've just finished editing a Christmas special (90') on Stanley Baxter for C5 He;'s 92, on top form, and he allowed our cameras into his house. He's v.v. funny. Details closer to transmission. Press pls go to Mark Borkowski— Victor Lewis-Smith (@TVOFFAL) November 25, 2018

Clive James. Could have sworn he died a couple of years ago.
― suffeeciant attreebution (aldo)
he's been terminally ill for about 4 or 5 years and has been writing about his imminent death, in terms that make it seem like it's just round the corner, ever since. due to this ive assumed multiple times over recent years that he must have passed away.

He sounds a little embarrassed about it, to be fair

I think if you still possess a sense of embarrassment then life really hasn't prepared you for death yet.

Reading his Wiki page, it's probably not significant that the BBC interview where he said the disease "had beaten him" and that he was "near the end" came a couple of months after his wife had thrown him out after discovering he'd been having an affair with a model for 8 years - is it?

He's turned rightwing in his old age though just like his mates Amis, McEwen et al - the last thing I read of his was a review in the TLS where he praised Tony Abbott, Australia's very own Donald Trump
