According to that, loads of his projects got cancelled in the aftermath. So, what, they saw the rumours and didn't think to ring him up and check? They just went "He's dead, better cancel all his shit"?
An actor who was a thalidomide baby and had very short arms as a result.
He later appeared in a BBC2 drama that was billed as the first ever drama about disability to feature two disabled leads. He was pretty decent but the woman in the leading role really, really, realy couldn't act.
Anyway, forget his name but haven't seen him for a while.
...outside Le Poisson Rouge in NYC. Lovely bloke but not a rap fan (he left said venue due to them playing "some hip hop shit" and gave us a ticket in). Pretty sure he mainly lives out there now, which is why you don't see him much - his missus is a local and he was doing some burlesque show residency thing in Coney Island, which incidentally is one of the biggest shitholes I've ever been to, like Blaenau Ffestiniog with a beach.
But haven't seen much of the Young Ones lately. I think I might have seen Adrian Edmonson in something or other, but Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer and, um, the other guy - haven't seen them for years.
Ben Elton thankfully had a show that bombed in Australia, after being plugged the shit out of throughout the cricket, and was pulled from the air after one episode. Not even given a late night slot, and he hasn't inflicted himself upon us since. Used to be here every bloody summer, stinking the place up.

Anthea Turner
Antheavis doing a CDWM style US programme I saw when I was off ill
They have external judges and she does decor and atmosphere. It's incredibly poignant.
I might have to see this.
I guiltily really enjoyed Perfect Housewife.
Is Antheavis a celebrity couple?
Anthea Turner and .... err... .Michael Eavis?
Yes, he slipped a Cadbury's Dream up her kipper and they've been together ever since.

Tony Slattery
Yes.
Don't think anyone saw much of him fof awhile...
...remember reading that while suffering from depression he didn't leave his flat for six months.
I'm quite glad of his disappearance from entertainment land.
It was always a toss up between him and john sessions as to who was the most smugly lovie man on WLIIA.
Sessions usually won, but slattery was by far the more irritating.
Mr Motivator.
Saw Mr Motivator at Bestival last year
hasn't changed a bit.
He was in a short film I saw at a film festival in Stckport last year.
He was fucking mindblowing.

He's gone back to TV reviews in the Telegraph, having pretty much invented the concept in the mid-70s.

He's much missed from late night radio.
Used to love God's jukebox on the few occasions I caught it. One of the last great radio shows.
