From the blog-post-bag (virtual)
Funny the things the internet throws up.
I'd just been watching something taped from last Christmas... An M.R. James ghost story from '73 with Simon Gipps-Kent. My partner and I knew him from the Tomorrow People and stuff. Wondering about what had happened to him I told Carl I'd look him up. Seems he died from morphine poisoning, suspected overdose, 1987. The Google also threw up an entry on said actor from your blog (very good, by the way) from 2003. One of your readers mentioned a car-crash. I'm afraid the morphine story is more pervasive. Whatever happened, he's no longer around.

What's interesting is, when I first posted the Simon Gipps-Kent stuff, there was no Wikipedia, so it was more a collective pooling of conjecture and ignorance. Now, with Wikipedia, I guess that's formalised.
