Here's the original, from over a year ago Dunno which I prefer.

Oops, forgot the link for LotM: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2018/celebs_D.html#duggann018

Noel Duggan. Padraig's twin brother, has died suddenly aged 73: https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40984541.html Noel was a DDP pick for me on my TOTP theme team in 2018 @Death Impends so List of the Missed. He wouldn't have been eligible for me again until 2025.

Report of the death of Joyce Sims, who had several UK charting singles in the 1980s. https://www.soultracks.com/story-joyce-sims-dies Edit: Looks like her cousin posted on Twitter - Joyce seems to have died on 13th October by the looks of it. Probably better known for Come Into My Life (#7, January 1988) but a miss for my 1986 TOTP theme team this year as she hit #16 in May 1986 with (You Are My) All And All (but who is going to pick a seemingly healthy 63 year old?):

Some of us remember his turns in A Kick Up The Eighties and Tutti Frutti, Nuns On The Run I saw in the cinema. Came from my neck of the woods, a bawhair from where I am now. This year's BBC In Memoriam might need to be 2 hours at this rate...

Just to keep track of the fillums, Robbie Coltrane who played Rubeus Hagrid, has died. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-63261204 Ocht, a wee shame.

The man who made the junior doctors go out on strike, arriving just in time for the nurses to go out on strike. Marvellous.

Kwasi Kwarteng.

Ironically, it's all very taxing, isn't it?

Official - Kwarteng sacked.

If she were to go today (unlikely), the list of living ex-PMs would just become unmanageable. She's more likely to say Number 10's door will be painted a nice shade of buttercup yellow...

Ralf Wolter's death should be popped in here. https://www-pz--news-de.translate.goog/startseite_artikel,-Winnetous-letzter-Freund-ist-tot-Schauspieler-Ralf-Wolter-gestorben-_arid,1760442.html?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc

I wondered why the UK is suffering from a shortage of removal drivers - they are all down Whitehall...

Ralf Wolter seems to be a hit here.

Charles Guthrie isn't dead, but here's a death notice for his wife Catherine (nee Worrall): http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/260100/guthrie You know what they say about widowers on here... maybe one to watch?

I recall someone decrying the very existence of a Dustin Diamond thread. He was dead in 2 years after that post. Bawjaws was so up himself he went round a ward of COVID patients thinking he was Lady Diana spreading the disease and catching the thing himself, nearly saving us 2 years of sad leadership. Truss is even more of a dangerous idiot. Deserves her own thread as possibly the shortest tenured PM anyway, but a PM without a thread is like burying Angela Lansbury posts in the Hollywood threads. As I never tire of saying, Gordon Brown has two threads!

Received honours from Prince of Wales: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11311317/Dame-Vanessa-Redgrave-Commander-British-Empire.html She's still standing better than she ever did...

Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland school shooter found guilty with aggravation of all 17 counts. Jury not prepared to recommend the death sentence, on grounds of mitigating circumstances.

Steve Roberts, sometime drummer with UK Subs who did some singles and albums, reported dead by the band:

LBC speculating that decision made to remove Truss, pending a plan to install replacement.

Death Notice for Bruce Pairaudeau, West Indies Test cricketer, aged 91: https://notices.nzherald.co.nz/nz/obituaries/nzherald-nz/name/bruce-pairaudeau-obituary?pid=202977306 Noticeably born in then British Guiana and died in New Zealand.

Angela Lansbury's death means she falls from That's Entertainment I and III according to the above lists, for completeness.

PMQs back. Why does she always look like she's hard of thinking? There's a furrowed brow after almost every opposition question, as though she's just heard it for the first time. Couple of things struck me. Unless I missed it, that is the first time in about ten years that a Tory leader hasn't mentioned the lowest unemployment figures ever, which came out this week. She answered a question from her own side about waterways and that the growth programme would be done hand in hand with environmental protections. The very next question (on fracking) from the opposition she answered with more fracking, more North Sea licences and admittedly more nuclear. Frightening pivot in a matter of seconds. She says she understands, but quite clearly she doesn't, or simply doesn't give a shit.

Lansbury another shared hit for me. YW - 7; DL - 10.

Whoo, 8 massive hits for me with Angela Lansbury.
