Week 20 update
Two deaths this week. Up first, Super Gran Gudrun Ure: Gudrun Ure obituary | Children's TV | The Guardian
I think it's probably fair to say that for many posters, a part of their childhood has gone this week. What I can mainly say here is that she's the only person named Gudrun I've ever heard of.
Ure died at 98 so she's worth 27 Base Points for @badgerthewitness (we are checking), @tamthebam and @The Naitch.
==================
Second death this week is the writer Alice Munro: Alice Munro, Nobel winner and titan of the short story, dies aged 92 | Alice Munro | The Guardian
Here's a funny picture from her Wikipedia page:
Somewhat similarly to Paul Auster the other week, I can say I've read one of her works and enjoyed it. The View From Castle Rock is a collection of short stories which effectively all go together to tell the story of her family's emigration from Fife to Canada in the 1800s. The title story is available online here: “The View from Castle Rock,” by Alice Munro | The New Yorker
Munro died at 92 so she's worth 33 Base Points for @ThomCat and, er, me. We get a Deadly Duo bonus for a total of 58 points.
