2 pointsOoh, I remember him well from Minder but had no idea that he was a playwright, nor that he created Pobol Y Cwm. btw Shocking that that BBC obit wouldn't count as a DDP QO. I would urge Spade to reconsider the matter.

2 pointsGolden Slumbers until January

1 pointConsidering 2013 had 4 hits in December (Mandela, O'Toole, Ronnie Biggs and Kalashnikov), there is a possibility of this year ending with 20 hits.

1 pointO deary, 'Not Dead Yet Tour' shades of David Guest *gets out pencil*........
-
1 pointOK I'm going for the big one. I am going to boldly (and maybe stupidly)predict that the 18tth and final death of 2017 will be none other than the Rev Billy Graham. Either on Christmas eve or Christmas day.(although I'll settle for sooner)

1 pointHe may have shot the queen, but he didn't shoot no royalty...

1 pointHow about Monique van Vooren? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monique_van_Vooren
-
1 pointWell, we got 22 hits on the crowdsource list so far, so the committee may be able to reach that some day...
-
1 pointDenis Norden but for no specific reason as a choice.
-
1 pointAlso: goodness, 18th Death of the Year thread. Never thought I'd actually see one of those.
-
1 point17/50, the bar is set pretty high for next year.
-
1 pointRip. Suprised he came this far.
-
1 point17th hit! I think we will get one more hit before the year is out. December is definitely the dying season
-
1 pointAnother hit! Finally! It was almost sure a hit from him. Anyways RIP KING MICHAEL
-
1 pointGone for Kirk Douglas. Still won't get this...
-
1 pointRIP to a fascinating historical link - amazing he lingered as long as he did.
-
1 pointThread closed. Not entirely sure the condemnation is warranted; we all have to start somewhere and nobody has been hurt. Sadly the chances of a new member surviving to maturity on these forums is probably no greater than that of a turtle hatchling, but maybe Leon can be the turtle who bucks the trend, or something.

1 pointNew members would be well advised to acquaint themselves with the general structure and tenor of the forum before jumping in with misplaced or superfluous posts.

1 pointSo I was ultimately right about the big hit in December... With his death, a great chunk of history is now gone... A great fighter too. Was expected to be the first one to go back in January but fought, against all odds, almost a whole year. Rest in peace your Majesty, at least you are not suffering anymore.

1 point3/4 of this year's cancer "certs" are gone, only Leah remains. R.I.P. King Michael
-
1 pointThree thoughts 1. I finally got an update up before someone reminded me to put up an update. 2. 22/50 in a year - bloody good going everyone, but you know, I think you can beat it in 2018... 3. Oh FFS, all the subs need to come into play now - King Michael was in 2nd place on the 2018 list as it stands!

1 pointBert Lahr stopped acting on this day 50 years ago, aged 72.
-
1 pointHmm... is King Salman of Saudi Arabia worthy enough for the 2018 list? He will turn 82 this year and he isn't exactly the healthiest man in the world; he suffers from Alzheimer's and has had a stroke, and those might not even be his only health issues! And his brothers might want to oust him, too.
-
1 pointThe operative word there. She's dying and has got a show called 'The Art of Living' coming up. That's risky.
