Arthur Scargill and Zelda from Terrahawks were the two people who terrified me most as a child.

Booker T. Jones is still alive, aged nearly 78. I thought he'd either have died years ago or would be like 90 or something.

Bobby Crush - I thought he died relatively young a few years ago, but he's still alive, aged 68.

Tony Hatch of theme tune and Downtown-writing fame is still alive, aged 83. I think I must be thinking of Jackie Trent, who died in 2015 - and who I always also thought was a man.

Mary Quant is still alive, aged 92.
