Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,132 Posted January 31, 2016 BBC Radio Devon presenter Tony Beard, who has hosted a Sunday afternoon show almost since the dawn of time, has announced he is suffering from bladder cancer. Dead at 79. http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/update/2016-01-31/devon-radio-legend-tony-beard-dies/ This Obit doesn't count as I understand it, so one DDP team awaits a QO. Unless TMIB can confirm... See? Winny was bang on the money. What next? An obit for The Old Baileys resident cat?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 9,983 Posted February 10, 2016 So anyway, the original idea of this thread was to alert others to must-see dead pool and grim television. Channel five 10-30 on Friday is presenting a documentary series on "Bad TV" (i.e. WTF were they thinking shows) and this week they'll discuss Heil Honey I'm Home, the (very) short run sit-com with Hitler and Eva Braun living next door to a Jewish couple.

Cat O'Falk 3,287 Posted April 25, 2016 Colin Bloomfield dead at 33. I found this out because there's gonna be a minute's silence before the Cobblers' game against Burton Albion this afternoon in memory. Sad, and very cruel how all the youth and optimism was for naught. Exactly one year after his death, Colin Bloomfield's mother unveils new BBC Radio Derby building name.

maryportfuncity 9,983 Posted September 29, 2016 Y'know when Nick Knowles and his mates turn up to make over a house for some bunch of unfortunates and then the programme ends with the whole street turning up and applauding... Are you seriously telling me there's nobody in that street thinking: "Bastards, played the disability card and now their house is better than mine." I'm wondering if some of those shots at the end come about because sixty seconds before cameras roll some production assistant runs across and sprays the crowd with mace. Or are my anger management issues flaring again? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
