2017 carries on from where 2016 left off :(

Sir John Hurt RIP

Acting genius , so many great roles over the years

Tam Dalyell.......a rare thing, an honest politician.

And Mary Tyler Moore. Maybe we're now Ina generation aided by various media that has a greater number well known people, and that there'll always be someone famous who has just died.

Re Tam Dalyell, a rare thing a truly principled politician who absolutely put the people first. Oh for a few more Tams in Holyrood and Westminster
 
had a big crush on Mary when i was a nipper ,and Tam was always a man for the people.
re John Hurt he was a very talented man ,roles from the Elephant man to being in Alien ,and then playing jockey Bob Champion to Olivander in Harry Potter.and probably his best role was in 1984 .
a sad loss for all three RIP
 
Very sad to hear about John Hurt. A man that crossed so many boundaries on TV and on film. I had forgotten about Elephant Man. Brilliant as Quentin Crisp an in I Claudius and Alien and then transcends generations into Harry Potter and Dr Who. Such a distinctive voice that sounded like honey coated gravel
