I was just watching the F1 highlights and the showed a shot of Frank Williams.
For some reason I thought he was dead.
Anyone who you thought was dead but is still going - and still in public life and on telly?

Allegedly.
After his stroke it always surprises me how long he has lasted.
But then again Kirk is a tough old bastard.
Denis Healy
Jeremy Thorpe
I was just about to say 'Bernard Cribbins'.
For some reason I always get him and Michael Bentine mixed up. I know that one of them has died but I can never remember which one.
Sorry Bernard. Good to hear you're going strong.
I do know that Luise Rainer is still around. She's 104 now, I think. She was born in 1910.
She has a show on Radio 2 every week....:)
Olivia de Havilland is a name from antoher era, that's still alive.
The other funny thing is when you find out people that died a long time ago in soaps (like Arthur Fowler or Dr.Legg) are still alive.
Same here. I was truly surprised when he was mentioned during the news coverage of Hurricane Katrina. He went missing during the hurricane, which had people fearing he had drowned, but he was found safe. I thought he died years before this.
I just meant that it would be more surprising that if you thought they were dead but they were still on telly.
Bernard Cribbins is a good example with him being in Doctor Who a few years back and became quite popular again for a while.
He's been on Celebrity Pointless and The One Show this year. Is that the same as being retired?
