Clive James - 20 hits, 20 straight BBC Obits.

Shame. I had a film for the next round with Clive James to be picked as one of my three. Alas, I don't think there are three notable picks from that film now. Thinking cap on for next time, once someone wins the inaugural round.

Had Clive James here. Is this a dead Deadpool?

Clive James takes me to 9 hits here.

Nobody's claimed Clive James so far for this one. I will along with any one else who picked him.

Tied for Clive James. Unless I've done one pint too many this afternoon: YW - 10; DL - 12.

Oh my lord, I've never been on top for this long! (Make up your own jokes). Hall of Fame beckons at last? Probably not, lol. Most excitement I've had on here ever though.

Nah I didn't pick Clive at all. Not that it matters ha! Quite a hefty toll this year on the Inverse, surprised I don't have a higher score tbh.

Poitier for the last of the 2010s, then no more.

Just home after a busy day. Caught it on TV this afternoon. Always objectively laughing with the silliness of the world while at the same time absolutely loving the world. A top class thinker who was always one of us. Nothing he did was without substantiating and affirming our own idiocy and our own brilliance. I'd like to thank him for making me laugh, making me think, making me weep. Probably simultaneously. RIP.

My old mum's favourite chef was Rhodes. Maybe they are somewhere sharing recipes. RIP.

Looks like some folk on here attended St Ewart Hall.

The Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies had one less admirer when Hilary Minster died 20 years ago, aged 55.

Getting to the thick end of OldWillz Estate. Brother sold his old SNES and a few games for £145. Now disposing of his Atari with some games - apparently the Mario Bros game alone is worth £50 he tells me! All this stuff is worth generally more than the collections of stuff my parents gathered over 60 years.

Richard Lindley, BBC and ITN correspondent obituary: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2019/11/19/richard-lindley-dashing-television-reporter-inquisitor-itn-bbc/ Can only find a clipped clip of his Panorama interview with John Nott on the Falklands in 1982. However, in these feverish times of election, here is the News at Ten reporting on the Blair landslide of 1997. Lindley voiceovers the Lib-Dem gains about 11 minutes? in. Worth watching for THE Portillo moment and Chris Leslie's victory over Sir Marcus Fox - the political equivalent of your grandad getting a kicking from a teenager. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXU2NCde3KI
