I don't understand why this redirect is needed. Russell has acted in more than just television, hence the qualification at the end of the name is unnecessary. Please discuss. -khaosworks 01:33, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The link to the Twitter post that informs us of Russell’s diagnosis has been taken down.

Is it possible to verify it?

The Guardian has put out an obituary for him as seen here. Can others confirm? GarethBaloney (talk) 17:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Cook decedent

Latest comment: 8 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Shouldn't we mention how he's also a decedent of Margaret Fleck (1742-1804), James Cook's sister. Which is relevant because all of James Cook's children died childless so he's as close as we get to a cook decedent. Thomas Norren (talk) 07:08, 23 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
