Bill's funeral today. If there could ever be such a thing as a good funeral, that was it. We entered the chapel to his family's choice of music, In the Arms of the Angels[/] and left to Bill's choice, Bat out of Hell. At the do after, so many funny stories and so much warmth.

Bill would have loved it. xxx.

Glad you gave him the best possible send-off, Sharky.

Thanks, JBC.

Dario Fo, the Italian playwright. I saw an excellent version of his "Accidental Death of an Anarchist" performed in London back in 1989. An awesome talent and he'll be greatly missed.

Ah crap. Studied his work at uni and performed Accidental Death - still one of my favourite plays.

I saw Can't Pay Won't Pay on a school theatre trip in about '83 - it blew me away. An amazing playwright, a true radical and a very funny writer.

I stopped watching corrie after Hilda left, and the closest I get to watching soaps these days is reading Judge Dredd. Hilda Ogden remains one of my favourite tv characters ever.

I had no idea she was still alive.  I haven't watched it for probably 25 years myself and probably never wil again.  Her era was fun though.  More innocent times.

years ago I worked with an elderly woman with down's syndrome and was totally blind (she could make her eyes stand out on stalks-shudder and if she wanted to clout you she never missed) she could do the most spookily accurate impression of hilda calling for stan.

Hope it's BS!

Warren Ellis has said on Twitter that it's official. Terrible news...
