Variety's report updated with more details. http://variety.com/2016/biz/news/car...rs-1201947925/ Described as "full cardiac arrest," 15 minutes before landing. Described as "unresponsive," CPR performed while still on plane. Not looking good.
Time Commanders has started up again on the BBC. They did that rather secretly. Just watched the first one, and apart from Gregg Wallace getting a little over excited [Eddie Mair was always perfectly dour in the older version] it was the same programme of a decade ago, but with much better computer graphics.

My Nan at 63, my Uncle at 58, my Mum at 66. I was 63 when they picked up a problem and I had an op. So if you have had family members who have died early with heart problems get your BP and cholesterol checked in your fifties and prevent damage. Now enjoy your Xmas dinner.
