Tom Palmer, who used to ink much of Gene Colan's work on Marvel Comics' exemplary Tomb of Dracula series (amongst many other things) has passed away at age 81. RIP

I kind of feel like she needs her own thread. She had a long and interesting life, and for a while it seemed like she'd live forever. Sad to hear of her passing.

What a pity, what a tremendous pity. I greatly loved her role of Miss Price in Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

I think Bedknobs and Broomsticks may be the only film I've seen twice at the cinema

Found out about her death here. Sent a text to my sister. ☹️ One of my family’s favorite actresses. Bedknobs & Broomsticks, Mrs. Potts in Beauty & the Beast, Murder She Wrote (inspired me to use the typewriter more), Dowager Empress in Anastasia. Reading now the amazing tributes to her. RIP

I enjoyed him in Cracker also. And I’ve been meaning to watch Alfresco which he was in with Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie and Ben Elton. In terms of guest appearances, I enjoyed him playing one of Daphne’s brothers in the Fraiser finale Goodnight Seattle.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Cracker was a revelation: I’d seen him in so many comedies and to let him loose like that in a procedural was incredible. 72 is far too young.

And of course, Robbie played Dr. Samuel Johnson in the Blackadder the Third episode Ink and Incapability.

on Wednesdays I have been listening to old radio comedy. currently listening to an old series with Jon Pertwee and Leslie Philips ("left hand down a bit") In memory, I'll fit this weeks episodes aboard the HMS Troutbridge a day early edit - coincidently one of the episodes I ended up listening to was "When Sub Lt Phillips was at Dartmouth" so very focussed on his character

Oh dear……that’s sad shame he will mostly be remembered for be the very un PC letch figure in so many British comedy’s or the voice of the sorting hat in Harry Potter
Shame because there was so much more to him

And he was Knox in Medicinal Purposes and Assassin In The Limelight for Doctor Who purposes, of course.
