Ah yes, I can see why OSCAR NOMINATED actor Sir Ian Holm with big roles in several of the biggest films of the last 50 years (Alien, the Lord of the fucking Rings trilogy, Chariots of Fire, Madness of King George, several Brannagh Shakespeares, The Hobbit, The Aviator, The Day after fucking Tomorrow, to name a few) wouldnt be A list. Not to mention Brazil (a bigger hit now than on release) or the Fifth Element (fucking massive at the time).

I'm Canadian and I demand a 'Beachcombers' thread! I mean, if you don't mind, please?

Just home after a busy day. Caught it on TV this afternoon. Always objectively laughing with the silliness of the world while at the same time absolutely loving the world. A top class thinker who was always one of us. Nothing he did was without substantiating and affirming our own idiocy and our own brilliance. I'd like to thank him for making me laugh, making me think, making me weep. Probably simultaneously. RIP.

Very slow times for the Hartlepool but there were two reports of deaths today after a few weeks of a drought. First being Clive James, who much like Valerie Harper lasted so long that he dwindled to only four pickers at the time of his death. Those patient beneficiaries are YoungWillz with 45 points, the_engineer with 35, Pedro67 with 30, and Mad Hatter with 25 sub points. And while far from a massacre, the death of William Ruckelshaus causes some further ruckus today. Your host's theme team of Nixon officials is off the mark with 20 base points and 8 bonus points for uniqueness. Not a lot of drastic change in the scoreboard as a little over a month remains... 1. theoldlady 363 2. John Key 277 3. RadGuy 264.5 4. msc 262 5. the_engineer 253.5 6.

Fuck off Bearer you attention seeking cunt.

Dancing With The Stars is the same show as Strictly Come Dancing, just an alternate title in certain countries. And since this threads title doesn't specify the UK version then anyone who passes from the UK,USA,Australia's etc version of the series could theoretically be posted in this thread. For example if 5 TIME 5 TIME 5 TIME 5 TIME 5 TIMES Worlds Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzionowski had an unexcpected death it could be posted in this thread * He was a runnerup in Polands version of the show in 2008

Kinda folk who might die and if you don't pick them, well..... Yoko Ono Bernard Cribbins Richard O'Sullivan Joan Plowright Ozzy Osbourne (really has to be on until, you know, the inevitable) Tom Baker (New Clive Dunn, can't miss a Doctor's appointment) Michael Parkinson Pele Barry Manilow Any Presidential Candidate (they are out on the stump in gun-lovin' America) Jerry Lee Lewis Betty Boothroyd But hey, what do I know?

Seems appropriate that waiting a long time for our next hit finally took place by a person we were waiting a LONG time to become one. I refer to Mr. Clive James of course. A letter C hit for a couple folks (3 points). A surname J hit for a few others (4 points). Squeaking in with that 1939 2-point bonus!

David Gulpilil- Australian Actor has terminal lung cancer and weeks or months to Live .Don't need to go on a "Walkabout" to notice he is a guranteed hit if picked Lata Mangeshkar -The Bollywood Legend has spent the last 2 weeks in the hospital(And the family is saying she is "just fine" like all people who have long hospital stays) Everton Weekes -One of Cricket's biggest Icon's had a heart attack this summer.Turns 95 in Feb John Hume-He would be the first person to die who appeared in an episode of Derry Girls. A name that is too big to miss Beverly Cleary -One of America most succesful Children's Author's Turn 104 next year. Arguably way more succesful/notable then Wouk who appeared on DL multiple times, which makes her selection overdue.

James Watson of DNA co-discovery (and racism) fame merits consideration. A rarity of a science-y name recognizable enough for the front page, and in poor health since a car crash late last year.

This is another thread what shouldn't exist -- you and your goddamn English-centric horseshit. Buried a top 10 American TV show thread but you let this treacle exist.

Dame Vera on Boxing Day

I had an interesting film in mind but then John McEnery died so I empathise.

I will be entering again cheers to you @maryportfuncity

Oh my lord, I've never been on top for this long! (Make up your own jokes). Hall of Fame beckons at last? Probably not, lol. Most excitement I've had on here ever though.

Hi Ulitzer95 I appreciate your comments and welcome your alternative suggestion. I think I will keep my original suggestion on this occasion as a bit of a wildcard entry as every year there is always a death that catches us all by surprise.

Seems legit.

Au revoir for Philippe de Broca on this day 15 years ago, aged 71.

The last dance for Bill "Bojangles" Robinson on this day 70 years ago, aged 71.

If you dropped Daily Mail most likely the only people who would lose obits are 80+ yo Us sports and sitcom star's who's obits are copied and pasted off Associated Press. The FFBI types still get some combo of Sun,Mirror and Express,and matter of factly DM just straight up copies and paste their ffbi obit's from them.
