Funeral arrangements just announced.
No cremation. She’ll be interred in a time capsule, to be opened in 2099.
…buried on Tracy Island…
Thought she was already in the ground? ‘Here’s one we buried earlier’
Too early?
Did you also bury Rowan Atkinson kicking and screaming?
I buried him head first in a turkey.
RIP Terry.

Terry Stamp starred in one of my favourite ever films, the little known The Hit, directed by Stephen Frears. It also starred John Hurt and Tim Roth in his first film, a superb debut. A road crime film with music by Eric Clapton and Roger Waters. Stamp played a London gangster called Willie Parker who turned supergrass and gave evidence at the Old Bailey against his old criminal mates. There is one chilling scene which has always remained with me, as he is led from the stand after giving evidence, his old mates in the dock started singing the old Vera Lynn song, “We’ll Meet Again”, (led by the blind pianist/singer Lennie Peters of Peters and Lee fame). The movie then resumes ten years later when Parker is living in Spain incognito, when he is kidnapped and delivered to the gangster,(Peters), who Parker helped put away. It’s a crime road movie and a very good one, well worth checking out if you can find it. I haven’t seen it for years, I must track it down.
Stamp of course was linked with some beautiful women in the 60s, notably Jean Shrimpton and Julie Christie, they were immortalised as the Terry and Julie in the Kinks classic, ‘Waterloo Sunset’.
RIP.
