Three well known TV personalities of the past have all died today...Clive James - 80, Gary Rhodes - 59, and now Jonathan Millar - 85. How sad..they all entertained us, and were extremely talented in their various fields.

The inescapable....death and taxes!
@Marionville At least we got here to deal with them.
Jonathan Miller as well. Only yesterday I listened to an archived R3 discussion that he was involved with about an Egyptian exhibition at The British .Museum from a few years ago.

Yes...a very clever and gifted man. Very sad day, I loved Clive James’s wit and Gary Rhodes was one of the earlier batch of TV chefs...I enjoyed watching all of them at one time.
I remember Gary Rhodes seemed to break out of the standard celeb role. Who did it used to be in the early 70’s. John Carrier or something similar?
@Marionville I saw an interview with Clive James a couple of years ago which was quite a candid interaction. He knew his days were numbered but he had the same vibrance as he did in the 70/80s.
A great loss today!
@Geoffrey51 Robert Carrier I think..yes he was probably one of the earliest...along with Philip Harben, Fanny Craddock and the Galloping gourmet from down under Graham Kerr.
@Geoffrey51 Yes...I loved his shows and his first book was hilarious..Unreliable Memoirs.
@Marionville Oh yes, it was actually Graham Kerr I was thinking of, so thanks for sorting that out!

Posted by webspider555I’m beginning to wonder whether our government is just incompetent or are all these things happening just to get us in a rage arguing amongst ourselves.
