Rick Buckler (The Jam) 69.

Fuck! Obviously worse than he was letting on, posted a month or so ago saying he was ill

 

[Tony Towner]

Bruce Foxton retiring this year too

 

[The Saturday Boy]

This is silly isn't it? Given that she's his grand daughter?

You mean Ken is Gary's grandfather!!!

Roberta Flack, great singer.

One of the best, along with Donny Hathaway, the music both me and my Wife embraced when we were kids.

When I started listening to music seriously I was a confirmed 'rocker' so would have poo poo'd that style of music. As I got older I came to realise good music is good music whatever the genre, Flack very much came into that.

 

[ROVERT47]

Yeah, it was either Led Zeppelin etc or Soul music back then, obviously the latter for me and the missus.

Ralph Jezzard probably unknown to many has died. He was the man that propelled EMF to stardom helping produce Unbelievable and many other hits for EMF.

Henry Kelly. I was quite fond of Going for Gold for some reason.

Me too, used watch it before I started my afternoon shifts.

 

[The Bear]

I liked watching it in the afternoon too.

I remember the 90s conspiracy theory that the contestants weren't actually from all over Europe, they were all British people doing comedy foreign accents

Was a good quiz though.

About the only decent daytime TV back in 1989 when I was immobilised by a broken leg for weeks on end - I was in plaster for 17! Seem to recall a large Norwegian bloke was very successful, but Deutsch has now got me wondering if he was really from Dudley.

 

[Jack Regan]

Michelle Trachtenberg 39.

Probably most famous for playing Buffy's sister on four seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

 

[Keef]

The antivaxxers already out in force blaming it on the vaccine, because people never died young before that

 

[Jack Regan]

Gene Hackman (95) and his wife Betsy and their dog.

 

[jd1981]

That sounds very much like carbon monoxide poisoning only speculation. But sounds awful, brilliant versatile actor who did many roles.

The former train driver? That's a shame. He was the only one that wasn't a smarmy twat.

I used to fucking love it when that wanker CJ went off on his 'of course I know this, my God it's so easy' spiel and then he ended up being wrong. Pipe down, cocknose.
