    A little niggle from me too: the "Avengers" program you're referring to for Christine Shaw isn't a Marvel Comics production but a BBC adventure/spy/sometimes-comic series. At the time that Shaw appeared there, it starred Patrick MacNee and Honor Blackman. Later on, the series would gain more fame when Diana Rigg (Lady Olenna from "Game of Thrones") replaced Blackman as MacNee's partner. The series was very different in concept, tone, and storylines from the Marvel Comics "Avengers".

      There was also always that daft urban legend about a 'lost' thirteenth episode. There's no proof whatsoever and nobody involved in the show has said much or anything about it.
      The DVD also has an Easter egg where it shows you the aftermath of the fire that destroyed the Wooburn Grange Country Club (used for the exterior shots) in 1991. The whole area was redeveloped for housing and there's now no trace of it.

      I'm also pretty sure I heard that 2014 was just when Scales made her diagnosis public, and that she'd actually been a bit unwell for longer than that.
      She was doing theatre work on stage and there are rumours she was struggling with her lines and people noticed a change in her as far back as 1999. But I can't confirm that.

      Yep, the line about cancer being a bully was actually from Brian Hall (Terry the chef). Must just have got that part of the video mixed up. Hall died on 17th September 1997.
      I can't find Berkeley's cause of death anywhere, but he was 84 after all.

      I was thinking that too, he died January 19 1988, which happened to be my mother’s 30th birthday, so I can remember being at a theme park with relatives that day.

      Utter tosh - GBnews is a chaotic Right Wing car crash of a 'News Channel', funded by shadowy tax avoiding backers who are peddling the most base, knee jerk, click bait nonsense to an admitedly small, confused, ill-informed viewship to attempt to sow dissent in an already fractured, polarized populus. It's amateurish presentation, rabid views and pathetic attempt at sowing misinformation is only matched by it's actual lack of success. Long may it haemorrhage vast sums of money, lose advertisers and quicken the end of the careers of all the dangerous militant right wing dullards who work for this poisenous organisation.

      Whereas I believe Connie Booth is 100% retired these days. She was certainly working as a psychotherapist at the turn of the millennium and if she'd worked through to a normal retirement age (65-ish) she would have retired circa 2006.
      She's now 82.
