    The BBC has done another good summary or tribute to those celebs who died this year, it will be shown on BBC News 24 every so often and of course it's on iPlayer. You might wish for some non-Bond clips for Connery but when you watch it you can see why they did it that way...

    Mark Eden has died at the age of 92. A veteran of Dr Who, The Avengers, The Prisoner but perhaps best known for his stint on Coronation St as Alan Bradley, RIP.

    'You'll Never Walk Alone' - what a top record. He didn't write it, which is like saying The Beatles didn't write 'Twist and Shout'. True, but not really the point.

    It's brilliant.

    One of my go-to records with a glass of French Malbec, like Sinatra's 'My Way'.

    Not sure I'll play it tonight however, it might be a bit much if you see what I mean.

    I’m sad to hear of the death of Gerry Marsden...

    Gerry and the Pacemakers were the first band/group to have their first three singles all to No.1 in the singles chart...

    He will be missed YNWA -{

    RIP Tanya Roberts--she's taken a lot of knocks for her Stacy Stutton (and other roles), but she seemed to have a good sense of humor about herself.

    Sad and shocking news about the death of Tanya Roberts. I always liked her in AVTAK and she seemed to be a nice person in real life too. She invited me to a Zoom appearance on Twitter last year but I didn't get a chance to attend sadly.

    Sad news to wake up to,today! RIP Tanya Roberts. I've always liked her scenes with Roger in AVTAK. I've always liked Bond looking after Stacey..

    Echo what a lot of us must be thinking. Tanya Roberts will never be my fav Bond girl, but she fitted in well on the back of the fluff that was 1980s Charlie's Angel's, and she'll forever be this former teenager's Sheena Queen of the Jungle. Probably, in all honesty, one the best looking Bond heroines we ever had, 80s hair and all. RIP and much too soon.

    It was certainly a shock to hear of the death of Tanya Roberts - and only 65 :o

    I just read Tanya Roberts was married in 1974 and stayed married to the same man until his death in 2006. That's rare in Hollywood. She collapsed on Christmas Eve in her home of unknown reasons, but allegedly it wasn't Covid-19.

    This is Tanya's boyfriend apparently getting the news she's actually still alive on live TV:

    This is too bizarre for words.

    The crazy thing is that the husband/partner/boyfriend said yesterday that he was with her when she died. "As I held her in her last moments, she opened her eyes. I was able to see her beautiful eyes one last time. Tanya had the most beautiful eyes."

    Hell, this story has got better legs on it than AVTAK

    He does unfortunately remind me of Danny DeVito's cheating husband in Ruthless People when he's informed that his wife Bette Midler is still alive...

    Seems that Tanya Roberts only lives twice - although by the look of News reports she's still in a critical condition. Let's hope that she makes a full and speedy recovery.

    Sadly it seems that Tanya Roberts died for real last night, aged 65. The source is TMZ again so make of that what you will:
