It's a puzzle how "Inspector Montalbano" manages to be very watchable while being utter rubbish (unlike "Wild Bill"). Formulaic, illogical, completely unbelievable. Yet enjoyable. And the books are obviously losing everything in their translations as they are even worse.

Rutger Hauer has passed away aged 75.

Without doubt this scene from Blade Runner is one of the most memorable in cinema history. Rutger Hauer helped to create Roy Batty?s death soliloquy.

?I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannh?user Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain..."

The irony is that Rutger Hauer's unforgettable performance has trapped him in the amber of that cinematic moment. RIP.

Very sad to hear Rutger Hauer has passed away at the young age of 75. A great actor and one I grew up seeing in lots of fantastic roles.

That bloke from TalkTalk died one or two years ago - great music - heard one of their classics on R6 yesterday morning.

Bob - I feel it's somewhat disrespectful if you don't even know the person's name or when they died. You are referring to Mark Hollis of the band Talk Talk who died in February 2019. Bog off back to your non-existent caravan.

Malcolm Nash, sadly most famous for Gary Sobers six sixes in an over https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49178748 but I was there when he took five wickets, with a hatrick, and then two more wickets successive wickets in a JPL match, taking five wickets for two runs. http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1970S/1975/ENG_LOCAL/SUNLG/WORCS_GLAM_SUNLG_07SEP1975.html A great fast bowler.

Robert Mugabe. A sad loss. Our thoughts must be with Grace during this very difficult time.

This is a bit of a shocker, Gary Rhodes, only 59, loved eating at his People's Palace restaurant back in the day...
