    The Film forum has a similar thread to this and I thought it would be a good idea to do it for the Television forum.

    John Heard has died aged 72.

    Probably best known for being the Dad in Home Alone.

    But he was in The Sopranos which he was nominated for an Emmy for his role as a dirty cop.

    Also starred in Prison Break as Sara's Dad.

    Deborah Watling, who played Victoria on 'Doctor Who' in the '60s, died aged 69 URL="http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-40684318"]source[/URL. Unfortunately, due to BBC idiocy, much of her adventures have been lost but she got to star in the classic 'Tomb of the Cybermen', which featured the Telosian cybermen for the first time I believe.

    He was fantastic. Also something of an historian. He scripted and presented a documentary on Gordon of Khartoum. I was only watching it last week. But I loved him in All CGAS. A little bit eccentric in the role of Siegfried but just great. RIP

    Robert Hardy was one of a long line of actors who played Winston Churchill in TV dramas over the years. Newer members of the club include our own Brendan Gleeson and most recently John Lithgow in 'The Crown'.

    Outside of acting, I believe Hardy was a bit of a world expert in the field of archery - the history of bows and arrows.

    Former BBC Look North and Tyne Tees presenter Mike Neville has died aged 80.

    While he was barely known outside of North East England (aside from a few appearances on the BBC's Nationwide), he was to that region what Richard Whiteley was to Yorkshire and Fred Dinenage is to the South.

    That's really weird, I was just looking at a few clips from Sopranos last night on youtube, something I haven't done in years, and just before I went off to bed I watched an interview with Frank Vincent talking about his time on the Sopranos.

    RIP Frank

    William G. Stewart, host of quiz show Fifteen to One on Channel 4, has passed away. He was 84.

    Presenting a game show was probably the least of William G Stewart's achievements in the tv industry. As a producer he was behind Father, Dear Father, Love Thy Neighbour (cough!), Bless This House, My Good Woman, Spooner's Patch, The Rag Trade, Family Fortunes, Don't Forget Your Toothbrush and The Price is Right and had his own company.

    Gutted to hear of William G Stewart's passing. And so soon after Brucie's, too. :(:(:(:(

    I was, and still am, a huge fan of the original Fifteen-to-One. Among its many great moments was Bill McKaig's maximum 433 score in 1999:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9vIGc9uPIQ


    There was also this out-take where William dropped his question cards. Incidentally, the contestant at number 7 is future Millionaire winner Ingram Wilcox. :D

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p02zKfDsM-Y


    And, of course, he mentioned the Elgin Marbles whenever he could - being a fervent supporter of the campaign to return them to Greece. ;)

    In its early years, Fifteen-to-One alternated with Countdown every three months, before Channel 4 quite rightly decided to commission them concurrently from autumn 1996. Not surprisingly, Richard Whiteley and Carol Vorderman were among the contestants on a celebrity edition of FTO in 1990, while William chaired a game of Countdown between Richard and Carol at Christmas 1997... :D

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7El5LFb2_mo

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSrJ20IE2Zc


    Susie hasn't changed a bit, has she? :D;)

    Turning to the shows William produced, he'd always get the Price is Right studio audience excited by playing "Land of Hope and Glory" at full volume while wearing a pink tracksuit. No, seriously. :D:D

    And on Family Fortunes, he actually had a role in the Turkey Incident. After the recording finished, the understandably embarrassed Johnson family asked Max Bygraves how much money would be taken not to broadcast the show. Max consulted William, who then had to explain to the family that each episode cost £38,000 to make. They wisely chose not to pursue the matter further... :D

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHiGT_odU2Y


    The word "legend" is overused these days - but I don't think it can be denied that William was one.

    He will be greatly missed. :(

    Never realised just exactly what he did other than 15-1- such a huge backlog of TV memories there.

    Monty Hall passed away last Saturday aged 96.

    He co-created and hosted Let's Make a Deal - while also lending his name to the famous probability brain teaser, loosely based on this show, that involves three doors, a car and two goats. ;)
