TV Forum Watch News and Information Board
If it's in relation to who I think you mean, it's already going on in the CBBC thread.
*whistle*
this is much more worthy of having a thread than the usual old person dies / person dies of cancer threads. It's still the people who just post "RIP, a great loss to television he will be missed" that do my head in. TV Forum is not infact a book of condolance, its a discussion board and if you don't have anything to actually discuss then what's the point of vomiting fake greif onto the site?

"He has to be larger than bacon"
Hmm, I posted the news about it in the CBBC thread to try and avoid causing too much of a fuss, and was careful to limit what I said to just pointing out the facts as they were and a link to the BBC website. I didn't know the bloke at all so wasn't going to put RIP and all that sort of stuff.
It's so false though, people just see it as a chance to increase their post count, I'm sure most members find this event sad but our words are meaningless as we have no real connection with the person involved, other then seeing him once every couple of weeks on TV when we were younger.
Another death, another question of "who?" from me. I don't know who this Speight guy was or do I really care, people die and that's it. Can't go "wah, it's a terrible loss" for everyone unless you knew them personally so what reason do these people have? Make them feel attachments to people they barely knew, barely cared about? Why? Look, look at this from the king of shite, pad
It's Diana's fault, yknow.
For who is it distressing? You? Fuck off, not it isn't and if it is, I pity you. If you didn't know them and they died, would you still care if someone randomly told you? Fuck no so why this stupid little tearfest about someone they only know through the conduits of television and later the tabloid press baffles me. You're not their family or friends so cut the fucking crap about RIP and whatever else, step back and stop with the fake empathy because if makes me nauseous and if I'm going to get sick, I'm doing it on you.pad wrote:This is so unbelievably distressing... he was arrested for his girlfriend's murder, was absolutely innocent and guilty of nothing other than being so utterly distraught and broken at his loss that he couldn't even go back to his flat.
And now he's gone too. He was so talented and, well, it's just so sad.
R.I.P. Mark.

The morbid fascination of celebrity deaths - and also the way the media can, implicitly or explicity, push certain people towards it - is something that will never go away. Mark Speight is the latest in line of "victims" or whatever you wish to call them of this trait.
I feel sorry for Mark Speight's family and friends, as well as Natasha Collins' family and friends who without a doubt are still grieving the loss of her. Part of me (the one that has gone through depression and the desire at times to take my own life) is disappointed that Mark felt so desolate after the loss of his partner, and the treatment by the press surrounding her death and the subsequent investigation, left him unable to seek help from the ones he loved and/or appropriately qualified to do so that could have prevented his death.
However, I don't think Rest in Peace is an appropriate to use, especially when Natasha's death, which led ultimately to his own death, was a consequence of consuming a substance that can have a fatal effect. (I am not condoning or criticising the use of such drugs; each to their own, but they should be aware of what can happen...) In the last months/weeks/days/moments of his life, he wasn't living in peace, so how can he rest in peace?
Oh, and Luxton is out of order for his dig at Gavin; it was tactless, unprovoked, deliberate and as bad as the gutter tabloids. But that's people like him - which at the moment I find hard to describe - for you.

I admit that I am very sad at the news of his death, as I was about Natasha Collins's, but I didn't pour my heart out over them both, so I've refrained from commenting on it. I did watch him in SMart and See It, Saw It when I was younger and found him very talented. However, at least now it is over and he may now well be with his girlfriend, which could be what he wanted.
Anyway, that's that, and I agree that Mr Luxton shouldn't have said that about Gavin.

Had to be me didn't it.
Not a fan of Metropol Asa?Asa wrote:I am going to make the point publicly as well as privately Gavin that this is NO PLACE for discussing your continuing, increasingly tedious issues with Simon. I find it deeply annoying that you've used this place, and this thread in particular considering tonight's news to use with your views, quoting a post on another site.
You know full well you could have contacted myself or the mods privately about the filter, contacted Simon in person about the post, or the Digitalspy management about it.
It's coming across as attention seeking and inciting a flame war and I won't allow threads to be continued to be derailed because of it.
You want to moan about Simon - use your own bloody forum.
