Did many of the early bird entries have Jody Gormley as their joker?

I never saw that coming.

Still no QO for Arnold Yarrow!! https://www.nationalworld.com/culture/television/arnold-yarrow-bellal-oldest-doctor-who-cast-member-dies-104-4902661

Man United will probably sign him now.

Steadfast resolve and delicate reflection gave way by turns to a warmly consoling conclusion. The Allegro giocoso, with rasping contrabassoon and fluttering piccolo to the fore, was a riot.

A Grundian QO for Haynes https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/13/roy-haynes-jazz-drummer-dies-aged
