Diana, Princess of Wales
Princess Diana was born in England and died in France.
When she was in a car crash, she didn't have a chance.
She divorced Prince Charles of Wales just one year before she died.
Diana was only 36 years old and her death was mourned worldwide.
When somebody dies that young, it's always hard to understand.
She did charity work and was trying to have landmines banned.
Harry and William are Diana's sons.
If she hadn't died, she would be 61.
For many, Diana's death was a devastating blow.
She was a princess who died a quarter of a century ago.

The Death Of Don Henderson
He starred in "Star Wars: A New Hope" and "Doctor Who" as well.
When it came to being a successful British actor, he sure didn't fail.
In Star Wars, Doctor Who and Tank Malling, he starred as "General Cassio Tagge", "Gavrok" and "Percy".
He guest starred in "Last Of The Summer Wine" and "Bulman" and he's been dead for a quarter of a century.
The number of roles that he starred in are too many to list.
He was an extremely talented actor and he has been missed.

The Late Anna Karen
You broke your back at your home in January of 2016 when you fell.
You were the last surviving cast member of "On The Buses" but now you have died as well.
You also starred in "Beautiful Thing" and "What's Up Nurse!".
Breaking your back was bad but your death was far worse.
Because of your talent, receiving fame was what was bound to transpire.
Sadly, you died on February the 22nd because your house caught on fire.
It was very sad to learn that your life ended, your fans are grieving because you didn't survive.
You were a British actress who entertained...

Sanford and Steptoe and Son
It has been fifty years since Sanford and Son was first broadcast on TV. It ran for six seasons and 136 episodes. The very first episode aired on January 14, 1972. It's hard to believe that it has been five decades since that sitcom was first broadcast.
What certain people may not know is that Sanford and Son was based on a British sitcom called Steptoe and Son. Fred Sanford was based on Albert Steptoe and Lamont Sanford was based on Harold Steptoe. But Fred and Lamont Sanford were portrayed by black actors. Albert and Harold Steptoe were portrayed by white actors.

Peter Davison's 40th Anniversary As The Doctor
I began watching the classic Doctor Who TV show in early 1984. I was only twelve years old at the time. The first episodes that I watched were Tom Baker episodes. I've always been a huge fan of the classic Doctor Who, but I'm certainly not a fan of the new Doctor Who.
It was forty years ago today when part one of Peter Davison's first Doctor Who episode aired. It aired on January 4, 1982. His first episode is titled "Castrovalva". At the time, Davison was the youngest actor to play the role of The Doctor. He was only thirty when he was chosen for the role in 1981. He was the fifth...

Scene
Lovely romantic thing
I saw Ted there
As Heathcliff
On your moor
Having climbed over
An ancient stone wall
Avoiding the Brontes
For some reason
Unknown to me
Old flames perhaps
Too tender the heart
Or out of respect
For what is given
And what is received
I saw you there too
Running wildly
Through joy & tears
Your dress cold & damp
But flying willingly
In a wicked gale
Of driving rain
And you’re smiling
And he’s laughing
Like the wolf
At & for the fox
Who...

Sarah Sutton's Sixtieth Birthday
Today is Sarah Sutton's sixtieth birthday. She's a talented British actress who was born on December 12, 1961. If she lives for another forty years, she will live to be one hundred.
She began acting at the age of nine in A.A. Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh". She made her first appearance as Baby Roo five days after her 9th birthday at the Phoenix Theatre in London.
She became the youngest British actress to have played Alice in the 1973 television film "Alice Through The Looking Glass". She was also the youngest actress to star as a companion of The Doctor in the classic...

R.I.P. Bob Grant
I wish that I could tell you that he's still alive but sadly, I can't.
He was a talented British actor and his name was Bob Grant.
I hate to say that on November the 8th of 2003, this gifted actor died.
What made his death even more sad was that he committed suicide.
It was his third suicide attempt and he succeeded on his third try.
I feel sorry for him because he was so unhappy that he was determined to die.
His life ended because of carbon monoxide.
That was how that poor man committed suicide.
