RIP Dick Donner and thank you for all the stories you have given us.
Scrooged is my go to X-mas movie every year, Lethal Weapon, Maverick, and Conspiracy Theory are always enjoyable to watch and if I see them on TV I have to keep it on, and Goonies and Superman are movies from my childhood that give me back that feeling of when I was growing up watching them.

The very under rated William Smith passes away aged 88. The original Red Dawn, Anywhich Way You Can and 100’s of others.

A great actor, he worked so well opposite Clint in Any Which Way You Can. He was also in an episode of The Rockford Files so naturally I'm a fan.

His list of television appearances through the 70’s and 80’s is enormous Jim. Played a great villain in Hell Comes to Frogtown. Very sad that a lot of these actors are passing away. Time certainly flys by.

I can't believe I forgot Hell Comes To Frogtown. I'm a HUGE Roddy Piper fan (both as a wrestler and an actor).

Jonathan Coleman, 65, has passed away from prostate cancer.

Remember watching him on Wonder World, and later on with his "Jono and Dano" shows.

Yep, I grew up watching Wonder World. I remember being pumped when they cam to do a story in my street. Some local kids dressed up as Kiss and mimed one of their songs in their garage. Jono and Dano was great too, as they were both genuinely funny dudes (unlike say Fletch and Hindy who are as funny as cancer)

Another childhood icon gone

rip Strop

 

[The Mad Hatter]

When cricketers collect the fat cheques and watch their OLED TVs, they should thank Strop.

 

[Jim Rockford]

Strop was one of those rare instances were the sidekick was every bit as funny as the main man.
