No, not another RIP topic! We were wrangling at Lingfield today about whether Clive James, the Aussie broadcaster and writer, was alive or not. I'm pleased to say that one of Australia's wittier exports is indeed alive at age 66. However, I've only found that out by Googling his name and getting a cute website which tells you if whoever you're looking for (famous people, not your Auntie Maude from Grimethorpe, last sighted in 1979) is with the quick or the dead. Bit of fun if you're compiling quizzes, or just plain nosey: http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com
 
I've been on there before and I already know the answer, but it couldn't tell me about Monty Modlyn.

If you're interested in who's still alive and who's dead, you can find a lot of information on Fifties web. They have a section called Dead People, which lists who has died recently.
I love the site, because you can also get a lot of information on your favourite tv shows from long ago.

This is the sad list of people who have died this year.

Ted, I wonder how many apart from us remember Monty Modlyn? As well as his TV stuff Monty pesented at LBC. My son is one of the new generation there so I asked him about Monty - he found that Monty died at the age of 72 on May 6, 1994.
 
I had a 1950s tv bypass, Ted, not being in the UK and living in a country where the fiendish apparatus wasn't introduced until 1961, then mostly filled with long-winded b&w American stuff like 'Bonanza' and 'Rawhide', so Monty Modlyn means nowt to me, I'm afraid.
 
It would be very easy to forget Monty Maudlin, a typical TV celebrity!! :nerd:

Kri, not sure when exactly his career started but he was on our screens well after the fifties.
 
Mr GG and I often have these debates, is such and such dead. The last big disagreement was Barbara Woodhouse who he swore was dead when I thought she was very much alive. Come to think of it, I can't remember who was right :lol:
 
At the risk of turning into a human-list equivalent of Aldaniti, I have to report that Barbara Woodhouse died eighteen years ago at the age of 78.
