Iain (M) Banks
One of the few authors that I bought "sight unseen" for over 25 years, and I was almost never disappointed. (And even when I was, it wasn't for the quality of the writing, just engagement with the story.) |

| Ray Harryhausen. Along with Gerry Anderson, a formative influence on my childhood and yet I never really knew what either of them looked like until many years later. |

Former PM Margaret Thatcher, age 87.
I think that's the first person on the 2012 list to pass away this year. |

| Gerry Anderson's mind left the building long before his body and soul went to join it. If only he could have had his brain capacity preserved and restored, Joe 90 style... |

Whilst Jack Klugman and RIchard Rodney Bennett both deserve their obituary coverage, for me they are both trumped by Gerry Anderson. Thunderbirds are Gone.  |

| Hey, if anyone wants to take this on next year, by all means. I'm going to be on vacation from later this week until well into the new year, so I don't have the time to set it all up. |

Sir Patrick Moore (89)
As someone who lives in the middle of a big city, making "real" astronomy all but impossible, Patrick Moore was for many years my virtual guide to the universe, and The Sky At Night was one of the few shows I have been watching all of my life. I'll miss him. |
