I can see why the BBC didn't hire you as an obituary writer :p

I’m sure this has been mentioned but it’s definitely time for Michael Caine

Marlene Dietrich's daughter, Maria Riva, is serving as an executive producer for the new TV series based on her book about her mother: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/diane-kruger-marlene-dietrich-tv-show-1235230767/ But how much of a role is it anyway?

I was thinking, is this the highest quality of hits the DL has seen in one year? It's at 11/50 now and those eleven: The Queen, Poitier, Gorbachev, Lansbury, Godard, Jerry Lee Lewis all huge A list names. June Brown and Estelle Harris massive TV stars in their own countries. Loretta Lynn a big name in music. Bill Turnbull, while not on their levels, was a familiar and much-loved daily TV face in Britain for the past 20+ years. There's also Robert Durst who is the outlier but even he had a lot of current infamy due to all his murdering and the Netflix series coming out about him. None of this Bill Gate's dad or Kirk Kerkorians this year, it's nearly all been your cream of the crop.

Well, now it's official, Jerry Lee Lewis has decided to retire. A point for theoldlady, Great Uncle Bulgaria and CaptainHemlock : congrats ! No point for @Book nor @Charles De Gaulle as he was your sub, sorry… Can you both choose another sub ? thanks ! @theoldlady : Giorgio Napolitano in at n°9 and Rolf Harris in @Great Uncle Bulgaria : Douglas Hurd in at n°14 and Glynis Johns in @Captain Hemlock: Sam Donaldson in at n°2 and congrats on your first point of the pool and Steve McMichael in and @The Daredevil : I'm afraid it's too late to join, you would have an advantage by choosing people you may wouldn't have choose in the beginning of the pool and it wouldn't be faire to the other players… I'm sorry about it

You always know when the Germans are in the hotel, they take every fucking seat they can get their hands ( not Hans ) on.... Tomorrow Lady FN and myself will put towels and anything else on all available chairs to claim them.

Joanne Woodward, dammit! Ha, I cast my vote for Phillips.

Saturday evening. I'd like to drink to the changeability of power...

Guardian Columnist and former Granta editor Ian Jack has died aged 77. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/oct/29/ian-jack-guardian-columnist-and-former-granta-editor-dies-aged-77

Rolf Harris came in as a sub with Marian Fuks' death a few days ago. As I have most uncharacteristically had 2 people die on me within the space of a few days I think I need another sub. Glynis Johns please.

This took me a second or two...

Team sent.

I think so. Maybe Leslie Phillips. These two are the most obvious candidates.
