Wot a shame. Always came across as not taking himself too seriously. He had a fantastic original voice as well.

Weirdly, speaking of Greek singers - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-30984851

What a pity - and odd timing.

Never again will a falsetto in kaftan and green boots be referred to in the best ever Play For Today.

It looks like EU retribution. :(

Bloody tosser.

"Shamed cyclist Lance Armstrong believes the time is coming when he should be forgiven for doping and lying - and told the BBC he would probably do it again".

Why forgive him if he says he'd probably do it again?

Bloody tosser!

I think it's brilliant but then I'm a very big fan of Mike Leigh.

And Ken Loach.

Hope you enjoy it once you have managed to obtain a copy. :)

This is interesting - I read the script a couple of years ago and found it boring/bland. I've never actually seen a production. Maybe it's just not my taste.

On paper his stuff probably does look boring/bland but when performed it is very funny. Especially Janine Duvitski.
