The day of his fall in all its technicolor detail

In December 1998, Nimmo attended a National Treasures celebrity lunch in the boardroom of the Daily Express newspaper along with Sir Peter O'Sullevan, Joan Collins, Dame Beryl Bainbridge, Dickie Davies and Sue MacGregor amongst others. He had recently returned from a Middle East tour of Run For Your Wife[disambiguation needed] and was in sparkling form. After lunch he asked to be driven to the Garrick Club for further refreshment, and then returned to his Kensington home. He and his wife later went out to dinner. On their return, Nimmo was checking an external alarm when he lost his footing and fell down a stone staircase into the basement.

Is all this detail really necessary? None of it has anything to do with the circumstances of his fall, except for the bit about losing his footing while checking an alarm. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 20:33, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To be absolutely correct, Derek Nimmo was first admitted to Atkinson Morley Hospital in Wimbledon before later being transferred. My stepdaughter was at the Atkinson Morley at the same time as Derek. His lovely family were visiting at the same time as me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.113.65.163 (talk) 00:34, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More to the point, it's all completely unsourced. It needs to be removed. Keresaspa (talk) 18:00, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The point of the passage seems to be to insinuate that he was drunk. Six years, and it’s still not removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.29.251.54 (talk) 20:19, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
