tamthebam Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Jim Radford at 92. Not well known as he was a Yorkshire folk singer and peace campaigner but having joined the Royal Navy at 15 he is reckoned to have been the youngest participant in the Normandy landings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Week 44 update One death this week, the actor Geoffrey Palmer: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/nov/06/geoffrey-palmer-obituary Quote At first a dour and dignified supporting actor, usually playing figures of authority and moral rectitude, Geoffrey Palmer, who has died aged 93, became a television star in three highly popular series. In each, he punctured his own apparent pomposity with a comedy technique that made him attractive and funny to audiences over several decades. I first saw him on the West End stage in a small role in a routine courtroom drama, Difference of Opinion, at the Garrick in 1964; he and most of the cast, led by Raymond Huntley and Robert Beattie, were men in suits talking earnestly about nothing much I can remember. Fifty years later, he was virtually a national treasure, the voice of the Audi car commercials and the narrator of the TV talking-heads show Grumpy Old Men. “I am not grumpy,” he said. “I just look this way.” He used that look – bloodhound face, jowly and still, hooded eyes – and an armoury of slow-burn reactions and minimal gestures accompanied by a voice of mellow fruitiness, to score countless laughs, opposite Leonard Rossiter in David Nobbs’s The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (1976-79); Wendy Craig in Carla Lane’s Butterflies (1978-83); and, most resoundingly, Judi Dench in Bob Larbey’s As Time Goes By (1992-2005). As ever with an actor, let's see what I recognise him from. I recognise his face. Going by his imdb I have Tomorrow Never Dies and a single episode of Doctor Who but aside from that, he was before my time. I think the best I can do is the narration from this much missed concept: Palmer died at 93, so he's worth 32 Base Points. He was also a Deadly Duo for @speckled tangerine and @Sweaty Morph for a bonus 25, and a Vice-Captain bonus for speckled tangerine. That's 57 points for plasticine, 73 for overripe citrus fruit. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. Bishop Briggs 475 2. JustOneCornetto 464 3. thistledo 361 4. Ned Nederlander 342 5. chomp my root 337 6. Melanius Mullarkey 330 7. pub car king 326 8.
