Many Thanks 👍

As there'll probably only be about 15 entrants that's highly likely. Aye Which puts the challenge facing the DDP organizers into some perspective, eh? I take it you mean Deathlist not DDP? Anyway I will be very interested to see next years deathlist. I've a feeling there will be multiple British royals on it and fair amount of "new blood" injected with an eye for the long term as many long termers mainstays on the list finally inevitably depart. I've a feeling though that Olivia and Kirk will not both be hits in the same year. Whilst both will stay on the list I'm sure I don't think both will die. My money's on Olivia living another year. Do we know how many people are on the "committee"?

Jim Bowen of Bullseye fame. Had some very poor health in recent years.

Well Telegraph obituaries at least has a twitter account not sure about FT. Surely if it's on the twitter account it's a given its on the main websites obituary page for the Telegraph.

I don't want to contemplate the Queen not living as long as her Mother if not a bit longer! There's been too much upheaval in this country recently and imminently and I welcome the stable element of her being there even though I'm not a natural royalist.
-
Others worth considering for a "punt" include Yoko Ono, Honor Blackman, Kim Novak, Christine Keeler(profumo scandal)and Jane Fonda. Wasn't Yoko quite ill at one point in recent years?

I'm delighted that I haven't come last! and of course there's still time for more late hits!

Given that Zsa Zsa Gabor has been such a mainstay of this forum for so long, indeed is a forum legend who will leave a gap that many are pondering how it could be filled or rather by whom -here is a list of famous women who may go someway towards being the answer to that question. Although of course no woman can replace Zsa Zsa she was utterly unique there are some women worthy of consideration as deathlist looks to the future and a new era. Liza Minnelli Imelda Marcos Joan Collins Maggie Smith Barbara Bush Barbara Walters Barbara Windsor Julie Goodyear Angie Dickinson Shirley Bassey Queen Sonja of Norway Ethel Kennedy Jean Kennedy (last of the Kennedy Dynasty siblings) Clarissa Eden The Duchess of Kent Danielle Darrieux Bridget Bardot Sophia Loren Marge Champion Rhonda Fleming Peggy Cummins Jane Withers Ann Blyth Jane Powell Arlene Dahl Raquel Welch Carol Channing Carol Burnett Some are included because of the state of their health rumoured or otherwise, some virtue of their age and some because it would be a damned shame if they weren't on the list when they died and would be a real miss for the Deathlist /pools. All of them I think especially Joan Collins and Liza are capable of generating much enjoyable discussion, interest, speculation and entertainment and helping to fill the impending Zsa Zsa void as well as creating a new infusion of worthy names as we inevitably start to lose a fair few of the long timers on the list /s. Just some food for thought!

Me thinks Billy Graham

Yup that was me! Now that I'm here I will throw out a few other suggestions for other deadpool game's and the official deathlist Thelma Barlow British actress formerly Mavis Riley in Corrie The Duchess of Kent who seems on the frail side especially when compared to other senior royals like her Maj Joan Kennedy of the famous US political Dynasty Geoffrey Palmer British actor latterly "As time goes by" fame Labour MP Ronnie Campbell who recently had a stomach cancer diagnosis Labour MP Dennis Skinner - Surely ones health can only hold up for so long when your so angry?! What about Gerald Kaufman? I think he's a good choice too but I've already mentioned him as a possibility on several threads so I didn't want to become too repetitive! Other names for consideration whilst I'm not in the land of zzzz American actress Stephanie Powers of Hart to Hart fame -could be confusing her with someone else but I think she had lung cancer a few years ago from which she's still in remission I think? Peter Stringfellow owner of Famous Stringfellows gentleman's club in London. Pretty sure he had a serious health scare in recent years. Jane Powell golden era Hollywood star of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers fame. British author Barbara Taylor Bradford aged 83. Lindsay Lohan

A number of big names over the years have died during the Christmas festive period eg Dean Martin and Nigel Hawthorne I think?? So don't give up "hope" although I'm not sure that hope is the ideal word!

Any news on the health of Michael Parkinson these days? It certainly be a worthwhile pick and one not to miss especially if he was in failing health.

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned "Bullseye" presenter Jim Bowen as he's had several strokes.

I'm not talking about being in the spotlight. I'm fully aware of his heart attack. It was his heart attack, the subsequent updates afterwards that then dried up that were the reason for my initial post!
-
British actor Richard Wilson is looking more and more like a must for serious list consideration especially given the lack of updates in the media on his circumstances.
