Notable Deaths 2024

[Norton Canes]

Not a good day for Doctor Who guest stars - Pamela Salem has also passed away

And Stuart Organ (had to check - Bazin in Dragonfire) makes it a Who hat-trick. Sadly, he doesn't appear to have been in Blake's 7.

[Bad Ambassador]

However, he was in the BBC's second-longest running fantasy drama, Grange Hill.

[Satchmo Distel]

He was its longest-running character, according to the Beeb (15 years).

Exceptionally bland character wasn't he?

[BrahmanOK]

Diehard Lewis. That's Richard Lewis of Curb Your Enthusiasm fame.

[Dex Sawash]

Felt like he wouldn't live through an episode going back a couple seasons

[Alberon]

Dave Myers - a hairy biker - has rather expectedly died of cancer.

[baptist]

Bury biker.

[privatefriend]

Grave Dyers

[Dex Sawash]

Is one of the two fat ladies still alive?

[Alberon]

I think so, maybe the surviving members of both could join up.

The Fat Bikers?
Two Hairy Ladies?

[imitationleather]

I am sorry to announce that both Fat Ladies are very dead.

[Dex Sawash]

Could still use the sidecar one

[idunnosomename]

Hairy Carker

He'll be in grave soon, you believe it

[Cleveland Steamer]

Aha "grave", gets me every time. Classic.

[Gurke and Hare]

I am sorry to announce that both Fat Ladies are very dead.

Don't be, they were a pair of proper horrible tory cunts weren't they?

[Huxleys Babkins]

Presumed he didn't have long left, solely because of the recent Knorr stock pot advert where the camera refuses to stay on him for a second. Si's running the whole thing and Dave just gets panned past or stays out of focus. "He's too fucked to show", I exclaimed to my other half. "Dead soon."

*stuffs sausage meat so far up a goose carcass, it's burst out the other end like a hideous meat fountain* "And that's why you can't trust the Indians."

[dissolute ocelot]

Sad about Dave Hairy, always found the Bikers two of the most pleasant TV cooks, a profession where being a total cunt is almost mandatory. Really hope Rick Stein is drowned or shot, for instance, and his corpse converted into affordable housing for Cornwallians. I'll cook up a big pot of something in memory of Dave.

[gilbertharding]

Didn't one of them consume so much gin every day that she got quinine poisoning from the four pints of tonic she was mixing it with?

[George White]

Didn't one of them consume so much gin every day that she got quinine poisoning from the four pints of tonic she was mixing it with?

Clarissa Dickson Wright, who was about twenty years younger than the other one (Jennifer Paterson) but thanks to gin and cigarettes, looked the same age.

[touchingcloth]

Two dead ladies: 0

[touchingcloth]

Did one of the Hairy Bikers ride in a sidecar? The gin-soaked Fat Lady rode in one, so maybe the remaining Hairy one can buckle on onto his bike and keep the grift going by Weekend At Bernies-ing the other one around in it.

[Jittlebags]

A Jimmy White's Brother job then...

Yeah they both seem nice. Feel bad for the other one.


My respectful stance was ruined though by laughing at "he's too fucked to show" in Huxley Babkins' post.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

The surviving biker could team up with Fred Serious for some sort of road trip cooking extravaganza around France. Fred'll agree to any old shit as long as he gets to be on television.

[Pink Gregory]

I was under the impression that the other one was ill as well.  He might just have depression.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Paul Chuckle and Si King

The Hairy Chuckles
The Chuckling Bikers

[jobotic]

Picturing my daughter answering the door to some canvassing politician this year.

"Is your mum or dad in?"

"yes my dad"

"Could you ask him to come to the door please dear?"

"Nah, he's too fucked to show".

[touchingcloth]

Knorr: we know you're fucked know.
