Stars we said goodbye in 2014

f uck me that's news to me, I never knew bob hoskins died, never knew he was a sir either, that nulls it a bit for me, people who accept titles to elevate themselves above others in society deserve to be frowned upon

but WTF makes a charity muggers drugged up daughter a 'star' exactly eh? what did she do apart from follow in her mothers tragic footsteps and leave behind a couple of sprogs without a mum

I may have added the sir bit but i did not realise he was gone.

just watching joan rivers now on itv, very very funny , never realised she was this good

she was brutal and very dark for a female.

compared to the so called comedians on that john bishop xmas show, this lady is a comic genius, ist time ive seen her proper, so sharp

i rarely hand out praise lightly as most famous people are overrate gobshytes, but agree Robin Williams, for a yank, was a class act, did any of you hear that great big fat dope alan brazil saying he was selfish for topping himself and thanking god it wasn't robbie williams FFS, I despair at how people like him get cushy jobs

yep, heard that sh1t.

Robin William was a freak of talent.


These bullsh1t comedians that the bbc project art not even toilet cleaners.

I'm glad Joan Rivers died instead of Robbie Williams. And I fookin' hate Robbie Williams!

this audience with joan rivers is brilliant

joan was a funny lady, and their about 10

10 yrs ago  this 1st shown ? Lynda Bellingham just been on as well rip

Many of you wouldn't have heard of but BBC Radio Ulster's Gerry Anderson's death brought a lump to my throat. In our darkest times he brought a smile to both sides of the conflict. He lived in (London)Derry but he called it Stroke City. He was a great man that will be sorely missed.

Ditto to some of the comments above. Rik Mayall deserves some credit for a new age of comedy I grew up with.

Tony Benn for me. And I am right wing as well. A titan of all the politicians. When someone leaves us all the knowledge goes with them though i could be confident in his case that he had done as much as he could to impart his knowledge. I, for one, was very sad on his passing

It's all very sad  when the stars begin to lose their twinkle one by one, the universe will eventually be made up of nothing but the dark and cold corpses.

Eli Wallach, died in June aged 98. I don't know whether he was a great actor or not but always liked him in things.

peaches geldof a star?

white dwarf perhaps ?

Just seen Jimmy Ruffin died last month

Pumphol I think Ibrahima  might be a racist as he's only put white people in his list, there must have  been loads of famous black people who died last year, don't let his name fool you.

Peaches Geldof ????  but for the news coverage , I would not have known what she did .

it was a copy and paste job

Roy Castle

Terry Biddlecombe

Alexander Bastedo

Richard Cattenborough

Phil Sharpe the Yorkshire cricketer of the 1960s, one of the best slip fielders ever

Indeed 'jon, I remember him well and saw him several times. What a team we had back then.

fantastic film of an Ashes Test in 1964, which includes Phil.

...and the summer that Sir Fred took his 300th wkt. Shame he only played 70 Tests (due to the southern turds)

Aye, my brother in laws brother played for a season for Yorkshire in 1959 and opened the bowling with Freddie Trueman before injury cut short a promising career. Christopher Harland -Wood was his name.

he would have rubbed shoulders with a few decent players, bob appleyard, len hutton of course

Saw FST in a bar off Fleet Street many years back -- must have been down for one of the papers.

My mum worked with Len Hutton's brother at Crofts in Bradford. Got his autograph. Len, not his brother.

Norman Cornish, who had a couple of portraits on Antiques Roadshow yesterday.
