I can't, I remember watching it though! It was in the Bamber Gascoigne days. Billy was a local hero then. (VOG)

'Wikipedia death hoax'
[edit]I removed a section of this article describing how he had been mistakenly described as dead in an earlier version of this article, and had written an article about it himself. I just don't think that's particularly significant or worth mentioning. Lots of people have been mistakenly claimed as dead in Wikipedia at one time or another (see Death hoax), but we don't normally note that in their articles. Robofish (talk) 11:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
