Some further sad news I discovered by social media today:
Bit late for the 1st piece of sad news, but sad to report that Professionals producer Raymond Menmuir went to join the late Brian Clemens, passing away on 26th March 2016 at the age of 85; he was cremated on the 30th March. He was in fine spirit apparently, when the last time major Professionals fan Bob Rocca spoke with him albeit some while back now. (Bob was "45Doyle" on the old forum). RIP Ray - a good innings and thanks for your work on a great series.
Also apparently today shockingly - Mark Farmer - , another very sad loss, he was an excellent young actor in Grange Hill, and Johnny Jarvis (which I've yet to see) and mostly well known to us as "Justin" in Minder. He was just 53.
Not sure how it has been found out but it was on FB.... but Wikipedia has been updated to reflect this, no details of cause of death. RIP Mark.

Sad to hear about the premature death of Mark Farmer, a familiar tv actor from the 80's. His imdb comments mention fellow actor Gary Shail breaking the news on facebook.
RIP.

Sad news about Raymond Menmuir and Mark Farmer  I think a lot of Minder fans have often wondered what happened to Mark after he had appeared as 'Justin' in some of the 1984-88 episodes. Vi |
