I don't have any answers, but not having any answers does not do well by anybody .

I have some of the answers, but they are not good ones, no matter how you look at them. ( No I will not post them. )

Wow, he played Mr. House in Fallout: NV--never knew that! And his Odo was fantastic, that goes without saying. RIP.

I remember him from those botany programmes in the 70s/80s, more childhood gone.

The guy was an absolute legend for children born in a certain era. His enthusiasm and ability to not just convey it, but impart it to the listener - grabbing their interest and holding them on the subject - was brilliant. How many other kids would watch programs with interest about plants and creepy crawlies? Just a shame he wasn't on our screens for the past 20 odd years

I'm sure I remember the *real* David Bellamy actually coming on when Lenny Henry was doing that impression, similarly to how they did with Trevor McDonald in that video.

I suspect that this will have ramifications.

Neil Peart aged 67, Drummer and lyricist for Rush for 45 years has passed away after a three and a half year fight with brain Cancer. Kind of explains why the quit touring.

Think that's all the main guys from those series gone now.

[EDIT] And turns out Christopher Tolkien died this week as well, but apparently that wasn't important enough for the national news, just the local Oxfordshire news:
