Finally finished my review of 1987. So here's a Top 30 of 1987 as promised. (I've had to rule out some great choons in favour of others just because they hit the same spot on the chart - not easy to do, you may have your own favourites!).

At 8 this morning I Iooked East and saw the moon with something slightly smaller directly underneath. Word going round that it was Venus making an appearance.
Is that a crock of shit? If not, I think that's the first time I've seen Venus. Pretty neat.
Well, I'm going to Newcastle for that one then.
Because I was in Oxford for the one this summer and ended up walking half a mile trying to remove houses and trees from my line of sight, never did, and damn near fell in the canal at Iffley lock in the attempt.
Indeed it was and he was instrumental in bringing colour tv transmissions to the UK which started on BBC2.
Snooker show pot black was one of his ideas and it led commentator Ted Lowe to say on an early show, "and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green".
First post here.
Barbara Windsor has to be considered - dementia progressing and now has heart problems.
Jimmy and Rosalynn carter should be constants from now on so that the president and First lady streaks continue.
Queen Elizabeth should return so that the her death is not missed by the list because it would be the biggest UK death since the formation of the death list.
Agree Shelia Mercer should be added as well.
Doris Day should stay on the list as well
June Brown maybe dropped as she looks in decent health and is still working and Paul Gasgoine is too unpredictable for the death list unless announced as suffering from liver failure or similar.
