Now there will be a flood of 90 year old couples coming forward claiming he tricked them into threesomes.

That show reminds me of having lunch at home from Primary School, such a nice respite from the horror of Pipkins.

Richard Briers passing has just flashed up on the BBC ticker although they dont have a page up yet.

Yeah, UKComedyNews has just ran with the story. Sad. The Beeb ran an article on him about a month ago where he described himself as buggered with emphysema.

Genuinely sad about Briers. The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles are two of the finest ever British comedies, up there with Reggie Perrin (obviously, the original).

Still, he's left a fine body of work behind and that's something to treasure.

Not sure if he counts as a celebrity, but according to the BBC News ticker - 'Ray Cusick, who designed the original Daleks on the BBC's Doctor Who, dies aged 84'

Phil Collins dead

Great Train Robber Bruce Reynolds dies aged 81

Bruce Reynolds, who was the key planner behind the £2.6m Great Train Robbery in 1963, has died aged 81.

Reynolds evaded capture for five years, mainly spent overseas, but after returning to England was captured in 1968. He spent 10 years in jail.

The haul from the raid by 15 men on a mail train, stopped in Buckinghamshire, was a record at that time.

Train driver Jack Mills was struck over the head during the robbery and never worked again. He died in 1970.

Following Reynolds' release from prison in 1978, life proved a struggle and he was jailed again in the 1980s for three years for dealing amphetamines.

In the late 80s he worked briefly as a consultant on a film about the robbery, Buster, and went on to publish The Autobiography of a Thief in 1995.

By then, he was living on income support in a south London flat supplied by a charitable trust.

Reynolds' son Nick said his father had died in his sleep in the early hours of Thursday.

"He hadn't been well for a few days and I was looking after him," he said. "I really can't talk at the moment. I can confirm that he has passed away and he died in his sleep."

The £2.6m haul from the Glasgow-to-London train, which the gang brought to a stop near Cheddington by changing a signal to red, is equivalent to £40m in today's money.

That's a relief.. I like Phil Collins.

*Edit* Not a relief that someone has died obviously, just that it's not Phil.. You know what I mean.

Like saying Mihael Jackson was a good babysitter.

Chavez 58 and out.

The Curse of Are You Being Served strikes again. Frank Thornton is deaded at 92.

"Dead at 92" sounds like a curse I'd quite like to be hit with.

Let's hope Nicola Roberts can release another solo album then.. Her first was brilliant.

They sold more than 4.3 million singles
They won a 2009 Brit award for best single, The Promise
They had 20 consecutive top 10 hits between 2002 and 2009

That's a bit shit for a mega-hyped band, isn't it?

Leona Lewis sold 9,000,000 singles - and that was just Bleeding Love
