Every time I hear the name I think of Alison Steadman in "Abigail's Party" saying "Demees Roossoss"

OldGoat · 26-01-2015 3:43pm

I remember Roussos from an earlier time when he worked with Vangelis in the Greek progressive rock band "Aphrodite's Child". I was a hipster even then. Gonna search-out and play the album "666" and give it a spin later tonight.

Sad to see Demis go, but like others, amazed at how young he was. I really thought he was more Nana's vintage. R.I.P.

Sad news, one of my favourite authors, Terry Pratchett has died aged 66

Im going to miss the ongoing instalments from the Discworld

Terry Pratchett wasa hero of mine and I did read an awful lot of his books too.

That is really sad. Loved Hot Chocolate. Did you know they played at Charles and Diana's wedding reception?

Layinghen · 13-05-2015 1:46pm

Couldn't believe it when I heard on the news that Derek Davis had died. Was only listening to him last weekend on the Marion Finucane programme.

He was a wonderful broadcaster and a bon vivant who knew how to enjoy himself.

Very sad that his retirement was so short.

red sean · 13-05-2015 5:09pm

A very professional broadcaster. (and angler!)
RIP big man.

Jellybaby1 · 13-05-2015 10:03pm

As they said on the news, a 'much loved' presenter.

He wasn't a good broadcaster, he was a great broadcaster.

Jellybaby1 · 26-05-2015 12:55am

Sorry to hear about Bill O'Herlihy's passing. He first came on my horizon when he did that unforgettable programme about money lenders. His own life was threatened at the time - brave journalism and ground-breaking at the time.

Sorry, I didn't mean to minimise the loss, just that (in my world at least) Jerry was very well known.

Their baby daughter was also left critical in the accident, and left an orphan at the very least, very sad on so many levels,

Young family decimated,
Supreme sporting talent snuffed out,
Both parents too young to die needlessly,
All preventable.

James Horner was killed a few days ago in a plane crash aged 61. Wonderful composer, most famous for the Braveheart and Titanic soundtracks, although he did a lot more than just those two.

Val Doonican has died aged 88, sad news

RIP

So sorry to hear about Val Doonican.

OldGoat · 03-07-2015 8:45am

This one slipped by me a couple of days ago. Chris Squire, bass player with the band Yes. Gonna wipe the dust off "Tales of Topographic oceans" and "Closer to the Edge" today and doodle the Yes logo onto a denim jacket.

Jellybaby1 · 03-07-2015 8:19pm

I'll pass that on to himself as he'd know him probably. I am not good on d'oul individual rock band members.

Jellybaby1 · 10-07-2015 7:00pm

Omar Sharif has died in Cairo, aged 83 years. Now I have to pull out my copy of Lawrence.......always, always loved that film, music, scenery, story, acting, fair blonde blue-eyed O'Toole, and dark, sultry, mystical Sharif......fab!

Quite a shock.....Cilla Black, died in Spain

cml387 · 02-08-2015 6:16pm

probably her best song (and one she found the most difficult) was Alfie, for the soundtrack.

This Youtube clip shows the efforts she went through.

Always a big fan of Minder myself. I don't think the BBC would have done Only Fools & Horses only for it.

Read recently that during the run of Minder, George Cole was in a restaurant when he heard someone exclaim 'the world is your lobster'. He knew immediatly that it would be a perfect line for Arfur.

He paid his fellow diner £25 on the spot for his trouble.

RIP George
