    Cripes I've seen zombie threads in my time but this one might just take the biscuit!

    Edit:Rip Donall Farmer. It's kind of scary to think about how many of Glenroe's main cast are no longer with us. Dinny, Miley, Teasy, Stephen and now Fr Devereux.

    Magician and master of sleight of hand Ricky Jay died aged 72.

    He was The Amazing Maleeni in The X- Files and had a recurring role in The Unit and starred in season 1 of Deadwood.

    RIP.

    I was listening to a Fresh Air piece remembering him. A great storyteller and magician, he used this (not his) as a pitch when he was in the carnival. Typos and mispronunciations are intentional.
    Show time, circus time. See the magician, the fireman, apple-eater, the girl with yellow, elastic tissue, the electrode lady. Yes, the electrode lady. At the age of 7, she and her sister were struck by lightning. Her sister died, but she lived to tell the tale - 20,000 volts of electricity through the young girl's body. The doctor said she lived because she was immune to the shock of electricity. See the monster child, the monster child from Johannesburg sat out. I got a monster child with one head, two bodies, three arms and four legs. You read about it in your leading periodicals. You read about it in the National Enquirer. See Adam and Eve, boy and girl, brother and sister, all in one - one of the world's three living morphodites (ph) who will expose itself, not to be rude or vulgar but to show you one of mother nature's corious mistakes. Show time, circus time, lets go - be going. They're all on the inside. They're on the inside.

    Aw.

    But if you had said 108 I'd have believed you.

    Agreed. I thought she was already about 88 when she was on the TV back in the 90s or whenever.

    Gutted to hear Bob Einstein aka 'Super Dave Osborne', who played Marty Funkhouser on Curb in recent years, has died aged 76. He'd been recently diagnosed with cancer.

    I found his Super Dave skits on Youtube a few months back and thought they were great. Here's my favourite:




    Also loved his jokes whenever he was on with Norm Macdonald (note NSFW):




    Thought he was great on Curb too. Love the episode where Larry is baffled that Marty considers him his best friend. Very talented performer.

    Complaining about swearing, sex and violence? Think you - and the Daily Mail tbh - misinterpreted what she was saying.

    William Morgan Sheppard, passed away aged 86 on Sunday. RIP.


    Father of Mark Sheppard.

    I was watching Fr Ted recently and had the same thought. Apart from Dermot Morgan and Frank Kelly many of the original cast and some involved in creating the show are now deceased. Most recently, Rio Fanning who played Fr Frost passed away just last November. He had quite a career and was also in Dr Who and Eastenders among other things.

    Wasn't entirely sure where to post this but it had to go somewhere and he did TV work - comic Jeremy Hardy has died at just 57 from cancer. For those who don;t know him, he was very much a political (left wing) humourist but one that was actually amusing and talented so you didn't need to buy his beliefs to laugh.

    He was a regular on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue on BBC radio and was legendary for his singing voice.

    Thanks for posting this - I hadn't heard, and I'm saddened to read it.

    I loved him on The News Quiz, and was thinking that I hadn't heard him on it in a while.

    No more candlelit suppers for him. He was still working up until a year or so ago. Not many actors work steadily for over 50 years.

    Just heard Clive Swift in a BBC radio play playing Hitchcock to Patrick Stewarts Raymond Chandler. What a voice.
    And great that Keeping up Appearances brought him to popular attention.

    Ah no, loved him in keeping up appearances.

    Made the Richard character a perfect foil for the hyacinth character.

    Carmen Argenziano -- who's perhaps best known from "Stargate SG-1" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

    The Pennsylvania-born actor has starred in tons of TV shows and movies over the course of his 5-decade career, including "The Rockford Files," "Lou Grant," "Heartbeat," "Booker," "L.A. Law," "Melrose Place," "Sisters," "CSI: NY," "The Young and the Restless" and, of course, 'SG-1' ... where he played Jacob Carter from 1998 to 2005

    Ah no - he'll always be known as Jacob Carter/selmak. He played the character well until he was killed off in season 8.
