Grandpa Munster dies.
Al Lewis, the actor who played Grandpa in the cult 1960s TV show The Munsters, died at the age of 82 on friday. I had no idea that he was a former basketball player who became a respected talent scout, ran a restaurant in New York's Greenwich Village, wrote two children's books and campaigned as the Green Party candidate for governor of New York.
I used to love watching The Munsters when it was on BBC TWO. I loved the theme tune and loved their car even more. They don't make 'em like they used to. I'm sure Eddie now works in the photocopy shop oposite where I used to work!
