2016-17 Celeb Cull - Still No Respite...

[Sly Boots]

Paddington creator Michael Bond dies aged 91

The first series of books I can actually remember seeking out myself at our local library as a child and eagerly devouring, one of my formative experiences growing up.

RIP.

Barry Norman, R.I.P. used to love watching his Film '** reviews.

Damn. Back when Film(insert date here) was worth watching, I used his opinion as a benchmark for whether many a film was worth the entrance fee. Some of his unfavourable reviews were hilarious.

Anyone of my generation (38) would remember the Pink Windmill, of Rod Hull and Emu fame.

Well, Grotbags is the latest figure from my childhood to pass away:

George Romero has died after a short battle with lung cancer, aged 77.

RIP.

Shame. He might have made a whole bunch of crap movies but he's still the guy that made Night and it's still an incredible film that I have so much love for.

Maybe he'll rise from the grave?

[Dr@gon-UK]

Martin Landau gone too.

Anyone of my generation remember Space 1999? Bit camp & corny but typical 70's scifi fun.

[eVoL]

Only really know him from Ed Wood but hes fantastic in that.

[Rusty]

Martin Landau gone too.

Anyone of my generation remember Space 1999?

He will always be Commander Koenig (I hope I remembered that correctly). My friend had one of the eagles that actually fired missiles, but I had the MIllenium falcon so I won.

Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, now left the building. WTAF.

[Raid]

I think this is one we've been expecting for years, but it's no less sad.

Sir Bruce Forsyth dies aged 89

[Dr@gon-UK]

I was sure he had a pact with the devil.
Or a portrait hidden in his attic.

[Rossell]

Well, theres a man who definitely had his innings. Rip and thanks.

Also for those who don't know, he was older then sliced bread.

[Raid]

Hell, sliced bread is only 11 years older than his career, which started in 1939.

[Jez]

Thought he was a bit of an arse but fair play to him he gained a "special place" in the "hearts of the public".

Rip.
