Could go in many threads, but I choose here for TISWAS. John Gorman is...wait for it...83 today!

Aunt by marriage of the country deserting prick, Cylla, Lady Dugdale - widow of former Aston Villa chair Sir William Dugdale - dead with a bloody QO: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2019/01/04/cylla-lady-dugdale-accomplished-painter-amateur-pilot-aunt-david/ Wiki (Mention): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_William_Dugdale,_2nd_Baronet#Family

I persevered with ABC Murders and watched the whole thing. This was almost like they had sat down and said "Well everyone knows the story, so WE will throw in THIS and give it equal weight and it WILL be good". Now, I'd say a fairly intelligent child of 10 could have worked out the murderer at the close of episode 1. Because, like yer turkey on Christmas Day, it was presented on a plate. Regardless, I maintain the acting in this is some of the best I have seen on BBC drama in years.

Team PM'ed to you @Deathray!

Stephen Stills is 74 today!

Obit requirements?

Not happy Tandy is not a unique for me, @machotrouts, ha ha. Only joking, whatever went on this year with his health just had me suspicious enough to pop him on my team.

There's enough distance now. So, I'm the instinctive kind of guy, so there'll be a few names here you might know, might not. 12 Lords A-Leaving etc: Alex Ferguson - 1st Male Sub - Bad in the brain, I still think it's possible he'll have a re-occurrence. Ric Flair - 2nd Male Sub - Who sits down throughout their whole wedding? And boozes before tributing on the BBC? Still, he's still going and marriage might be good for him for a while. Franco Zeffirelli - 3rd Male Sub- Age and Forum speculation got him here, but I don't know enough to put him up there. Linda Nolan - 2nd Female Sub - Didn't qualify for my TOTP theme team, else she'd have been on it and with so many ill dames out there, didn't make it. Nichelle Nichols - 3rd Female Sub - Again, deteriorating for ages, but not ill enough to beat out the competition. Others considered: Hugh Rossi (former MP who just lost his missus last year); Robert Morse (Oldwillz watching an old re-run); Actor Patrick Murray (seems to have COPD, but not advanced enough, still did the Jolly Boy's Outing later); Chaz McDevitt (one of those he's still alive? picks); Bunny Wailer (of Bob Marley etc) I'm going to regret not picking him I think he's pretty far gone. Comedy Cremations Robert Fyfe - Sub - old and ill Summer Winer. Richard O'Sullivan- Sub - dropped this year, looked pretty good meeting Prince Harry's missus, I may put him back on next year if he lives. Others dropped: Jackie Mason (he's getting up there, but the gefilter fish and dumplings are good); Mel Brooks (don't want to admit he'll go); Mike Yarwood (who knows, once he hits 84 he might return to my team). Hits of 1983: David Paich (Toto)- Sub - seems to having issues especially with touring, edged out by Tandy of ELO for similar reasons. Elton John - Sub - about time for another illness during his tour. One wrong move onstage and pow! Rod Stewart - Sub - his appearance on Strictly was enough for a subs spot, not the main team. Think he had a spot of pneumonia, weak chest etc. Others considered: Mick Foster (Foster and Allen) simply on age, still touring; Meatloaf but when I submitted my team I hadn't seen the latest pics, might be a huge miss; Larry McDonald (Monyaka) he's 81 and a drummer!!!!!! but I'm not sure he'd obit; Don Powell (Slade) might have picked him, but only one space per band this year was the rule and Jim Lea has been very ill; Dionne Warwick simply on the basis that Aretha success might have gone to my head!
