Nice to see Jeremy at the England v France match and standing in solidarity with the French people. He paid a nice tribute to French player Lassana Diarra whose cousin was murdered in the Paris attacks.

Sad to hear about the death of Bollywood star Saeed Jaffrey who was 86. Apart from being a big Bollywood player, he was no stranger to British television and cinema with roles in A Passage To India, Gandhi and The Man Who Would Be King, and earned a Bafta nomination for his role in 1985's My Beautif...

Probably understandably lost amidst the tragic events in Paris is the death last night of Warren Mitchell who was 89. Best remembered for his portrayl of Alf Garnett in "Til Death Us Do Part" and later reprising the role in "In Sickness and In Health", his other credits included ...
