Literally never made the connection to that being an OJ joke until it was pointed out here.

I still don't really get it.

Literally never made the connection to that being an OJ joke until it was pointed out here.

Same but I put that down to the delay from it being aired in the US to it being aired on BBC 2, which must have been three to four years.

I don't think I'd even have been aware of the OJ case when I watched it the first time round, either. I was 6 when the trial happened, and then 12 when this episode aired on BBC 2. Can't say it's something I recall being aware of at that age.

Another prominent role was as King Théoden in the Rings trilogy.

A statement from his family is expected soon.

Bernard Hill was due to return to TV screens in series two of The Responder, a BBC drama starring Martin Freeman, which begins airing on Sunday.

I’d argue he’s best known for the eternal line, “Gizza job”.

What a touching tribute to her memory.

[RetroCora]

Supergran is way before my time but I've heard of it at least, RIP. Also, I realise this is the pickiest of things about an obituary, but Milton of Campsie is about half the distance to Glasgow as it is to Stirling(I live about 15 minutes away in the car). What an odd signpost by the BBC.

[kazanova_Frankenstein]

I still remember the words to the Super Gran theme song.

Gone too soon
