Definitely, I'd say.

Henry Woolf is a first hit here for @YorkshireBanker as we approach the one year mark for this game.

Professional body reporting the death of Hugh Barker, sound man on Marco Polo and The Macra Terror for Doctor Who:

Michael Pointon, British jazz trombonist who also did some documentary work for the tellybox and some interviewing for the BBC radio, dead: https://syncopatedtimes.com/uk-trombonist-mike-pointon-has-died-at-80/ Got a Guardian Obit: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/nov/12/michael-pointon-obituary His South Bank interview with Max Wall meeting Samuel Beckett led him to co-found the Max Wall Society. (Does anyone remember Max Wall these days?).

Don't I know it! A previous pick for me. It's hit Toby Hadoke by now, so hopefully an obit in the Telegraph or Guardian should be pretty quick. And it will be amazing reading.

Twitter reporting the death of Henry Woolf aged 91. The Collector in Dr Who: The Sun Makers, Arthur Sultan in The Rutles, Frankie Barrow in Steptoe And Son, etc etc etc. His connection to Pinter should make him QO. A fantastic character actor. If true, RIP. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0941146/ He's been a DDP pick previously, I assume he still is. Edit: Nope, so List of the Missed when confirmed.

Awful film would still watch it ahead of Die Another Day though

Gavan O’Herlihy, best known for playing Richie and Joanie Cunningham’s disappearing brother Chuck on “Happy Days,” has died. He was 70. Also played Captain Jack Petachi in ‘Never Say Never Again’ https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/gavan-oherlihy-dead-dies-happy-days-chuck-cunningham-1235111188/

Oh yeah, I totally forgot. There was a decent death hoax in February, and I completely forgot. Either way, corrections will be made to Materlist No. 2, and here's a corrected scoreboard: Leaderboard Current leader is signified in bold. KEN - 41 ULI - 32 SOX - 29 ENP - 19 SMO - 18 LYN - 17 DAR - 16 OLD - 15 TOC - 14 TQR - 14 ENG - 13 GCR - 10 CAP - 10 CHW - 9 BIB - 8 MSC - 6 LPH - 6 JRU - 0 Kenny is only 14 points off the maximum, which is a fairly impressive feat alone.

Reports on Twitter Henry Woolf has died. Star of many films, stage & TV but to me he’ll always be the creepy bookshop owner on Words & Pictures.

RIP Arthur Sultan The Surrey Mystic. Yes, I was going to pick Henry Woolf for next year too...

And here's the new leaderboard. Current leader is signified in bold. KEN - 41 ULI - 35 SOX - 30 ENP - 25 TOC - 21 CAP - 19 SMO - 18 TQR - 17 LYN - 17 DAR - 16 OLD - 15 ENG - 13 MSC - 10 GCR - 10 CHW - 10 BIB - 8 LPH - 6 JRU - 0 Kenny has took a 6 point lead - while Joey Russ, who for some inexplicable reason picked only incumbents, is in last with zero.

Twitter reporting the death of Roy Holder. Krelper in Caves of Androzani and Chas in Ace of Wands. He is only the second cast member of the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride & Prejudice to die

And? So everybody who has had a recent link to Shatner can be mentioned here when they die? There are other threads that his death could have been put into with the information that he was on the Shatner flight.

Full Telegraph obit. Also worth noting that Butterfill's death means there are no living former MPs for either of the Bournemouth constituencies.

Val Bettin tribute: https://www.forevermissed.com/valentine-john-bettin/lifestory His Wikipedia page has been updated citing this.

Well some easy, shameless names that were hits in 2020 would not be allowed in 2021, so we had fewer targets, if you will. Still, the Yahoo obits gave us a few hits we wouldn't have had otherwise :cough: Suzy Friton:. We need about a hit per day now though. Not impossible, but a bit unlikely. Some late year-end obits would help. We still had a good number of hits, considering some dry weeks throughout spring and summer.

I have just prepared the 350 name entry form for my 'work' game for 2022 Which is usually a prompt for the people on it to start dying

Stunned, he always looked such a healthy lad on TV:

https://ruthlesspodcast.com/episodes/salute-to-veterans-with-bob-dole-vJvDj_qQ Talked on a republican podcast recently, episode released today. Before the interview one of the podcast boys says that "there's an oxygen machine running the entire time this interview is rolling" and says that they had to cut and redo parts of it but Dole insisted on participating in it. Really impressive that he's made it this far. If he's still alive on the 18th of November, it'll be 9 months since his diagnosis. Seems like half of the people diagnosed with it don't make it that far and he's a 98-year old man with a very impressive health history and has looked like a corpse for years... Dole surviving to 2022 still seems unrealistic to me, however if he does, he deserves the first spot.

That's very "Last tour of Michael Jackson"

Duane Dewey dead https://www.wcjb.com/2021/10/14/sole-ncfl-medal-honor-recipient-duane-dewey-dies/. Also Roger Donlon's Parkinson's disease and overall health has worsened to the point he cannot walk without assistance and is mostly homebound, appears very frail as well and can barely speak. He was there in an interview and his wife had to do most of the speaking.

No signs of dementia whatsoever.
