#RIP Jack Mundey. "Mundey strongly believed unions had an obligation to act with a socially responsible purpose that extended beyond wages and conditions. The nub of the green bans argument was that communities should have the right to shape and protect their environment, and that the workers whose labour was used to create the built environment should have a say in what was built." https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/35859

#RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor. This hurts. To any Australian of my age 6pm was endless weekday repeats of the Goodies followed by #DrWho at 6:30. Weekend evenings were a disappointment. Damn it, #Covid-19, now it's personal. Bless him. Not many of us get to make a career out of satirising oneself. At least, not intentionally. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/35122

#RIP Phyllis Stine. It is not recorded whether she was a keen patron of the arts. https://www.everhere.com/us/obituaries/oh/tiffin/phyllis-stine-9497878

#RIP MES; your work-shy demise made the world is much less dark, sadly. Shane Patrick Lysaght #MacGowan hasn't written so much as a shopping list for twenty years, and his thrice-broken hip plus the passing of the indispensable Philip Chevron has put an end to #Pogues nostalgia gigs. For all I know, Nick Cave is playing Las Vegas.

#RIP Nicholas Parsons. A surprisingly capable actor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7-hqO2LHic #DrWho Now I'll never get to take him out. I'll raise a glass of barmy fluid regardless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtUPJZfHmz8 #ComicStrip #MrJolly

#RIP Terry Jones, writer, performer, director, raconteur, spam server, pepperpot, and parrot. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/33732 #python

#RIP Wendy Willams, who brilliantly under-played Vira in the Ark in Space, the paradigmatic "base under seige" story. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2019/12/wendy-williams-1934-2019.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S4X-fXWtmM #DrWho

#RIP Greedy Smith from Mental as Anything. Saw them at the Hoey Moey a few years ago; still good fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqQMp75Lmbg

#RIP Stephen Moore, voice of Marvin the paranoid android in #HHGTTG (and several other minor roles in the radio series), and also memorably Adrian Mole's father in the #TV adaption. Always a delight to hear his otherwise remarkably soothing voice over the years. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2019/10/stephen-moore-1937-2019.html

Oh, what a loss. #RIP Jonathan Miller. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-21144364

#RIP Clive James. I can't speak to the quality of his poetry, but a delightful memoir writer and splendid broadcaster with a keen eye for the absurd. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-50578512

#RIP Terrance Dicks, the man who invented 1970s #DrWho and steered it for five years, prolific script writer, novelist, and true gentleman. Thank you for making my adolescence wonderful, Terrance. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/31673 https://microblog.mjd.id.au/attachment/31672

#RIP the ubiquitous Glyn Houston, who gave us a couple of memorable #DrWho appearances as well as… Good grief, it might be quicker to list the shows he wasn't in. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2019/07/glyn-houston-1925-2019.html

#RIP #Totnes pound. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/29519

#RIP Paul Darrow. Let's see… how to put this politely… A magnetic screen presence and consummate professional. Never let his colleagues take on too much of the burden of carrying the scene. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/06/04/pauldarrow-blakes7-passes/

#Listening to old episodes of the News Quiz because I miss the sound of Jeremy Hardy's voice. I'm a sad old git. #RIP
