Michael Crichton: Author and ER Creator

Although I wasn't an avid fan of ER, I remember thinking at the time how brilliant it was and how it elevated the medical drama to a whole new level.

    He is one of those people who everyone in the western world will have read one of his books, seen one their adaptations or watched ER

    presumably then the reason Henry hasn't already posted is that he's gone into mourning!

    Sad day.......

    bloke was a brilliant author. One of my favourite films is The Adromeda Strain and only last night I was watching Disclosure on Sky for about the 30th time - another cracking fim and the book is miles better. Same with Sphere.

    RIP.

    I loved ER from the start and am not looking forward to the final episode next year - truly groundbreaking TV

    Blimey, you make it sound good - what have I been missing? I find it hard to believe that there's anything that could be groundbreaking about a hospital drama.

    I've never watched ER...

    I did see Jurassic Park but got bored long before the end and I've never read any of his books.
