Submissions closed! We ended with 27 teams in total. Thanks for the support everyone. Please double check my list for any issues with your submission (spelling or birth date especially). I will be keeping a running count, best I can, of any misses from the shows picked. Best of luck! Let the game begin

Dead.

Australian singerJudith Durham, best known as the frontwoman for the folk band The Seekers, died at 79 years: https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/entertainment/music/australian-singer-judith-durham-dies/news-story/ As a solo artist she has released albums like 1994's "Let Me Find Love", which cracked the Top Ten in Australia.

Carl Kabat, who went into hospice care a couple of months back, has died at 88. Fingers crossed he somehow gets a QO for DbN and Windy City.

The blows keep coming. OldWillz and Mrs OldWillz big fans, so a lot of her voice in my childhood homes. Georgy Girl and Morningtown in particular. If there is a beyond, I know they will welcome Judith with open arms. RIP.

Lot of interesting teams indeed. Surprised no one picked Coronation Street or Last of the Summer Wine. Best of luck to everyone playing. My pick Steve Halliwell is born in 1946. His birth date on IMDB is incorrect.

I'll be interested to see who is crowned the winner sometime in early 2024.....

I'm glad she had longer but hope she didn't suffer. RIP.

Suggest, to get over a possible loophole, that we ban Match of the Day/Monday Night Football-type picks for the next round, lest anyone decides "any sportsman ever" is a valid option.

Sad news Surprisingly not on either BBC or British Sky news websites yet.

Worth noting that Guy, Potter and Woodley are still performing together as The Seekers.

St Elsewhere was my first choice then changed my mind, just as well. Wee point about my pick Marcus Welby, MD it ran from 1969 to 1976, you have it down as 1995 @MortalCaso Best of luck to all in the game.

The Carnival Is Over

I believe I have pointed out all the crucial times Bawjaws was on holiday at critical times for the country. This time however he has an excuse, because he’s powerless anyway. Still believe this lot are still not laughing at you?

M. Night Shyamalan, the Indian-born American film director, producer and screenwriter who rose to fame with the successful horror-thriller film "The Sixth Sense", is 52 today.

Ivan Putski is 81 now. That's beyond ancient for an old wrestler. Probably gone in next 2-3 years, but then how is Abby still going FFS? Has Greg Valentine aged at all in 40 years? Doubting it. Jimmy Hart is 80 next January. There's a man whose looked after his health. Also, see Luke but no Butch, whose health has been poor in recent years.

Lots of very good and interesting teams but I must confess that I haven't heard of half of the programmes mentioned!! Good luck everyone!

Let's assume for a moment the thread choice for this post is satire in 2022.

The make-up artists on The One Show must be miracle workers.

Congratulations on your victory, @gcreptile. Your team was very competitive. Well done, master. And congratulations to you, too, @theoldlady. You're an excellent player, too.

His page says died on 5 August, so first thing I do is then go to "Deaths in 2022" page, then look under 5 August, where he's listed with this source.

Former American professional baseball pitcher Ray Culp who has played for the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox celebrates his 81st birthday today.

Most sources are saying she’s expected to live

Oh you make me feel like a luddite. All my lists are on old fashioned A4 paper in a bookbinder file tucked away in my bedroom.! Whenever I check old long lists it's rummage rummage rustle rustle galore of paper!
