A sad one for me this, but a good age. Seemed like a brilliant bloke.

Yeah, this is a big one for me and anyone else who's played the Gabriel Knight computer games. Anyone? Just me, presumably.

Don't forget Clue.

When I was at university some people had the great idea of going to see The Rocky Horror Show / Rocky Horror Picture Show (whatever it's called) play thing and I went along with them. I didn't really have any idea of what it was about when I went, and I came away from it thinking "WTF was that shit I just watched?" I stand by that today.

If I remember correctly Dolly Parton turned Peter Gabriel down on Don't Give Up when he was recording So at the time, no disrespect to her but Kate Bush is a better fit for that song.

Not a good year for Bonnies with Bonnie Greer now dying.

But don't worry, I've checked and Bonnie Prince Charlie is still alive and well.
