Black January

Bob May, the Robot from Lost in Space is dead, as is Tony Hart, the artist/tv presenter who gave us Morph.

In years to come, older fans will talk about Black January, when so many old childhood favourites died. I mean, they're all old, death is not unexpected, but so many is such a short space!

Hey universe! I think four in one month is more than enough, okay? What about giving us February off?

I remember Morph!

This is turning into a fairly sucky month for this.

John Mortimor, who wrote the Rumpole stories, also died this week...

Black January is very apt

5 Childhood favourites & two deaths close to home - this is not the summer holiday I had planned to have.

This is such a sucky month

Was Tony Hart in VisionOn too? Or does no one else remember that show?

oh my goodness, I have been having a Lost in Space marathon here. Oh btw my Mother in Law's dog Angel died this morning just another one to add from my perspective.
January sucks
