Jovial UK TV host Terry Wogan has died aged 77. I think he’s possibly best known as the wry commenter of Eurovision.
After a short battle with cancer. At this point, I’m beginning to question the effectiveness of the NHS.
77 is a good innings.
British actor Frank Finlay has died too. I only really know him as the Witchsmeller Pursuivant in an episode of Blackadder, but he was a distinguished veteran of stage and screen.
Today is the last day of January. Could we please squeeze in someone from my list?
I’m still waiting for anyone from any of my lists, EVER, to fall on their sword for me.
I loved Frank Finlay as Porthos. Sorry to hear he is gone.
He was my favorite Porthos. Come to think of it, the entire movie was perfectly cast.

Kenny Sailors life just threw up an air ball.
A death certificate has been granted for Lord Lucan at 19 points.
Heh. A shirttail relative. My ancestors immigrated to America in the 1600’s, his stayed in Blighty.
Once considered for the role of James Bond, Lucan was a charismatic man with expensive tastes; he raced power boats and drove an Aston Martin.
