Just Some Guy Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 She had a wonderful career. It's nice to see women of Dame Diana's generation still working. She was in the reboot of All Creatures Great & Small this week. Just been reminded of her horrifying turn in Dr Who.
cobra_gordo Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 She was probably one of my favourite things about Game Of Thrones and easily had the most triumphant ending. I don't think any other actress could have done that scene anywhere near the justice she did.
Hugh Thesz Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Sorry to not be able to provide a link butbthe BBC has reported that Alan Minter has died.
Just Some Guy Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Loved Alan Minter. The first boxer I was really aware of growing up. According to Wikipedia he was responsible for killing This is your Life! It went out live and loads of people tuned in to see who would be that week's subject. Minter couldn't stop swearing. From then on they had to record it, which meant the papers could report who would getting the red book, ending the surprise element.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 11, 2020 Moderators Posted September 11, 2020 You won't like this post then sorry bud. I remember him being on Central Weekend Live in the mid 90s after Bradley Stone dying and saying that he used to box 15 rounds and he was OK and it should go back to that, as its a gladiators sport and all that guff. And his racist comments to Marvellous Marvin in public until he got shown by the man, but not until his words in the press whipped the crowd into such a frenzy Marvin Hagler said he'd never step on these shores ever again and Harry Carpenter himself said it was the worst night in Boxing he'd ever seen. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/that-1980s-sports-blog/2013/oct/03/alan-miller-marvin-hagler-1980-boxing-low-point So sorry to Lance Storm it, but balls to Alan Minter
Paid Members eugenespeed Posted September 12, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 12, 2020 According to their twitter, Toots from Toots and The Maytals has passed away.
Paid Members gmoney Posted September 12, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 12, 2020 Ah gutted. Toots and the Maytals are my dad's favourite band. I went to see them live in Brighton with him and the rest of my family a few years ago and they were fantastic. My dad was like a little kid at his first gig.
Wideload90 Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Very sad news about Toots, especially after listening to his latest release. I was fortunate enough to see them play live and it was great fun. A consistent back catalogue which guaranteed to get you moving. A sad loss.

She was bad-ass in that however lets not forget that she also let Daniel Radcliffe flick a condom onto her head. Legend

So sorry to Lance Storm it, but balls to Alan Minter Sorry, Butch I zoned out and hadn't realised it was a direct reply to my post. Do we need an "Embarrassing shit our heroes said" thread? Being 6 at the time of his winning the world title I wasn't watching the fights or aware of the racial aspect of the build up. I just heard that Britain had a world champion and "huzzah!" That's the place my post came from, and I've never looked more closely into it, so that article was a really interesting read. Thanks for sharing. As for the "I got smacked in the head for 15 rounds and it didn't do me any harm" bollocks. It's just an old bloke telling everyone it was better in his day. Shame.
Keith Houchen Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Michael Lonsdale, probably best known as Bond Villain Hugo Drax in Moonraker has died. A brilliant actor whose work often goes under the radar. If you haven’t seen Of Gods And Men, get on it.

He's also fantastic as Man Painting Tiny Soldiers Whilst Talking To Robert De Niro And Jean Reno in Ronin.

One of my favourite movies of all time is The Day of the Jackal starring Lonsdale as the detective Claude Lebel hunting down the Jackal. I think it's his best English speaking role as he plays it without the usual high drama that on-screen detectives of that era would have to ham up. Also as mentioned, his short part in Ronin was magnified by his presence alone.
cobra_gordo Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Jackie Stallone has died aged 98. Let's have a look at her best bits.
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Ahh, not Brackie Cracking series of Big Brother, that.
