Just having a look at the annual BBC montage of those no longer with us. One was Anna Wing, from Eastenders. They showed a picture with five characters, Mark, Michelle, Arthur and Pauline Fowler and Lou Beale. Four are now dead. Checked to see what Susan Tully was up to and was surprised to see she is a director and in fact directed the last two episodes of Good Cop which was on the BBC last year. Quite a few others that I didn't realize passed away.

Todd Carty had AIDS in Eastenders, it was only a story.

And who is going to break the news to Bill Treacher that he is dead?

I enjoy watching - there always someone you thought died years ago and thus one can console oneself safe in knowledge they lasted longer than one thought.

Doh, could have sworn he had shuffled off his mortal coil! As for Mark Fowler, the original actor who played him at the start committed suicide! Still, 3 out of 4 ain't bad.

Can't believe we lost both James Herbert and Iain Banks in the same year.

If you get a minute, look at the world one.

It's funny that the older you get, people who were part of your childhood on TV, film and radio seem to go one by one! Watching that montage of the uk and world people we have lost is very sobering!

I always loved 'Fluke' as a kid so James Herbert has always been a bit of a legend to me. Iain Banks is, well, Iain Banks.

I think the show itself died about 18 months ago.
