6 pointsYeah, my uncle died in his late 80s a decade ago. When the family mentioned this to one of his neighbours, their reaction was: "Oh no, and he was going to fix up my kitchen!" He remained active and healthy, right up to the day he felt a bit tired, went for a nap, and never woke up. A proper shock, yes, but still considerably preferable to him suffering from cancer or dementia for years imo.

Also had a recurring role in The West Wing as the DNC chair, a spot in one of the last original X-Files episodes (about an evil Brady Bunch house, it's crap but he's good in it), and more recent roles in Yellowstone, Fringe and American Horror Story. He was also in 2010's zombie flick The Crazies, as the true to life Mayor who refuses to quarantine his town as shit breaks down.

2 pointsTerrible news. A few months ago I got recommended on youtube a video of him participating in an one-hour podcast/interview (September 2021) talked about his roles on tv, in films and especially his role as Dr. Arne Magnusson in video game Half-Life 2: Episode Two (2007) he was sharp, didn't sound weak and could still read his lines from that game , still working and I can't say he looked great but I would've said he probably won't go during the next five years.

1 pointJon Pertwee died on this day 26 years ago, aged 76. Pertwee first rose to stardom as the character of Chief Petty Officer Pertwee on the radio show The Navy Lark beginning in 1959 (he co-starred with longtime DeathList pick Leslie Phillips). Pertwee was also a stage actor, starring in productions of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and There's a Girl in my Soup. Pertwee appeared in three Carry On movies in the '60s- Carry On Cleo, Carry On Cowboy, and Carry On Screaming! Pertwee was initially chosen to be the role of Captain Mainwaring in Dad's Army, but he turned it down, wanting to continue his stage career. In 1970, Pertwee's began his most well-known role as the third incarnation of Doctor Who, starting with the episode "Spearhead from Space". Showrunner Peter Bryant originally wanted Ron Moody to play the character, but Moody was unavailable at the time- Pertwee was Bryant's second choice. During his tenure as the Doctor, the show was broadcast in color for the first time, and the character's personality was made similar to James Bond. Pertwee decided to step down from the role in 1974- once again, to continue his stage career. The final episode to star him was "Planet of the Spiders", and Tom Baker was his successor. In 1979, Pertwee took the role as the title character of family sitcom Worzel Gummidge, a scarecrow who can magically come alive. The series was a massive success, and Pertwee even recorded a song as the character (it reached #33 on the charts in 1980): Pertwee made his only DeathList appearance in 1989, despite still being quite active at the time. He appeared in the final Carry On film, Carry On Columbus, in 1992. He continued making cameos as the Third Doctor, which includes the fanmade Doctor Who episode "Devious" (filming began in 1991), and a series of commercials for the wireless company Vodafone. Pertwee died in his sleep of a heart attack.

1 pointMMMDP Form Guide #11 Ethel Caterham Ethel Caterham, sources close to Ethel have stated Boris Pahor is nothing but a young upstart and his presence in this form guide is a distraction. He should fook off to places where q/o requirements are more demanding and leave this form guide to those who're nailed on local press write ups when they die, particularly if they're 112!

1 pointSurely you know "State Of Independence". Best known version is probably the Donna Summer one, but there's also an excellent version on the Moodswings album with vocals by Chrissie Hynde.
