    Noel Whelan has also passed away. Excellent political commentator and analyst.

    That's shocking - he was only 50. :eek:

    Shocked to hear about Noel Whelan's passing. Remember him being a regular contributor to election broadcasts. Very sad.

    Saddened to hear that news. Loved the episode of Father Ted he was in, and remember his stand-up shows being shown frequently in the 90s. He had his fun and that's all that matters.

    RTE 2 Airing the 'Father Ted' episode he is in at 21:00 or 21:30.





    Not sure of the time of airing, saorview guide has it on at 21:00
    But RTE and other listings at 21:30

    Desperately sad news. Such a tragically young age.
    Thoughts go out to her family

    She was brilliant in "Can't Cope, Won't Cope".

    I remember him from Star Trek The Next Generation, he played Patrick Stewart's brother Robert Picard in one episode.
    And he was the malevolent Dr Grimesby Roylott in the ITV Sherlock Holmes adaptation of The Speckled Band with Jeremy Brett as Holmes.

    He also did the music in the first Broken Sword game. A perfect use of cinematic classical music in a game.

    RIP.
