It’s been a big week for icons of British television – not only have we seen the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who, perhaps the most treasured BBC series of all time, but the potential return of the UK’s best-known comedy troupe. by Graeme Stirling As many of you may now know, it was announced yesterday that multi-million-selling author Tom Clancy has passed away. The internet has changed the way we receive such news, which now often comes in extremely short, rapid chunks shared over social networks and spread across search results. Every story on every news agency page is listed as in development. Even so, it never feels like less of a loss. Clancy, aged just 66, died at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins hospital following a short illness, as confirmed by his doctors. He leaves behind a massive, multi-media empire and a legacy that has hugely influenced a whole generation of thriller writers, film-makers and game designers the world over. |
