But there's one person, and one person alone, who holds the title of the very first death on the show. Meet Rob Ostlere, who was fresh out of drama school when he landed a part in the show's pilot. But little did he know his six minutes of screen time would have such an impact on his life.

The final episode of the series airs this Sunday. On Monday morning you can catch our q Screen Panel, who will be here to unpack the show's legacy.
