Tinky Winky dead at 52
Simon Shelton, the actor who suited up and portrayed Tinky Winky as part of the Teletubbies ensemble has died.
He collapsed in the streets of Liverpool and subsequently died of hypothermia on January 17, 2018. The funeral is scheduled for 7 February.
Condolences to his family. My then two-years-old son was a fan.

R.I.P.
The Teletubbies were amazing; I remember flipping through the channels one day and seeing them..."Where were these guys when I was still doing acid!!!"

Living in Liverpool? Poor bastard. At least he's gone to a better place.
An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

Hypothermia? Did no one pick him up off the ground?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

His soul was still dancing I guess

Apparently not. I had trouble finding out why he collapsed too. Once he had, apparently he was left to die as no one was aware of him having collapsed.Originally Posted by Strike For The South
Odd to see this thread in the front room, as I expected it would generate more discussion of an edgier nature than typical for the "kingdom of sweetness and light."
