      100.
      Went to see Akenfield at a local village hall a year or three ago, he was due to make an appearance but was unable to due to ill health. Great film, if somewhat esoteric. He was born just a mile or so from us so obviously of local interest.

      He recorded a piece for the BBC in 2019 on how things have changed since he wrote the book https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0009jcr

          One of pop music's greatest composers, Burt Bacharach, has died aged 94.

          He wrote enduring hits like I Say A Little Prayer, Walk On By and What The World Needs Now Is Love.

          Along with lyricist Hal David, he also wrote numerous movie themes including What's New, Pussycat, Alfie, and The Look Of Love, a major hit for Dusty Springfield.

                    Definitely in her case. TV News this morning showed her on the Muppet Show with Miss Piggy. Two of the sexiest ladies ever!
