    He was pretty good in Dune and Quantum Leap

    Oh fuck, that death sucks to see.

    I 100% already thought he was dead. RIP.

    You and me both to be honest. There’s a few of that era who I would have no idea off the top of my head.

    It may not be the most accurate... just glanced at their 'People Alive over 85' list and it still has Vera Lynn going at 104...

    @donsteppa Yeah just checked and it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while. Congratulations though to Prince Philip alive and well and into his second century. Betty must be pleased....

    Haven't looked at the site for quite a while TBH

    Well given that they've buried him I expect he's bloody furious.

    Maybe his death was fake news or he stopped moving and they just assumed he was dead ?

    Am a little sad.

    My favourite author through my teenage years.

    However it became a case of if you read one you'd read them all.

    Got a little bored of his Courtneys of Africa saga (for some reason I didn't like the characters or story line) so gave up on him.

    Did get a lot of enjoyment from his work.

    I'd double up vote that if I could @booboo . Almost mirrors my sentiments exactly.

    That criticism never stopped ACDC selling a truckload of albums.

    They were easy reads, think I read first one when I was like 12 and felt good because you would think you’ve just read this massive big epic and so read a few ore

    Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere as a little late but in the past few months a couple of the originals from UB40 passed away. Brian Travers (the saxaphone that was a signature on their early stuff) and Astro.

    Before the cheesy money making covers their first album was brilliant and a real cultural crossover.
    Funny how much they'd NZs Herbs sound alike.

    Not my thing at all but they sold a few records. ‘Don’t break my heart’ was a good song now I think about it.

    I did find it quite funny that one of them ended up joining a UB40 tribute band though.
