No one can be in any doubt that Alexei Navalny has been put to death by Vladimir Putin - simply because he had the courage to oppose the Russian tyrant. With this murder Putin plunges new depths of depravity and drags his country further into the darkness.
Alexei Navalny showed incredible, impossible courage in his fight for Russian democracy.
His death is terrible news for the Russian people.
My thoughts are with his friends and family, as well as his supporters across the world.
My dear dear friend, Michael Jayston has left us today. I am absolutely devastated. He was warm witty, clever naughty and a very fine actor & wonderful man. My thoughts and love go to his wife Ann and daughter Katie. Heartbroken Goodbye my friend
We were very saddened to read of the passing of Michael Jayston earlier today. All at Big Finish send love and condolences to his friends and family. RIP.
If I ever become a rich enough, I am definitely bringing back Blake’s 7. Not a reboot, a continuation. 20 years later… the daughter of Avon.
So make me rich, download my books!
(It will take a lot of you to make me enough 😂)
