[CaptainWacky]

I remember he was in Doctor Who then did an interview with the Doctor Who Magazine where he made it clear he hated being in Doctor Who.

Oh someone put it in Twitter.



He was good in Keeping Up Appearances!

Also British comedian Jeremy Hardy died at just 57 from cancer: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/feb/01/comedian-jeremy-hardy-dies-of-cancer-aged-57

Peter Tork of The Monkees.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Katherine Helmond, of the sitcoms Soap, Who's The Boss, Coach, Everybody Loves Raymond, and three Terry Gilliam films.

 

[The Question]

Just read about that. 89 isn't a bad run. What's going to hit really hard is when Betty White goes.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Katherine Helmond, of the sitcoms Soap, Who's The Boss, Coach, Everybody Loves Raymond, and three Terry Gilliam films.

I loved Soap when I watched it in the early nineties.

 

[Love Child]

I don't think I have ever seen that show, but I remember that house in the beginning song. You find the best videos Eggs.
I enjoyed reading Alysa Milano's posts about Katherine on twitter, she had a couple videos also.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I actually posted that scene to YouTube years ago. It's my all-time favorite scene from the show. (Check the account name)

It's the one YT video I've posted from a TV show or movie that wasn't taken down for copyright blahblah.

 

[Love Child]

Ha Ha! I didn't even notice the account name. I just found the show full seasons on Youtue and watched S1 Ep1 and saw Robert Guillame as Benson DuBois-who was the same Benson on that show. Wow, cool. Also wow-he had such a long list of shows and movies. Rafiki from Lion King. : ( I mean, I knew he was on a lot of stuff, I just didn't know what shows he was on before Benson.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Yup, Benson was a spinoff of Soap. It lasted several more seasons than Soap did, too.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Keith Flint from The Prodigy (yes, the twisted firestarter) commited suicide: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47442312

EDIT: Jesus, just saw that Luke Perry died too. Riverdale is a pretty shit show but he was always good in it. Pretty shockig: https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/luke-perry-dead-dies-90210-riverdale-1203154263/

 

[Love Child]
