Yes, and also several of them didn’t even reach 100, and quite a lot were never even actors. Never mind that though, just a weird ass clip all round. Silly music and why the robot voiceover and listing their causes of death?? Feels like something diego would do on his weekend when he’s not copy and pasting on here from Wikipedia about Surinamese athletes that came in 40th place during the 1960 Olympics.

Just got back from the big screen, which in-between the 2 episodes feature a nice clip of Millie thanking everyone for coming. Thoughts on the finale below.

You are sooooo naughty Will . You'd never make a lady or a Grand Dame!

Spoilers for series final.

Fisting??,!! I'm sure Vera Lynn was far too elegant a lady to fist anybody!! My love of a good bottom has never extended in that direction!

I like Vera Lynn but I agree this is a stupid move. It is totally unacceptable in economically challenging times to spend public money of that magnitude on this. I think fundraising with lots of voluntary contributions or even a few larger benefactors should easily cover this. This kind of thing signals desperation in an election. I love Joan Collins and Tom Daley for very different reasons but I wouldn't advocate huge public money to pay tribute to them at any point. As I indicated this one is tricky for me-I love Vera Lynn, she sent .my ill Nan a lovely autographed letter and CD cover years ago and thanked her service in the Women's land army in World War two and to be fair I'm pretty sure Vera Lynn herself would not have the attitude the public especially in very tough times should pay for this.

After watching The Netherlands vs France last night, I reckon there's a decent case for VAR being crowned Player of the Tournament. His ability to prevent goals is truly awe-inspiring and he played a pivotal role in ensuring France got a point. Forget Donnarumma, VAR is clearly the best shot-stopper in the tournament.

Jot him down as missing in action and once we find him we can write that he's been found here or scribble a short note on a post-it to remind us to do so. (That's enough biro puns - ed)

Current DL pick Prunella Scales is 92 today.

When the Conservative Party are saying anything under 20k majority is lost and efforts must be refocused on constituency with a larger majority, you know the game is up. Meanwhile my social media with my friends in Moor View show the serious disquiet in Mercers actions. I get the feeling he had the call saying all is lost and this smear was the final desperate roll of the dice. Edit - not even 8am and Mercer has lost it.

Ah, but I'm doing that deal half price remember. I think the existing proposal might be slightly different. Also, if she is sucking off Churchill we could entitle the work "Vera Gives Goebbels".

I would gladly see my taxes go towards a statue of Vera Lynn fisting Hitler. We are very different people.

Wow, Norman Lloyd turned Welsh before he died.

Tell you what, this is going to be one of those threads I’ll read back through in future when I fancy a laugh Election Night here is gonna be a fuck side better than the BBC and Sky!

Mixed bag of results so far for me. My 21st, 24th and 25th place songs are out, but so are my 5th and 11th place ones.

Today we laid to rest my Granda who died Tuesday evening, he was just short of 92 and until the start of last year he was still able to live independently but had gone down hill physically since but he was Sharp as a tack. Very much the end of an era as Gran went 9 years ago but they left a quare legacy as when we counted all their descendants and their partners it came to over 100!!

I can't imagine Tom Baker giving the fuckingest shit about when LFN thinks he's going to die, to be honest.
