People you thought were dead

[C C Csiders]

The sad death of Wolves legend Derek Dougan (RIP) on Sunday was a double shock for me, as I could have sworn he died about two or three years ago.

Similarly, I was shocked when Ken Russell appeared in celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, as he dies about 6 years ago by my recollection.

Peter Denyer who played Denis in Please Sir, and the Fenn Street Gang in the early 70's, was beaten up outside a pub and killed shortly after filming stopped on these shows, only to turn up about 10-15 years later in Dear John.

Have you ever thought someone was dead only to see them return from the grave?

I was sure that Joan Simms was dead.....But I dont think she is.....

I seem to recall Harold Bishop died in Neighbours only to come back years later and it was all a vivid dream.

The magic of television take Booby Ewing in Dallas he died and then was found in the shower after Pam realised that she had dreamed the whole thing. But it did spell the end of Dallas so not all bad

Every time you see Keith Richards, you wonder whether he has been exhumed for the occasion...

Someone told me that 2Unlimited had died in a car crash once and I totally believed them. Scared the **** out of me when I saw them on Top of the Pops a couple of weeks later.

That puts a very different complexion on "There's No Limits"...

:eek:

Mike Yarwood - I was sure he was dead, apparently not.

Clive Dunn - how long has this man been a pensioner for? He must be 120 years old now....?

Mine was first, though... so your punchline would have fallen flat...

They probably confused 2Unlimited with fellow Europopsters The London Boys, who did die in a car crash during the 90s.
