Elijah DuckettThanks for your emailed tributes following the sad death of Danny O'Dea, who played Eli in the series.  He was aged 91. Eli was a much-loved character who will be sadly missed. 

Fan Dkpubs said in an email: "Just the other night, my wife was wondering why he wasn't on all the time. We both always looked for Eli to provide a wonderful sidelight to the show. This is almost getting to be too difficult to deal with. But, chin up, this show will go on, and we are so much the better for having had him in our lives for so long. Thanks Danny."
