Don't know why in particular, but I was really knocked back reading that today, since I never met him or was particularly a fan. Maybe it's that there've been a couple of pieces on the Beeb in recent times touching on his battle with cancer and giving out really positive vibes about his recovery, then it came to nought.
A similar thing happened with Bob Monkhouse that time. And Paul Eddington. Just made it more of a shock than it might have been otherwise I suppose.

So farewell then... Jack Palance, the film actor. Not sure if he ever got a lead roll but he played the baddie very well. I remember him in SHANE as smiling gunfighter clad in black who contrasted with the whiter than white Alan Ladd as Shane.

. . . David Ervine.
After turning his back on violence (he served time for possession of explosives) he played a key role in the Good Friday Agreement.
Apparently a man with a brilliant sense of humour, he learned enough Irish while at Long Kesh to confuse republican prisoners by shouting commands in Irish from the loyalist section of the prison.
After emerging as a voice representing working class Protestants in the North, he built links with the British Labour Party, addressing their 1994 annual conference with the words �I don�t want to wake up every morning and ask myself am I British or Irish? I want to think �Am I late for work?�.�
Almost as if playing one last joke on us all, his death was announced at the beginning of the RTE 9.00pm news on Sunday January 7th, only to be replaced some minutes later with the news that he was still with us!
David Ervine died on January 8th 2007 following a heart attack and a stroke the previous day. He was 53.

1) Magnus Magnusson RIP comsummate broadcaster and programme maker.
2) David Ervine RIP. David's loss will be deeply felt in the North as he was a rare voice of reason. He had in the past walked the walk, so when he talked the talk it gave him a credibility across the spectrum. Highly respected all over the island,we'll not see his like again!
