No he hasn't. It was Anthony Bourdain.

It looks like Harlan Ellison has died.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Harlan Ellison, one of the world’s foremost science fiction writers, has died at 84.

Among Ellison’s influential and popular novels and novellas are 1969’s post-apocalyptic A Boy and His Dog and, among the many short story collections, 1980’s Shatterday.

Among Ellison’s Hollywood work was the screenplay for The Oscar, starring Stephen Boyd and he also wrote for such TV shows as The Flying Nun, Route 66, The Outer Limits, Star Trek and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.

Ellison’s Star Trek episode, The City on the Edge of Forever, is often cited as among the original series’ very best. Ellison himself was no fan of the end result, though, often complaining about rewrites.

The writer also was a creative consultant to both the 1980s Twilight Zone reboot and Babylon 5.

For some reason I thought he was already dead. He seemed like the kind of person who would be dead.

Which I guess he now is.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I always assumed he was too evil to die.

[Nightjar]

Yes, he was a bit of a t**l, wasn't he.

That word is Verboten now.

Assuming it's the one I think it is.

Peter Firmin, the creator of popular children’s television programmes including Bagpuss and Noggin the Nog, has died at home in Kent surrounded by his family.

The 89-year-old had been working until early this year on a £5m reboot of the Clangers, another animation for the BBC that he made with his creative partner of 50 years, Oliver Postgate.

Firmin, an artist who slid into television through his collaboration with Postgate, also created Basil Brush for the puppeteer Ivan Owen and co-created Ivor the Engine, the tale of a gentle steam train that first puffed on to the schedules of ITV in 1959.
