RavenSame thing happened with Tanya Roberts. Agents so quick to get the word out, they can't wait for the body.

RavenNow they are reporting Tony Dow's death again. Unfortunately, it can't be another mistake.

Kevin FA really rotten way to start the day. I've just read on the BBC news website that Bernard Cribbins has passed away at the age of 93. One of the few legendary British comedy actors still around, he will be sorely missed

I have a Topps Dr Who autograph card signed by him but no way to post it on here. I use the sketchcollector site for my sketches so I can post those here but don't have anywhere for other cards since the two old free sites I used to use started charging.

JOHN LEVITTCan I help with the following card from Unstoppable's Avengers 50 issue.

Postimage works.
Or you could do a wordpress blog (which will host images) and hotlink from the posts there.

Hedgehog WitchI was really sad to hear about Bernard Cribbins. An amazing all round entertainer and a lovely bloke.
I'm sure I caught a piece on the news with David Tennant and Catherine Tate yesterday, that Bernard was filming with them on Doctor Who fairly recently for that special episode they're doing. So it sounds like he was making a return as Donna's grandad Wilfred Mott.
A cool thing about Bernard playing Wilfred was the little Parachute Regiment badge he wore on his red woolly hat; he was in the Parachute Regiment in real life for his National Service in 1947.
He also had a couple of novelty hit records, including "Right Said Fred" which was co-produced by George Martin...of the Beatles.
Bernard's autobiography from 2018 is a good read.
