The "which famous person died today" thread

Just heard this - makes me very very sad - almost tearful - RIP Prue your talent will not be surpassed

Prunella was a brilliant actress, and absolutely fantastic as Sybil Fawlty.

R. I. P. Prunella

Brilliant!

Thanks for posting.

What about Tony Adams, smoothy Adam Chance in Crossroads !?

Was Dr Bywaters in General Hospital throughout the 1970s before he went to Crossroads.

BBC1 now


Too late it’s finished now

Watched that before. Very funny. I think I’m going to go back and watch them again. My dad used to love this.

so nice to learn from her family she was watching Fawlty Towers the day before she passed - her final memories were hopefully of fun and love

It is hard to think there were only 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers. Prunella Scales' "Basil" will forever be iconic.

Crossroads' Tony Adams remembered as an 'absolute joy'

The actor, who played Adam Chance on the ITV soap, has died at the age of 84.

I watched last night's episode too and I actually don't remember this one, and actually I'd say it was far from the best of the 12 - the obvious ones being the Don't Mention The War episode, The Car thrashing episode and the one with the Australian Girl with the big t*ts.

presumably they picked one with a reasonable amount of Sybil in it, rather than a best episode.

He was smooth as fuck in Crossroads.

Younger people will have known Prunella from the multiple Tesco ads.

She was a brilliant actress. Sybil is how she'll be remembered.

Colin Addison - former Forest and Arsenal striker, but probably best-known as player-manager of the Hereford United side that beat Newcastle in the 1972 FA Cup. Many nowadays don’t realise that game was actually a replay and in the prior 2-2 draw at St James’ Park, Addison scored a goal that was supposedly the equal of, if not better than, Ronnie Radford’s legendary screamer. Unfortunately, there were no cameras there that day though.
He went on to manage a load of clubs in England and Spain, including Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo.
Was well known for being a true gent and lovely man. I met him once and can attest.
RIP Colin.

She was a great example of the British character actor, the like of which no other country seems to produce.

There was no finer sight than a braless Connie Booth.
