Tough beginnings. Decent guy. Old school.

I remember him in Fawlty Towers as a fussy guest who incurred Basil's wrath!

"Why don't you talk properly?" A great line.

Ex Arsenal centre half and manager Terry Neil has died aged 80, I always remember his softly spoken Irish accent. RIP.
Another two guys I remember from my childhood sadly passed today.

'the water babies' (universal cert iirc) is an early memory of where I know him from. (thought wrongly he narrated 'mr benn') RIP BC.

RIP to the big man but If anybody ever wrote anything like that about me with even 10% of the emoji content I would be coming back up and dragging them straight down to the firey pit to join me.

Absolute legend.
The greatest winner in American team sports.
A life incredibly well-lived and on his own terms.
RIP

She nearly quit Trek until Martin Luther King pointed out to her what a role model her part was was for the black community. Part of a truly inspirational series. RIP.

I was luckily enough to meet Nichelle once back in 2002. She was brilliant. Signed all sorts of memorabilia for me and we spoke for about 20 mins. Watching reruns of Trek in the 80s with my dad is one of my favourites I have.

Boldly go and see Doohan, Nimoy and Kelly once again.

Thoughts with her family and the remaining cast of Star Trek; Will, Patel and George.
