    I loved him in the new BSG. His character in this series was so good that
    I was sad to see him die during the last season
    . And now he's gone for good.

    And now another one :

    Never heard about him, but he sure seems to have been a very funny guy.

    Alec McCowen, who did such a wonderful job as Q (Algernon) in NSNA, has died.

    Sad to hear that, I quite like Algernon in NSNA. Made for a fun, witty ally of Bond's. RIP, Mr. McCowen.

    He was a good actor and had been made a CBE for services to the performing arts
    But mostly we will remember him for an exploding Pen !!!.....
    RIP Alec no more gratuitous sex and violence for you then .

    RIP Tara Palmer Tomkinson!

    Lady socialite over here in the UK! 45 is no age in today's terms. She was a Bond fan and as a younger lad I remember seeing photo's in the papers of her in a Honey Rider outfit at some party she was going too.

    I remember she featured briefly in the "Best Ever Bond" 2002 ITV documentary.

    A sad loss. IMHO the writing in Steptoe was some of the best ever seen on TV. Just superb character and when a sit-com tranforms into sad/pathos (as with Only Fools) , a sign of genuine drama.

    For those who like manga, mangaka Jirō Taniguchi died last weekend. A true narrative master with a huge culture of Western - in the "occidental" sense of the word: he was, for imsance, a friend of Jean "Moebius" Giraud - comics, famous for his slow-paced stories, generally slice of life and mountaineering, he also was - and it's often forgotten - a legitimate master of noir-genre/thriller stories.

    Actress Sarah Coward passed away last week, aged 69 :

    I'm not familiar with that radio soap. Still, that effing cancer claims another victim.

    My dad listens to The Archers religiously so he'd probably know who she was.

    Sorry to hear about your colleague @Thunderfinger.
