Miguel Sanchez Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Week 33 update Two deaths this week. The first is, as reported by Aim Here, actually from some time ago, the writer D.M. Thomas: DM Thomas obituary | Books | The Guardian Quote Once established as a writer, he ran creative writing courses at the Arvon and Skyros centres in various locations, and at his own home. An inspired and inspiring teacher, he acquired the status of a literary guru among certain female admirers of The White Hotel. His belief that sex, art and literature were at the very centre of life was palpable to his fans. To others less enamoured, his self-absorption was repellent. Some interesting stuff in there about a writer I'm not familiar with, but I enjoyed that passage the most. Given there must be at least ten mentions of him being a rampant shagger in that obituary, I'm assuming he or a close friend wrote it. Thomas died at 88 so he's worth 37 Base Points for @ThomCat. A Captain bonus doubles that, with a Solo Shot for an extra 50 giving him 124 points. I should also point out here that, as with every year, I do a manual check of everyone on the list who hasn't died to make sure I haven't missed anyone. During the year the only real way I have of tracking deaths is looking at the list of recent deaths on Wikipedia, so if a rare name I don't immediately recognise is up I'm not always guaranteed to get it. If you know someone dies, get on it. ==================== Second death this week was insurance salesman Michael Parkinson: Sir Michael Parkinson obituary | Michael Parkinson | The Guardian Quote There was a time – several decades, actually – when Sir Michael Parkinson, who has died aged 88 after a brief illness, was one of the most ubiquitous figures on national television. He was not the first to host a chatshow but he was the most durable and versatile, largely because he saw himself as a journalist rather than a broadcasting personality. He was also able to present a variety of programmes on both radio and television, and write insightful weekly columns, mainly about the sports he loved – primarily cricket – for a succession of national newspapers. With his wry, confiding demeanour and his characteristic facial twitchiness, asking polite but occasionally convoluted questions in his soft Yorkshire accent, often while fiddling self-consciously with his hair or scratching his nose, he interviewed more than 2,000 guests over 20 years, ranging from Hollywood actors to favoured sports stars, actors and comedians, and occasionally literary and intellectual figures, on his eponymous show. One thing that's struck me as I've been reading about his life is something I've mentioned before with respected television figures. The Parkinson-style chat show doesn't exist any more and that's largely because of the way media has changed. Aside from nobody watching TV any more, the overall media landscape has changed to render chat shows largely irrelevant. Promotional media for new releases is managed by the people already involved. Sportspeople are press-managed to within an inch of their lives. Anyone else has a Twitter account and can sell themselves. And now nobody has an attention span of more than a minute, so who's going to watch an old man interviewing someone from the internet? He retired when I was 15 so I'm not going to say he was a big part of my life, but moments like this are just reminders that the world is changing and I'm not always convinced it's for the better. Parkinson died at 88 so he's worth 37 Base Points for @cdhafc1874, @HI HAT, @mathematics, @ParsJake, @superwell87 and @Willie adie.
