Dead List 3

Note the death of Wendy Richards
I've never seen Eastenders, so I didn't know her from there, but that wasn't her only role. On Radio Live yesterday Andrew patterson noted that she was also famous for appearing in "one of the funniest British sitcoms ever"
Anyone know what tthis was, because I only remember her from "Are you being served?' which was...um...crap.

Another death that will only resonate for New Zealanders who remember the seventies.
The dear departed is Robert Bruce, a wrestler who appeared on 'On the mat". After that show folded, he did some stunt work and eventually became an agent. His clients included Temuera Morrison and Cliff Curtis.
Apparently, Robert Bruce was his real name.

Names have been a topic much discussed of late. There seems to be a backlash against people who give their kids "special" names. There is a current thread on the Herald site that discuses this.

The tragedy is that some names gain a resonance that wasn't originally intended. The latest child deaath in NZ was a six month old named Cherish. Ironiaclly, she appears to have died from neglect...
