"His best known and longest role was as Corporal Percy Marsh in the RAF comedy Get Some In!, appearing from 1975 to 1978."
I've no recollection of that show at all.

I have a feeling it wasn’t shown on Grampian TV.
We probably had Top Club or something instead [emoji2373]

I wasn't in the Grumpian catchment area in those years, it was UTV which was my ITV channel.

100% shown on Grampian - I think around 7:30pm on a Tuesday or a Thursday.

Top Club was ace!

Week 37 update

Two deaths this week. Up first, former Girl Aloud, Sarah Harding: Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding dies aged 39 - BBC News

Quote

Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, 39, who had breast cancer, died on Sunday morning, her mother has said.

Harding revealed in August 2020 that she had been diagnosed with the disease, which had spread to other parts of her body.

Her mother Marie announced the news on Instagram, describing her "beautiful" daughter as "a bright, shining star".

Earlier this year Harding revealed doctors had told her she would not see another Christmas.

I think this was about the only one of their songs I thought was good:

Whenever someone who's relatively young dies of something like breast cancer, the overwhelming response is that it inspires people to be more aware of potential symptoms in their own body. Check yourself and never be afraid to have someone else look at it if you think it's necessary.

Harding was 39 when she died, so she's worth 86 Base Points for @Arabdownunder, @Arbroathlegend36-0, @Bert Raccoon, @Bishop Briggs, @cdhafc1874, @Curmudgeon, @El Guapo, @Enigma, @Fuctifano, @Indale Winton, @lichtgilphead, @mathematics, @Ned Nederlander, @pub car king, @qos_75, @sparky88, @speckled tangerine, @weejack and @Willie adie.

A Vice-Captain bonus returns 129 points for @Aim Here and @Arch Stanton, while a Captain bonus is worth 172 points for @psv_killie and @Sherrif John Bunnell.

Second death this week is the French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo: French film great Jean-Paul Belmondo dies at 88 - BBC News

Quote

Jean-Paul Belmondo's battered face, laconic style and roguish smile captured the imagination of French 1960s youth.

Belmondo, who has died at his Paris home aged 88, was the cool rebel of the new wave of French cinema typified in Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 film classic, A Bout de Souffle.

His moody performance as a doomed thief and Humphrey Bogart fan struck a chord and saw him dubbed the Gallic James Dean.

Later, he forsook arts cinema to become a highly bankable commercial actor, as at home in comedy as in drama.

Jean-Paul Belmondo was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a suburb of Paris on 9 Apr 1933, the son of Paul Belmondo, a sculptor whose statues grace many a Parisian park.

The intensely Bohemian atmosphere of his upbringing had a formative effect on him.

He failed at school and became an amateur boxer. In his short-lived career, he won 15 of his 23 bouts before giving up to concentrate on acting.

He died at 88 for 37 Base Points, with an extra 50 for @senorsoupe's Solo Shot returning 87 points.
