Gooseberry Crumble

When was Betty Drivers last onscreen appearance? I know she died aged 91 in 2011.

Pete Dean who played Arthurs brother in law in EastEnders recently said matter of factly in a podcast interview that he communicates with Bills family to keep updated on him rather than Bill himself who I gather he used to speak on the phone with. Not a good sign in my opinion. Definitely something to take note of when picking names for your list whether you are on the committee or an ordinary poster.

Just read the news on another thread helpfully posted by @The Old Crem that Julie Goodyear was absent from the 60th anniversary celebration programmes for Coronation Street after months previously being sort of billed as going to appear. A very ominous sign for her health in my opinion and definitely a strong argument for the committee to consider when compiling next years list.

You should have received my list in the last hour so that is another you can cross off the list of absentees!

Joanne Woodward for me. Just a feeling.

Ooh meow!!

I think the enema approves....

With the death of the former French President the deathlist record has been smashed. Despite doubts by some the enema has delivered ....and isn't necessarily finished in terms of official deathlist names and other big names not on this years deathlist......

I doubt I have stolen one of your unique picks don't worry! Our esoteriesoteric and canny mindset seems to gravitate in slightly different directions toward slimming different people! Thanks

@msc Hi and many thanks to you and the team for your efforts. I have what I think is a likely utterly brilliant unique pick that I think will qualify under your rules but I am not sure. Would it be ok to message you it so I can keep the name under wraps and hopefully preserve its unique status if you give it the nod please? I had already decided to try and increase my unique pick quota this year or canny picks and esoteric as you would describe them! So the increase in points for uniques is music to my ears!

Bette Midler celebrates her 75th birthday today.

Clarissa Eden, Ryan O'Neal, James Lovelock , Barbara Windsor, Julie Goodyear, Yoko Ono, Pele and the Duchess of Kent are among some of the many first timers I think the committee should strongly consider for next years list.

Ssssh hush you are blowing my cover!

Footballing legend Diego Maradona another 'hit' for me in this pool.

Argentine footballing legend Diego Maradona a 'hit' for me in this pool.

I'm going to throw Yoko Ono into the mix as a name members should consider voting onto the crowdsourced list given recent reports and indications of declining health.

My mistake I thought you were talking about Joan Collins

88! Shes already 87 as she was born in 1933!

It was interesting seeing Benjamin Ferencz on the news today with regards to the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13194815/guinness-heiress-dies-freak-swimming-pool-mansion/ 19 year old Guinness heiress Honor Uloth died in a swimming pool accident in the family mansion. She died in July but the inquest is being reported now and I could see no reference to it previously on here when I used the search function.
