Brings it all back. The death of Leslie Grantham provides a plunge into
the past. That was a show that broke the rules...every Christmas a
misery, every New Years an appalling descent into turmoil.

It's still breaking the rules: every day a misery, every day an
appalling descent into turmoil.

Let's just wait 'til Dirty Den returns again. Prolly when Chrissie gets
an early release.

What? Huh?

Did Leslie Grantham die recently? Please help a poor
clueless colonial. What was the cause of death? Mysterious
circumstances?

I didn't think he was that old, although hard living can
age a person quickly.

I read the articles on BBC World News, and they didn't
mention the cause, just that he had returned to England
for medical treatment and that he died in hospital.

Better than being buried in the basement of the Queen
Vic I guess.

Nyssa, who is at least glad that June Brown is still alive
considering how many other EE actors we've lost

I very recently watched a lot of episodes with Den in detention awaiting trial as Frank and Pat took over the Vic. Good stuff. Too bad they can't make the show like that now.
