It's because he's been dead a year.

In space, no-one can hear you scream.

Alas no. How sad to hear of his death. It is always good though when a writer of his calibre is celebrated during their lifetime. Plenty before him were not.

David Frost. RIP.

Just popped up on my phone via the BBC News app. I came straight here to post.

RIP David Frost.

Keep busy David, wherever you are... :(
