Very sad to hear an hour ago that my friend Tony Currie has passed away after a recent illness. Tony was the face of Scottish Television and BBC Scotland when I was growing up, the first voice ever heard on Radio Clyde. He was the father of my friend, the comedian and broadcaster @juliasutherlandstandsup and he and I bonded some years ago over an obsessive love for vintage TV, radio, lounge music and comic-books. I remember seeing him on Glen Michael's Cartoon Cavalcade when I was 9 showing viewers his comic-book collection and was delighted to become a good friend of his as an adult.

Tony was such a laugh, an Encyclopedia Scotlandia of all things pop culture and the most incredible name-dropper in the biz. I was talking about a famous actress over lunch one day and he looked delighted, showing me a birthday message she had recorded for him some days before. I mentioned Herb Alpert and he scrolled down his texts to show me one from him too. There was nobody he didn't have an amazing story about and even as a pro of some years standing my pals and I would sit at his feet and hear tales from the great man. When he and his beautiful wife, the broadcaster Karin Spalter, moved to their beloved Lismore this still continued with friends and I sometimes takes a dinghy across the water to this spectacular Scottish island, making an annual pilgrimage for lunch and to listen to some new vinyl he had picked up or new band he had discovered. Selfishly, I'll miss our chats and his weekly radio show on the non-profit channel he started http://radiosixinternational.com. The Lively Lounge was the highlight of our week.

But the real condolences are for his three children, Karin having predeceased him shortly after their move from the mainland. Karin, some may recall, was our Starlight Granny in a Millarworld marketing campaign a decade back and just as much fun as Tony.

God bless all the Curries on this sad day. Rest in peace, T! by @mrmarkmillar

Yes, my wife has hosted another Jane Austen themed lunch where our guests have to dress in Georgian clothes. After taking her to so many Comicons with people dressed as Klingons over the years I am in no position to complain…. by @mrmarkmillar

Flew back to Scotland at the weekend to see friends and family, Frank Quitely and I pictured here on Saturday with the legendary John McShane. John owned AKA Books and Comics, the best comic store in Scotland, when Frank and I were teenagers and encouraged us at every step in our careers. Love him, of course, and pay homage to him with a lunch when I’m back in town… by @mrmarkmillar

I know my friends at mighty Marvel are casting X-Men right now so let me suggest Magneto for free. @bendanielsss is pretty much Britain's best actor at the moment. This is like getting McKellan a generation ago. The man's electric and has a range and a gravitas like no other. He would be PERFECT. by @mrmarkmillar
