Miguel Sanchez Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Week 36 update Two deaths this week. First up, the actor John Cairney: Scottish actor John Cairney has died aged 93 - BBC News Quote The actor John Cairney, who found fame playing Robert Burns on stage and screen, has died at the age of 93. The Glasgow-born actor also appeared in the films Jason and the Argonauts and the Titanic drama A Night to Remember. He trained at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD) and was a critically acclaimed stage actor before becoming a regular on television and in films. In later life he became an acclaimed painter. John Cairney was born in 1930 in the Baillieston area of Glasgow. He briefly attended art college but dropped out to pursue the life of an actor. After drama school, where he met his first wife Sheila, he began a successful career in the theatre. He was in the British premiere of Arthur Miller's The Crucible in Bristol and played Hamlet at Glasgow's Citizens Theatre. His most famous film role came in 1963's adventure Jason and The Argonauts, where his character is crushed to death by the living bronze statue, Talos. Spoilers. Cairney died at 93 so he's worth 32 Base Points, with a Solo Shot taking @The DA's total to 82 points. ============ Second death this week was TV comedian and impersonator Mike Yarwood: TV comedian and impersonator Mike Yarwood dies aged 82 | TV comedy | The Guardian Quote Mike Yarwood, the television comedian and renowned impersonator, has died in hospital aged 82, the Royal Variety Charity has announced.

The Mike Yarwood Show in 1977 had one of the largest single Christmas Day audiences ever for a British TV programme, at 21.4 million viewers. The Royal Variety Charity said it was deeply saddened to announce his death, saying: “He leaves behind an immeasurable void in the entertainment industry.” Luckily, if you're not ancient and have no idea what all this means, there's a nice compilation on youtube: Yarwood died at 82 so he's worth 43 Base Points for @peasy23 and @Scorge. peasy gets a Deadly Duo bonus for 68 points, Scorge adds a Vice-Captain for 90 points.

alta-pete Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 23 hours ago, Oystercatcher said: I could have sworn Richard O Sullivan died years ago, I loved the TV show dick Turpin in the 70s when I was a kid, the title music is up there with the flashing blade for swashbuckling excitement. I remember being saddened about his death years ago so clearly I'm caught up in an alternative universe Richard O’Sullivan was a staple of my DP team for too many years simply because my research said he was frail in an actors nursing home and I could find nothing else. Looking at that tweet from @peasy23 he looks in rude health for a man of his age - especially c/w Yarwood. Don’t think he’ll even trouble my subs bench again for years yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please leave a note for Mrs Peasy that steak pie and boiled tatties seem the PnB preferred purvey of choice. None of that sausage roll pish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of that sausage roll pish. A P & B Deadpool funeral would be surreal. Would we all wear name badges or try and guess who each other is.... For the record, I'd be happy with either steak pie or sausage rolls as long as there's plenty of loud mouth soup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
