Linda Nolan. For the second day in a row a star of a Channel 4 show that ran on Friday nights in the first half of the 1990s dies aged 65.
Terry Christian is 64.
Channel 4 was at the cutting edge of TV stuff back then.
Slattery was hugely gifted but temperamental, Ryan Stiles was also hugely gifted I think but steady. In fact him and Colin Mochrie, also Canadian and also gifted, are still at it in the US. The show is on Comedy Central presented by the smoking hot Charlie from Friends,

They even went to the trouble of putting a little red triangle 
in the top right hand corner of films with a bit of nookie in them so that you knew it was going to be worth your while watching.

Ah stop. It was like hitting the jackpot when u saw the red triangle.
Minder with George Cole and Denis Waterman was good for a bit of much sought after nudity of a Wednesday night in the early 80s. Myself and the brother would be glued to it but terrified the Ma would arrive into the living room at just the wrong time, which she invariably did.
No remote control to speed things up either. It was an undignified little shuffle across the living room to change channel.

Imagine explaining to youngsters now with all the gadgets that there wasnât a remote control years ago?
. I remember the Fallonâs down the road from us were the first family around to get a remote control tv (the cunts were the first to get everything). A couple of us were brought into their house to observe this new phenomenon. The remote was about the size of a laptop with a big white cable coming out the back of it and going across the living room floor into the back of the tv. When he pressed the massive button on it and the channel changed we thought we were witnessing some sort of sorcery or witchcraft.
We got one about 15 years later.

In our house the mother would proclaim at 8.59 pm every day âWill one of you get up and put on the Newsâ.

We had a kitchen clock in the house which was hung above the door into the hall. We used to remark how weird it was to witness the clock at ten past nine during the Eurovision say and the news not being on.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration

I had an Eraserhead T-shirt when I was much younger. I think it was my favorite item of clothing of my entire life.

The scene in blue velvet where Hopper goes to Bens house with the âneighborâ and in dreams comes on is one of the greatest in movie history

My favourite old t-shirt was a Cathal Coughlan (RIP) Fatima Mansions era issue of the old anti-nuclear power symbol.
It consisted of a circled and crossed image of Mike Scott and the words âRaggle Taggle Nein Dankeâ
RIP to David Lynch. A visionary filmmaker.

Our own Feech La Manna did a star turn as Mr Eddie
David Lynch,
Wow. RIP
What a wonderfully weird and out there film maker he was. If I was a filmmaker I would want to make films like him.
Then he did The Straight Story. Which was a straight story yet absolutely brilliant.

Looks like it was COPD after a life of smoking.
