    Can we move the discussion on Frank Williams on The Chequered Flag thread to here, please? Seems apposite.

    David Ashford, who played Dad in the Seventh Doctor story The Greatest Show In The Galaxy, reported dead: https://downthetubes.net/?p=123826 Was also barrister Charles Lotterby in Crown Court (126 episodes for gawd's sake!). Apparently was cancer.

    Sol Kerzner had undisclosed cancer - lucky stab in the dark. Bobby Wilson and Davie Sneddon were both known to be ill last year. Khrushchev and Latham - just their time I guess. Ian Hamilton isn't gone yet but I was sure he was nailed on for this year - there's been some discussion elsewhere about him recently, but honestly he's looked like he was going to drop three years ago. Still time to hit a six...

    Agent for Kay Purcell, who played Cynthia Daggert in Emmerdale, reports her dead: Looks like it was terminal liver cancer. Big role in Tracy Beaker too. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0700731/

    Live reporting pages have always been used and awarded points before - so it's a real obit for the DDP, ha! It'll filter through to The Herald I presume and maybe the Killie page on the BBC. But it's the festive and no need to wait. Now, is it a record for 5 unique hits on one team, @msc? Probably not, but a quarter of my team have been felled - which surprises nobody more than me!

    My DDP pick for this year, Davie Sneddon, reportedly dead: OldWillz supported the Killie - maybe that's my Christmas present from him. If a Qobit arrives soon, that's five unique hits on my main team.

    Marquess of Bute Johnny Dumfries thumbs his nose at travel ban between parts of UK: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-55414817 I'm sure he can afford the fines of him and his 5 (yes FIVE) colleagues.

    Norman Tebbit

    I'll just add - maybe in light of this "Cuddly Uncle" Norman should be on the DL next year. Be a shame to miss the old bastard.

    Lol, I just edited as you replied. List of the missed.

    Margaret Tebbit dead: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/12/21/dont-completely-forget-forgive-one-has-completely-look-forward/ Think she might be a DDP pick. Just checked - no but I think she might have been in the past.

    Ron Tauranac is still on the List of the Lost, even though he's quite rightly dead on his own entry as he got a Telegraph obit. Just needs removed. Have we no Losters since October?
