He was also the guy in the limo that is asked if he has any Grey Poupon. "But of course."

Ian Richardson wasn't in Foyle's War. That's Michael Kitchen who plays DCS Christopher Foyle, and Michael Kitchen is still very much alive. It's a great series.

Here he is as Bill Hayden in Tinker Taylor. I had thought he played Toby Esterhase but looking at the picture I remember it was the character Bill Haden, the man who had an affair with George Smileys wife and also ended up being the double agent.

When that Kitchen guy had his appendix removed the doctor was perspiring. His assistant proclaimed "If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen" (the preceding is most likely entirely false but you have to admit it's cool)

Oops! Thanks, Weiner. Thought his face looked fatter there! I think I recall watching Foyle's War a long time ago. Like to see it again. I genuinely English productions. Superb actors, including this man Kitchen. (Glad to know he is still alive!) Ketchup, putting you back in the fridge. Very cool in there.

Kathy Griffin's father died. link Kathy Griffin’s dad John died recent stories about Kathy Griffin Kathy Griffin's dad John died Bravo renews Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D-List for a third season Gold Rush's first round ends; Kathy Griffin is blogging for the show Kathy Griffin no longer speaks to Matt, doesn't "particularly love men right now" Kathy Griffin loses an Emmy to Extreme Makeover, while The Amazing Race wins two Emmys VH1 may be interested in Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D-List Kathy Griffin and Matt Moline are officially divorced but "were absolutely reconciled" for season two >> more storiesJohn Griffin, Kathy Griffin’s hysterical father and one of the stars of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, has died, according to Rosie O’Donnell. On her blog, Rosie writes, in her trademark quasi-poetic form, that “kathy griffins dad died”; Kathy “arrived just now/in miami/only to hear and turn around/back home 2 him/and her mom/reality tv must wait/as it should.” She also notes that Kathy “was to perform/on another R FAMILY VACATION/leaving tomorrow.” Rosie posted late Saturday night, so presumably Kathy’s dad died that day. To commemorate his life, here’s a bonus video from the first season of Kathy’s Bravo show; it’s not his funniest moment ever, but it’s all Bravo has on their site. Kathy goes to her parents house to before her interview with E!, and her dad characteristically says, “You know, you’re interrupting Judge Judy.”

I saw this on Rosie's blog (Kathy was going to be on the cruise this weekend, but got the word when she arrived in Miami). Having watched Kathy's "Life on the D-List," this news made me more sad than I expected -- he seemed like a genuinely funny guy.

"Are You Being Served?" actor John Inman dies Thu Mar 8, 4:04 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Actor John Inman, best known for his role as camp shop assistant Mr Humphries in the long-running BBC comedy "Are You Being Served?" died aged 71 on Thursday. Inman, who later became a pantomime regular, was one of the sitcom's most memorable cast members and his catchphrase "I'm free" became part of popular culture. In 1976, he was voted "Funniest Man On Television" by readers of TV Times magazine and was also named BBC TV's "Personality Of The Year." He died at St Mary's Hospital in London after having been ill for some time, his manager Phil Dale said in a statement. "John, through his character Mr Humphries of Are You Being Served? was known and loved throughout the world," Dale said. "He was one of the best and finest pantomime dames working to capacity audiences throughout Britain. "John was known for his comedy plays and farces which were enjoyed from London's West End throughout the country and as far as Australia, Canada and the USA." Inman's long-term partner Ron Lynch was "devastated" at the news, the BBC said. Actress Wendy Richard, who played Miss Brahms in "Are You Being Served?," said she had been regularly visiting Inman who had been seriously ill with Hepatitis A. "You just have to regard it as being an end to his suffering," a tearful Richard told BBC radio. "I think John was one of the wittiest and most inventive actors I have ever worked with. He was a brilliant, brilliant pantomime dame. He was a very good all round actor really." Inman's character Mr Humphries attracted criticism at the height of the department store-based sitcom's success from some gay rights groups who were upset by what they saw as his portrayal of an over-the-top homosexual. "He never ever said Mr Humphries was gay," Richard said. "He was just a young man who was very, very good to his mother."

Now Mr. Humphries can finally be "free" from his suffering. Rest in peace John, and thanks for all the laughs.

This one probably won't be recognized by a lot of you, unless you follow blues religiously or live in the Portland area, but it hit me hard this morning when I saw it in the paper. " Paul deLay, the larger-than-life Portland bluesman who redefined the harmonica and its musical potential, died Wednesday morning at Providence Portland Medical Center from end-stage leukemia diagnosed just days before. He was 55." If you like the blues and ever had the pleasure of seeing Paul Delay perform. . . well, he'll be missed.

I love the harmonica. It can be an amazing instrument. 55 is young.

Jimmer, Paul could blow that harmonica better than anyone I've ever heard. In the blues community, he was known as one of, if not the best harmonica player around. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live several times, both before and after he served five years for drug trafficking. He was clean and sober for the last 13 (I think) years and his death is a big blow to the music scene here. To me, Paul deLay and Linda Hornbuckle are the two standards in the Portland music scene, although there are lots of talented folks here, they have always been my consistent favorites. And yeah, from my 51-year-old perspective, 55 is very young.

I never was a Boston fan but he's the same age I am and that's scary. Does anyone know how he died?

Sad news, his voice made that band. I wonder if he was ill, it was not stated what he died of.
