    End of an era for BBC TV, as Jeremy Paxman hosts his last News night.

    Every time this thread pops to the top, I hear Rupert Grint as Ron Wealey from the Harry Potter films and books say "Anyone we know who's died?" - Then I see who has passed away and am miserable.

    My condolances to everyone who has lost someone dear to them, whether they have been mentioned in the thread or not.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    RIP Eli Wallach.
    I agree, a very talented actor, from comedy to psyco . Funny in interviews, I
    Always remember him saying about "The magnificent Seven" how he needed
    All those other guys round him when riding, as he said he was from New York
    and hadn't even seen a horse, let alone know how to ride one. -{

    This is the first I heard about Eli Wallach. A great actor with a long, long career. Rest in much-deserved peace.

    Terry Richards, a stuntman in many of the Bond films died this week at the age of 81. He was also known for his appearances in Star Wars and Indiana Jones series. RIP -{

    Was that him? I love that scene from TND. Something different in a Bond film fight at least.

    Yes that's him

    Very sorry to hear of his death. I take it he also appeared in other Bond films then as either a stuntman or actor?

    He also appeared in Raiders Of The Lost Ark as the swordsman that Indy shoots casually.

    TND was the only Bond film Where he had a speaking part.

    He was a stuntman in OHMSS and GF as well

    Yes, I read that in an obituary but to be honest I had no idea that was the same man! What a legend!

    The Bond films were so lucky to get so many brave and talented
    Stunt performers over the years. Many of the greatest film stunts
    Have been from Bond films. {[]

    Sad to hear about the death of Bobby Womack. A fantastic singer.

    An R&B classic. His hits included, "If You Think You're Lonely Now", "Harry Hippy", "That's The Way I Feel About You", and my favorite, "Across 110th Street", the title song to a movie that starred Dr. Kanaga himself, Yaphett Kotto. They don't make 'em like Bobby Womack anymore. May he rest in peace.
