Shirley Valentine actress Pauline Collins dies aged 85
Actress Pauline Collins, who starred in Shirley Valentine, has died at the age of 85, her family has announced.
That's very sad as she was a great actress and I always enjoyed the 'Hello Wall' sections. Herself and John Alderton made a good combination too.
Sad to hear of the passing of Pauline Collins. Did anyone feel that the coverage of her death implied that she had died from Parkinson’s Disease? - which to the best of my knowledge is not possible - from complications associated with PD, yes, but not from PD itself.

Very sad. He wasn't old.
Martin Parr, photographer (1952-2025). Most famous for his photographs of the British working class (The Last Resort, 1982–1985), Parr lived in Boyle Co Roscommon after his marriage in 1980. There he produced his third photographic book A Fair Day: Photographs from the West Coast of Ireland (1984) that depicted “a sympathetic record of a society caught between the thrall of the past and the lure of the 20th century”, and possibly the best record ever of abandoned Morris Minors in the Irish countryside.

Sad to hear this and a bit of a shock as he was performing up to quite recently. Vocalist and songwriter with one of the great country-rock outfits who emerged in the 1990s. Hugely popular here - I first saw them in Galway (The Warwick?) back in 1994 at a Budweiser-sponsored roots festival and quite a few times after that. What a voice he had for those who like that sort of thing...
