Hinge of Hinge and Bracket is still alive, 16 years after Bracket died!

These are the facts we need to know.

Bamber Gascoigne is still alive.

I couldn't think if Leslie Phillips was still alive. And he is - aged 94!

He married his latest wife as recently as 2013!

Ding dong.

As he seems to have completely disappeared I couldn't remember if Pete Doherty was still alive or not. Like with Amy Winehouse, I predicted he'd die at a young age - but it seems he's still with us at 39.

I think he must be my youngest contribution to this (and the original) thread.

I can't find a single decent image of him.

For some reason I'm also getting images of a young Cherie Blair.

Bob Newart is still alive!

Me, on ***.


Yes, I'm famous.

Harry Connick Senior is still alive, aged 92.

...Whoever he is exactly.

Gladys Knight has been singing the American national anthem at the Superbowl.

I thought she died about a decade ago.

ITV3 are currently re-showing old episodes of Emmerdale, from 1990, a couple of which I've recently watched. I didn't watch Emmerdale back then but am vaguely familiar with some of the characters, including the rather old fashioned "matriarch" of the show, Annie Sugden.




I was thinking while watching it the other night that the actress who played Annie Sugden must have died years ago - but it turns out she's actually still alive, having turned the grand old age of 100 on January 1st this year!

She's surely one of the UK's oldest living actors.

The architect of the Routnda is still alive

I wish the Rotunda still looked like that. Its makeover, although fairly subtle, made it look a bit more generic. I predict in 20-30 years time it'll be reverted back to its original form when 60s architecture is seen as historic.
