Thought they'd died years ago but one only died last year and the other is still alive. Not surprising though as it not that old by today's standards. late 70s
he was on that BBC4 series on Rock n Roll over the last few weeks.......I wouldn't have recognised him if they hadn't put his name on screen
Patsy King who was Erica Davidson is still with us, must be knocking on 90 now...
I thought I was going to astonish myself and find that Lizzie was still alive, but she isn't - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheila_Florance - Mind you, I'm now astonished that she's been dead 24 years, and was only 70 at her very oldest in Prisoner, and 62 when it started...

Looking at that wiki, she would've been 99 on the 24th of this month...
Before that, in 1897, the New York Journal reported that the writer Mark Twain had died. When he heard of this, Twain demanded the right of denial to this in the same paper and made his famous quote: "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
Other famous people who have had premature obituaries printed include:
P T Barnum
George H W Bush
Fidel Castro
Sean Connery
Alice Cooper
Johan Cruyff
Ernest Hemingway
Bob Hope (twice)
Rudyard Kipling
Nelson Mandela
Pele
Jimmy Saville (in 1994. Some might have cause to regret it wasn't true)
Britney Spears
The list is actually quite lengthy. Moral of the story: Don't believe everything you read in the papers.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that that not only that the guy who plays Major Major in Catch 22 is still alive but that he is also Professor Proton in the Big Bang Theory.
Without doubt one of THE best conspiracy theories ever, and helped in no small amount by the fact that McCartneys entire head does in fact appear to have completely changed shape...;-)

Even the Queen has been a victim of a couple of premature obituaries the last few years.
