I loved watching ’ a place in the sun’ and Jonnie Irwin was my favourite presenter. He was too young to go. RIP Jonnie Irwin. Your tv show really made my rainy days at home more bright and cosy and feeling I was transported to these sunny destinations.
I’m looking forward to that Bob Marley biopic. I believe it is centred around the Exodus album when they are exiled in London. Barrett played on that but I don’t know if it is significant in the film.
I do recall that he provided a useful link between John Major and elements of the Irish Republican movement that it was difficult to have direct links with. It ultimately didn’t pan out for them but he did demonstrate how it was possible to have difficult discussions. Sad to see that he has passed.
Actor David Jayston has passed away. He was excellent in Tinker Taylor all those years ago. A good and underrated actor imo. He also had a great singing voice and starred in the west end theatre production of The Sound Of Music as Captain Von Trapp I believe. RIP.
