― Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 15:22 (four years ago)

Aw, Olive. Married for 40+ years to Terry Duggan, co-star from that show, who also has a credit as "ape attacked by panther" in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 23 February 2022 15:36 (four years ago)

RIP Anna Karen. I feel like a bit of a curse, I was making an Anna Kavan/Anna Karen 'joke' on Facebook just the other day ...

― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 23 February 2022 15:41 (four years ago)

RIP Anna. What a terrible way to go :(

― I have a voulez-vous? with death (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 19:22 (four years ago)

― frogbs, Wednesday, 23 February 2022 19:27 (four years ago)

that untitled amazing johnathan documentary was excellent, surreal to think that he finally passed away

― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 19:30 (four years ago)

RIP to The Amazing Johnathan. His 1996 Comedy Central special had it all. Jokes. Magic. Cartoonish gags. Sex. Drugs. And treating the audience like a bunch of rubes. The absolute height of the form. https://t.co/OKyskcKwUM

RIP Nicky Tesco. For the duration of the run from “The Sound of the Suburbs” to “Offshore Banking Business” (i.e. a few weeks in the spring of 1979) they were my favourite band, along with Chic and (the) Village People. In retrospect, it was all about that bass. When white punk boys went reggae and dub (post-“(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais”, but before the Specials and the Beat and the rest of the 2 Tone scene)

We're extremely sad to hear of the passing of Shirley Hughes. Having written and illustrated over 200 books, Shirley was a master of creating beautiful characters that stand the test of time. A world without Alfie or Dogger would be a world lacking.
