Mark Farmer RIP. For those of us from the original Grange Hill generation he played Gary Hargreaves, Kathy Hargreaves; brother. Kathy Hargreave & Trisha Yates were well fit. He also played Johnny Jarvis. Only 53, cancer.
Stage, screen and Television actress, Madeleine Sherwood. Dead at 93. R.I.P. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/madeleine-sherwood-dead-flying-nun-887302
He wasn't actually supposed to be him but the character was possibly partly based on him as there were a lot of similarities. Did quite a lot of interesting things apart from acting,a very intelligent bloke. His brother played Hyacinth Bucket's husband.
Sorry if its already been posted. Emile Ford. Great song that was. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/may/02/emile-ford-obituary
Actually saw him. Apparently he had problems after he his hit as working men's clubs booked him and made it clear they only had done so because they thought he was white.
