MMF - Keeper of Mustelids, with added P.M.A., is now in a relationship.

I'm surprised no-one noticed the passing of Mr Love Bug.

A staple of all of us born in the late 50's and early 60's.

How number 53 defied Terry-Thomas, that old rapscallion.

Or That Darn'd Cat? How did Disney get away with that tagline?

And he always had good-looking female side-kicks.

He had a good performing age but real shame that Dean Jones succumbed to Parkinson's and no Hollywood Hall of Fame.

MMF - Keeper of Mustelids, with added P.M.A., is now in a relationship.

Unfortunately today we get a B.O.G.O.F.

Hugh Scully, the modern Arthur Negus has died at 72. Hardly an antique, but definitely a National treasure.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34488729

And another television icon, rom the other television broadcaster, Gordon Honeycombe, aged 79.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34485074

Both had incredible television careers and were very well known.

Amazing that both Healey and his rival Chancellor, Howe, who he once likened to a 'dead sheep' should die within a week of each other.

Just Bob aka Robert Thompson, plugging my film blog cinemainferno-blog.blogspot.co.uk

Gunnar Hansen, most notable for playing killer Leatherface in the seminal Texas Chainsaw Massacre: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/gunnar-hansen-the-man-who-terrified-millions-in-texas-chain-saw-massacre-has-died-a6725996.html

When I saw TCM a few years ago, I was really impressed. The main characters are all horrible people, but I still ended up rooting for them because of the awfulness of what happens to them. There are few horror films that have affected me as much, and I have seen a lot of horror films. Hansen's contribution to this was invaluable.
