| Welcome to The TV Shelter. We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible. However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique. And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums. And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried. We hope you enjoy your visit. |

http://news.sky.com/story/1116278/lynda-bellingham-reveals-cancer-diagnosis Lynda Bellingham Reveals Cancer Diagnosis 10:15am UK, Tuesday 16 July 2013 Source: SkyNews The actress and presenter Lynda Bellingham has been diagnosed with cancer. The 65-year-old, well-known for her roles on Loose Women and the Oxo television adverts, has postponed a theatre tour, but vowed "nothing's going to stop me coming back next year". Bellingham, who has two children, had been due to start a tour of Kay Mellor's A Passionate Woman in Sheffield in September. However, in a statement she said: "I'm devastated not to be able to honour my commitments to the play this year. "But having toured many times before, I'm aware of the sheer stamina needed and I need to prioritise my recovery. "That said, nothing's going to stop me coming back next year, and I can’t wait to be a 'passionate woman'." No further details of her illness have been given. Bellingham starred in the Oxo adverts, which ran from 1983 to 1999, as the mother of a squabbling family. Her acting roles have included parts in All Creatures Great And Small and the sitcom Second Thoughts, which began on BBC Radio 4 in 1988 before transferring to ITV. She also presents ITV series Country House Sunday and was a regular panellist on talk show Loose Women. Bellingham, who appeared as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing four years ago, has been a high-profile supporter of Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support since her sister Barbara died from lung cancer. Sheffield Theatres artistic director Daniel Evans said: "A Passionate Woman is an extraordinary play about an extraordinary woman, and that woman is Lynda Bellingham. "She is the heart of this production, and it's inconceivable that we would do it without her." |
