From his debilitating stroke and wheelchair.

RIP Sir Dickie Attenborough. A true Cinema Great.

I know that Attenborough was unwell for quite some time but 90 is a good innings. His career as a fantastic screen actor and director should be celebrated, which I'm sure it will be.

Indeed. And married for 45 years. Which in his industry is an equally good innings.

The older I get, the better I was

Advice is what we seek when we already know the answer - but wish we didn't

I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full-frontal lobotomy
