    Any dead CUKers care to fess up?
    Ever wondered if there might be Time Travelers on CUK ?

    DOH! Yes, you're right. I was thinking of the other guy in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", Lee Van Cleef. And according to IMDB he died in 1989.

    Quentin Crisp died about 5 years ago, aged 90.

    The people recorded in the 1950s for the laughter track used on US sitcoms must almost all be dead by now.

    Also I think Quentin Crisp (the Naked Civil Servant guy) appeared in a couple of films released five or more years after he died.

    It definitely sounds like the basis for an Outer Limits episode.
