Week 46 update

One death this week, the actor Leslie Phillips: Leslie Phillips: Carry On and Harry Potter star dies aged 98 - BBC News

Quote

Although he became known for his plummy accent and exaggerated portrayals of the English upper-class, Phillips was born in Tottenham, north London, speaking estuary English.

He attended Italia Conti Stage School before serving as a lieutenant in the Durham Light Infantry during World War Two - between 1942 and 1945, when he was invalided out.

The 1930s had marked his first film appearances, but it was later in his career, in 1959 and 1960, when he starred in Carry On Nurse, Carry On Teacher and Carry On Constable.

He became well known for his appearances in the Doctor film franchise - succeeding Dirk Bogarde in films like 1960's Doctor in Love - as well as in a series of fast-moving comedies that teamed him with Scots comedian and impressionist Stanley Baxter.

He also took on dramatic roles, including a Bafta-nominated appearance opposite Peter O'Toole in 2006's Venus.

He's been a frequent pick since I started running the Dead Pool. In that time I didn't actually know what he was famous for, I think I just read Harry Potter and assumed he was someone in that. He was the voice of the hat:

The hat! Several of his wives died in unusual circumstances, that's probably worth reading about.

Phillips died at 98 so he's worth 27 Base Points for @amnarab, @buddiepaul, @HI HAT, @ICTJohnboy, @Oystercatcher, @pub car king, @qos_75, @Scorge, @The Naitch and @ThomCat, with a Vice-Captain bonus for @tamthebam giving him 41 points.

Still in the top 100 somehow! If my 2022 team could perform as well as my provisional 2023 team has in the last couple of months, I might've made top 50. Its ok though, I like bagels.

He was certainly well known, and will probably be best remembered  for his "plummy accent"

I thought he was an excellent actor, which can be well demonstrated here in his portrayal of Judge Michael Argyle in the Oz trial of the early 70s.

Just come up on Sky Sports News that Jimmy O'Rourke, part of the fantastic Hibs team of the early 70s, has passed away.   Although not a Hibs fan, i remember the brilliant team they had back then.  He was also a popular owner of the Corstorphine Inn for a long time.
