    Apparently she had recorded some new songs but her label did not like them. I wonder how long it will be before they cash in on her memory?

    The name of David Croft may not mean much to many but had a hand in bringing to TV some of the greatest TV comedies ever seen. My childhood was brightened by many of them: Dad's Army, Are You Being Served, It Ain't Half Hot Mum, Hi-Di-Hi and 'Allo 'Allo.

    Whether he went "off the boil" later or I just moved on in terms of my comedy I am not sure (though seeing any of these as repeats still makes me laugh).

    Thanks for all the laughs, David Croft, who has died at the age of 89.

    Sorry, I couldn't have made it too clear. As Tim mentioned, he was a prolific comedy writer.

    Ah, the writer!

    I loved that show, and I'm sure much of the comedy stems from his pen.

    Sorry to hear that he passed away.

    He did a lot of orchestral rock arrangements, but that's about as much as I know, I'm afraid.

    Sorry to hear him go.

    I think there's some of his work you would like Thor, particularly 12 Hours of Sunset, he also did work on Mike Oldfield's Incantations and Hergest Ridge.

    He has also worked in film and TV though to a much lesser extent, notably THE KILLING FIELDS and choral direction on Morricone's THE MISSION plus TV scores for Hammer House of Horror.

  18. Steve Jobs, dead.
    The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else.
  19. No wonder he resigned. May God rest his soul.
  20. He's in iHeaven now.

  21. Certainly in the iCloud. wink
    This actually has saddened me quite a bit. More than the usual entertainment personality death. Partly because in a world where it seems corporations are starting to become more important that governments, Steve Jobs seemed to have a knack for delivering the voting-with-wallet public what it wanted. I sometimes wonder if the present governmental financial catastrophes around the world would be nearly as troubling if individuals of the calibre of the late Steve Jobs were responsible for the solutions.

    Pardon!

    That's a bit of a shocker. Although he has been ill for a while his death highlights again how quickly cancer can pull you down.

    With pancreatic cancer I'm amazed he lasted another five years (taken his liver transplant in 2009 as well).
    With everyone's bitching at times (including mine) there is no way around it that he was a TRUE innovator with a vision that was -aforementioned bitching notwithstanding- espoused by the world.
    A role model for entrepreneurs.

    Yes, he was. I read the news about his death on an iPhone.

    Quite a story of life he has!

  27. I wonder how many souls on this planet have learned about his death on the products he created.

  28. Products he created or products that were created by competitor products that would not be around because of his insight? Everyone!

    I think that it was Jobs who was the driver of the innovation in Apple. I was told once that the Apple company is not a good model for how a company should do true innovation. It was an individual who was innovative and then the company was focused to deliver on a single man's innovative vision.

    I am not sure how Apple will retain that "Innovation" label now that Jobs is gone.

    Alan, I think you hit the nail on the head.
    It should be interesting to see (from a business kind of view) where Apple goes now. Many analogies with 1996 when Apple was about dead after the Windows juggernaut really took off. It was Steve who pretty much single-handedly turned a wilting company around.

    My fear obviously is that Apple will continue more and more on a monolithic path, just expanding on the products they already have. If so, they'll become another Microsoft....but far, far more proprietary...which would be damning.

    Certainly one of the greatest personalities of our era. Rest in peace Steve Jobs.
