Read it last night and without a credible news link I was hoping it was a hoax... Didn't hold out much hope though. Bah!

Very sad to hear of the passing of John Hurt, he was a fine actor with a great voice.

RIP

One that the world seems to have missed for a week now ...

Masaya Nakamura, the "Father of Pac-Man" who founded the Japanese video game company behind the hit creature-gobbling game, has died. He was 91.

I have read about it, but to be fair I had no clue who that was, even though I played Pac-Man quite a lot and its (the game) notoriety is rather great.

MFG

(Why does the BBC not seem to run obituaries for people like this?).

EDIT: And now the BBC have finally noticed:

Oh, wow... I loved him in both iterations of the series. In fact, in the most recent Battlestar, his acting chops definitely got an upgrade. He was really awesome in that.

RIP, Apollo.

I liked this tribute to him by the composer from the new BSG:

A wonderful tribute.

I've been playing all his scores for BSG on a loop since I made the post, above. That's a lot of scores! It probably never actually looped, but that's OK, it's great stuff.

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson has been fond dead in her flat. Most wont know her, but she was an IT girl back in the 90's, a name that most in the UK will know of if they were around at that time.

R.I.P. Tara

Also Alan Simpson has died, another one that most wont know, but he was one of the writers of Steptoe and son back in the day.

R.I.P. Alan

The Tara thing in the U.K. press at the moment is a tad silly. Yes it's sad she died so young, but there's no mystery, she was a pretty heavy drug addict, drug addicts die younger, that's a known fact, she was just a famous/socialite one.

Were she poor there'd be no attempt to find other ways to explain her death other than to say it was health deterioration caused by years of heavy drugs and drink abuse.

Alien Theory on Youtube recently did a video on him, I guess there'll be another soon, they did a good one following John Hurts death.
