Anchor Any idea what happened with Rhodes? All the gossip back in the day was he was a huge speed freak.
king_of_the_slums Think he was living out in Dubai, no chance of it being drugs out there I wouldn't have thought. He was on TV quite a lot out there, seemed a bit slower and older, not sure if he'd had some issues. Stroke maybe?
space "...he came to prominence in the early 1960s in the comedy revue Beyond the Fringe with Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and Alan Bennett."[/b] That was The Beatles of satirical comedy.
Reggie_Perrin Quite the day for celebrity deaths. I can say I have really enjoyed the output of all these fellas at one point or another. Cheers. RIP.
zico Harvest They gave the same incorrect information out on 5 Live from someone who sent a text in. Probably Sarah.
Reggie_Perrin fulmine he did and never ever seemed flustered or rushed. I read that as the mark of a very self confident and, I imagine, pretty handy bloke. Built like Bob Hoskins' big brother.
