Nobody else in the world appears to have heard about this.
I wonder if Barry knows?
No - sorry! I'll have to get in touch with my correspondent.
This has happened before I believe.
Maybe Chappers is psychic. If, perchance, Barry does die one day, Chappers will be able to say "I knew that that was going to happen".

No. He'll never die.

I remember her well as Cathy Gale in "The Avengers".
On that very programme, didn't she have a screen fight with TV wrestler Jackie Pallo and accidentally knock him out?
If I remember correctly, Jackie was playing some character in a graveyard and Cathy Gale knocked him into an open grave. That was all scripted but his state of unconsciousness when he landed at the bottom was accidental.
What a girl!

RIP Honor Blackman and
Peter Walker (cricketer)
I admired both of them at the same time but for different reasons.

"The man who nicked the Krays"
Sir Peter Viggers, the man we all bought a floating duck island for, has died. 
And so has the Branch Chairperson of the Gipsy Hill Labour Party, Ted Red Knight. 
Stirling Moss, age 90. Winner of 16 Grands Prix 1956 - 1961.

The man was a legend in his own lifetime.
In recent years, if a racing driver crashes on the track, he's been highly likely to emerge from the wreckage in one piece.
In Stirling's day, if a racing driver crashed on the track, it was highly likely he'd be burned to death.
On a lighter note, however, there's a story (and I hope to God it's true) that during his heyday he was once stopped by the police for speeding. The copper walked up to the driver's window and, without looking too closely at the car's occupant, asked, "And who do you think you are - Stirling Moss?"
He'll be remembered and admired forever in motor racing circles and I have absolutely no doubt that as he approached the pearly gates, St Peter was standing there waving a chequered flag.
That's the sort of respect this man deserves.
RIP Stirling.
