RIP thread for people involved in TV - Mod warning, see OP (21/08/25)

Markie Post has died at 70. Her most famous role was as the defender in Night Court, (which is getting a reboot/sequel produced by and starring Melissa Rauch), but she had a prolific career. She was Elliot's mom in Scrubs:

Loved night court...

Showing my age here, but I remember her from The Fall Guy too.

**** cancer.

Won't lie, this one hits hard. WKYK were one of those sketch troupes that did some amazing sketches on their show, WKYK. They garnered lots of attention on their youtube videos, some of which would never get made today. Most notably, The Grapist, and 'Recklessly irresponsible Television'.

And my personal favourite.

Very sad news. RIP.

Yep, loved The Fall Guy.

Alex Cord, star of Airwolf, has died aged 88.

Sad to hear about Una Stubbs

When I was a child I remember being weirdly obsessed with Give Us A Clue, the panel show on which she was a team captain (opposite Lionel Blair). I'd be getting annoyed when the girls team got easier clues than the boys, and celebrating when Lionel pulled off a bonus point and turned the game around.

I remember being shocked when I was watching Worzel Gummidge and my Dad says "Aunt Sally is Una from Give Us A Clue", I thought she just did Give Us A Clue as a full time job. It would have been like seeing Kenny Dalglish also worked in a Shoe Shop when he wasn't playing football.

Obviously, I got to appreciate her main gig as a fine character actor later in life, but she was always Una from Give Us A Clue to me. RIP.

You’ve jogged my memory 👍

By God is this true ref being an author, ref some of hers so

Very sad, loved him on 8 out of 10 cats.

Didn't know he had cancer, RIP

So sad to hear about Sean Lock's passing, he was always great on 8 Out Of 10 Cats. There was a time on a few of those shows a year or so back when he didn't look or sound well, I remember my wife mentioning it when we were watching. 58 is no age at all. RIP.

Ah very sad. I thought he was excellent. As mentioned, loved his delivery and his type of humour.

From EOOTCDC - Not from his stand up, but funny. 😁

Really shocked about Sean. Had no idea he was ill. RIP
