Gone but not forgotten - talent I miss

[MeekSqueak]

I’ve been listening to old episodes of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue on radio four, and oh, I miss Jeremy Hardy.

A funny, talented man gone too soon.

Agree, and John Diamond (Nigella’s first husband ), his book about his cancer diagnosis is well-written and he describes his heartache when (because of pronunciation problems following his operation), he had to use the word “yes” rather than “absolutely “. He didn’t want to be that person

The Royle Family.

Alan Rickman. Such a loss. Have just finished reading his diaries and it made me so sad. I hope they find an early detection for pancreatic cancer.

OP - I knew Jeremy Hardy slightly years ago (friend of friends). He came across as a lovely man.

Kirsty McColl.

Ian Dury.

Marilyn Monroe. I always felt she would have become formidable in old age. She was so funny, so wise.

George Michael. Still cuts like a knife that he's gone.

Rik Mayall
Victoria Wood

Both comedy geniuses I miss a lot.

George Michael. Everything he did still sounds so good but my heart breaks every time I hear it.

I agree with George Michael and Victoria Wood, and I’d like to have seen what would have happened to the monarchy with Princess Diana still around.

Paul o grady in for love of dogs at Battersea, i miss his humour on the radio also

Yes to Paul O'Grady. I was watching reruns of blankets blank and couldn't stop laughing. Same for Victoria Wood. I miss the laughs.

In the same vein as Robert Hardy: Linda Smith, brilliantly funny dry wit

And Caroline Aherne of course

Paul O'Grady
I really miss Sue Townsend
Victoria Wood

Heartily agree with. Victoria Wood and Sue Townsend.

George Michael, loved that man, beautiful voice, beautiful soul.
Princess Diana, think things would have been very different if she was still alive, god bless her.

Lucinda Riley - author of the Seven Sisters series and died before the final book was completed (co- written with her son). It’s sad that she never completed the series herself.

Agree with many of these, also Tommy Cooper and Robin Williams.

Yootha Joyce.

Freddy Mercury.. amazing voice. Also Chris rea and Robert Palmer....all gone too soon.
Comedians.... John candy and robin Williams ❤️

Terry Wogan especially on Eurovision

Came on to say Rik Mayall.

But a pp said it first

Another one for the late great fabulous Freddie Mercury.

Chris Farley 😢

Sean Lock

Sean Lock, yes, 8 out of 10 cats isn’t the same without him.

I used to love it when I unexpectedly came across something with Linda Smith on when I was listening to R4 etc, the joy of it.
