So it won't come as any surprise the funeral for the legendary Shane Warne will be a State Funeral- no doubt will be televised all throughout Australia- maybe in the cricketing nation countries (?). Hasn't really hit me yet- I just feel for hie ex and the 3 children, leave them alone (journalists) - have you not learned anything from Princess Diana?
GGRRRR

I always find it interesting how every journalist I have ever spoken to has always strongly advised not going into the business. In fact, many moons ago when I was at primary school we had a journalist come in to talk to our class about his experiences, the profession, etc. For the next two hours, he basically told us all never to go into the profession as it was “morally degrading” and proceeded to tell us some real horror stories about fellow journalists being viciously attacked so as they couldn’t get the scoop or even being welded into telephone boxes! From the look of horror on my teacher’s face which I can still so clearly remember I don’t think he was ever invited back.

RIP Peter Bowles
Great actor, To The Manor Born is a personal favourite, although there was so much more to him than that

Peter Bowles was a great actor. I mostly remember him from Only When I Laugh and To The Manor Born But he was in many other series Some of which Big Finish have created ranges for Callan - He was Toby Meres in the original story in Armchair Theatre Adam Adamant Lives - 1 episode the Prisoner - "A" in the episode "A, B or C" The Avengers - 4 episodes as different characters - especially memorable for his role(s) in "Escape in Time" Survivors - in the first episode as Abby's husband David Space 1999 - 1 episode as immortal alien Balor and I also should mention Sarah Jane Adventures - as Sarah Jane's former editor in a 2-parter

This news was a real gut punch to wake up to this morning. Foo Fighters were one of my favourites growing up and remain so to this day. The Hawkins and Grohl pairing are the perfect match and it’s clear how much the pair adored each other. Check out their cover of Under Pressure, with Hawkins on singing duties: youtu.be/4vofALn_zHoRIP

British Icon June Brown. Famed for decades as Dot Cotton in Eastenders but a massive career elsewhere. For Who fans not in the UK..she played Lady Eleanor in The Time Warrior.

Jimmy Wang Yu, before Bruce Lee there was Jimmy who wrote & directed many of his own movies like Chinese Boxer, One Armed Boxer & of course he starred in The One Armed Swordsman movies.
Also The Man From Hong Kong co starring ex 007 George Lazenby.
Jimmy had a very shall we say colourful life but his movies always entertained.

Klaus Schulze, former member of Tangerine Dream amongst others and a prolific solo artist who specialised in huge instrumental atmospheric pieces, died today. 74 years and sadly gone - 74 seems a young age to me now I'm getting older. He was an electronic music-maker extraordinaire and will be really deeply missed. Much of his stuff is on YouTube if anyone fancies a listen.

Ann Davies, who played Jenny in Dalek Invasion Of Earth has passed away at 88. She was married to the icon Richard Briers (of Paradise Towers but trust me if you are not a Brit - he was in a LOT of brilliant, massive stuff!) and they have a daughter Lucy who reprised her mothers Jenny character for After The Daleks in last years Early Adventures.
