This has become reminiscent of watching Dad's Army in the 1980's with my Dad saying "he's dead" everytime someone walked on screen.

Amazed to read that Robert Fyfe was in a big Hollywood film like Cloud Atlas.

He had a cameo in the awful Chan & Coogan Around the world in 80 days too.

An absolutely brilliant jazz saxophonist although somewhat overlooked in discussions about great musicians. Worked with Van Morrison and James Brown over the years. Another genius down. RIP x

Yeah, the survivors now are pretty much Glenda, Barry, one of the Policemen, Hobbo (Russ Abbott), and Alvin (Brian Murphy from off of out of George And Mildred and Man About The House). 

I remember Barry basically melting rather than getting older. I genuinely thought Russ Abbott had passed away.

Now you could say that's just late 90s wrestling in general

Brian D. Goldner, Chairman and CEO of toy company Hasbro, has passed away from cancer aged 58 just 24 hours after announcing he was taking a leave of absence from the company due to the illness

He made some great library music for KPM and Bruton Music (which is where the Channel 4 News theme comes from). There's some great flips of his work in hip hop. I'm sure UNKLE sampled him on Psyence Fiction.

Alan Hawkshaw that composed the themes to Grange Hill (And Give Us A Clue), Countdown, Channel 4 News, and probably more has passed away at the age of 84.

Sad times, got into listening to Grandstand theme a lot  a while back, that lead me to finding the KPM Allstar gigs, where his Hammond Organ stuff is amazing. 

Wrote all sorts of themes and library music.  Hells Angels on Speed and Excitement is excellent. Wrote thebLove Hurts theme sung by Peter Polycarpou as well. 

Loads of work for charity and his daughter was lead singer of Opus III. 

RIP
