Hey, you think I'd be announcing his death to CBn otherwise?

I may disagree with Margaret Thatchers politics, but my condolences go to the Thatcher family.

[Loomis]

Absolutely. I feel exactly the same way. It's sad when anyone dies, and, besides, I've never read anything bad about Sir Denis. He seems to have been a very interesting and amusing chap.

i would also like to hear the answer to that, it was a very funny scene, i still laugh when i see it, and the first time i saw it i was fooled

when I was a kid and saw FYEO in the theater.. I had no clue who either one was... ALL I knew was the whole theater busted out laughing...

My condolences to the Thatcher Family, especially Baroness Margaret.

I am not agree with her politics either, but she was a true friend to the US, an extraordinary woman, and she deeply loved her husband, and he her, which is rare in political circles.

Rest in peace sir.

Those lookalikes also appeared in a play about the Thatchers' lives together, which was an interesting fact I gleaned off Channel 4 News.

He was the rock behind Thatcher, always three paces behind.
Rest In Peace, Denis

I think she had them executed.

That scene in FYEO always was an odd ball. If you look at Denis in the kitchen, he smiles towards us! why? where is the camera? The coversation is by telephone. Presumably they are alone in that kitchen, if it is not us he is supposed to be smiling at, then who?
