I remember seeing some of "Til death do us part" when I was younger, but not seen them for ages. Hopefully the BBC will repeat a few of them like they did with "Ever decreasing circles" when Richard Briers passed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say it's unlikely to be broadcast any time soon. I don't think Ever Decreasing Circles had quite the level of racism and homophobia that Til Death had.

To be fair, my memory of the show doesn't extend much beyond "you silly moo!!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) The Daily Mail did an interview with him when he was over here for the Rugby World Cup, he was doing hours of dialysis every day during his month or so in England and he said he was looking for a new kidney donor as his body had rejected the previous one he'd had transplanted. While he was ill it seemed he was managing the illness or at least putting a brave face on it, he was tweeting normal stuff earlier today and was in Dubai yesterday. Must have been a sudden thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhmQlxCDFSc His place in Rugby history is cemented though. He wasn't the greatest player ever but he was the guy who marked the change from the amateur era to what it is today, just a monster of a man. His demolition of England was the stuff of legend, I remember watching the game and feeling it was just one of those days where you had to take your hat off to the opposition. I guess at least he got to see the All Blacks retain the World Cup before he died. Edited November 18, 2015 by The_Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I genuinely couldn't give even a mouse-sized shit about rugby, but even I feel sad about this one . . . clearly an extremely talented guy, and way too young. RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 No way. RIP Jonah Lomu. Just walking through Tony Underwood is how I'll remember him. First rugby superstar for sure. It was never the same after him. It was better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hell no, but he symbolised a changing of the guard. You could argue he dragged the sport kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Everyone else certainly had to react to him and we might not have even seen the best he could have been as his kidney issues disrupted his playing career too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
