I was amused to see that One of Hancock's rep company, Totti Truman Taylor is listed on Wiki under the catagory of "possibly living people"...

Re: Still With Us
As mentioned on the radio board, Denis Norden at 91. Great to hear him again.
Re: Still With Us
The Great Egg Race was mentioned elsewhere, so I think Heinz Wolff deserves a mention at 85.
Re: Still With Us
A couple of actors retired but still with us at 88, Bernard Hepton and Alec McCowen.

Tonight's (16 December 2013) edition P.M. on BBC Radio 4 will include a feature on the feud between the two ladies, for those interested in such things. I am, and will be listening...Mark C Bale wrote:And the feuding Hollywood sisters......

Re: Still With Us
Slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I was watching The Goodies' Kitten Kong this evening and it occurred to me that all of the animals featured in the episode would have passed away decades ago.
Until the scene where Graeme is taking Colin the tortoise for a walk. Due to a tortoise's long life-span, it is quite feasible that Colin the tortoise is still alive.

My only contribution to this thread is now no longer "still with us" having passed away earlier this year.SgtPepper wrote:Iris Russell (Jean Skinner in Timeslip) turned 91 last week.

Re: Still With Us
It's a little scary to think that the likes of Des O'Connor and Michael Parkinson belong in this thread.
Re: Still With Us
It's alarming when you realise that everyone you remember from when you were growing-up is either dead or over 70!SgtPepper wrote:It's a little scary to think that the likes of Des O'Connor and Michael Parkinson belong in this thread.
I was relieved the other day when I heard that Peter 'Herman' Noone is neither of the above.

Well known also as the Grange Hill caretaker. He used to be a familiar site around my town but I haven't seen him for a few years now.tiswas2 wrote:and a favourite of mine - the underrated George A Cooper ( Billy Liar, Z-Cars, The Avengers, The Saint etc ) aged 91

Roy Dotrice, now 93, has been in two episodes of Game of Thrones broadcast in 2012
Re: Still With Us
Roger Moore has been mentioned a couple of times during the radio commentary from Wimbledon. 88 years old (gasp). Sir John Hurt has also been in the crowd, but I guess these days 76 isn't seen as old.

Private F, I am thinking of going to that show just to see him, does Peter sing many songs?Private Frazer wrote:He sang the hits just the same when we saw him recently in the 'Solid Silver 60's Show'.brigham wrote:It's alarming when you realise that everyone you remember from when you were growing-up is either dead or over 70!

Re: Still With Us
He was on last and, with the earlier performing Dave Berry a close second, was the star of the show. Sang for about 30mins including 'I'm into something good', 'Somethings happening', 'Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter' (which I didn't know but liked) and 'Silhouettes'. I was sure he would finish with 'A kind of hush' - but we had to slip out to catch the last bus home!jubbely wrote:Private F, I am thinking of going to that show just to see him, does Peter sing many songs?Private Frazer wrote:He sang the hits just the same when we saw him recently in the 'Solid Silver 60's Show'.brigham wrote:It's alarming when you realise that everyone you remember from when you were growing-up is either dead or over 70!
