Is this the first faller from your megalist, @msc?

Report of the death of Daryl Dragon, of Captain and Tennille: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Daryl-Dragon-of-Captain-and-Tennille-dead-toni-celebrity-503813061.html?akmobile=o RIP.

I'll try and keep this short. I liked the idea of possession (a la Spiders From Mars) unfortunately it's yet another Pertwee idea (Green Death/Arachnids In The UK) rip off. I think the dig at UNIT's suspension was more at Trump - allies who have withdrawn support. Noice, just blunderingly done. There was an air of menace...when they were actually focusing on the Dalek. The whole soap opera extended highlights on Ryan's dad could have been kept within the action, rather than stand away...made it look like we were watching two programmes at once. However Ryan and Grandad's acting knocks the spots off most in the whole series (Alan Cumming was delicious though!). This would have been a much better story had it not been a Dalek. Why not just invent a new alien who could have done everything the Dalek did? It didn't sit well with Dalek lore. Imo, the writers need to read more speculative science journals like they did in the old days and extrapolate from their imagination, rather than watch Doctors and EastEnders and think they can throw a bit of alien in.

One of my discounts for this year. Along with JR. Flair was one of my subs for my main team.

Quite quite derogatory in my opinion - those Belgians really know how to insult folk.....

You realise of course if I enter this that I'm putting my application to join The Tomorrow People on the line? I'll get back shortly.

Candy Davis is 57 today!

Hello!

They go on honeymoon, while very ill?

Get out of it you slaaaags.... Ah, I don't miss watching it one bit...

Gleneagles evacuated yesterday after fire at the hotel: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-46725201 No evidence Lord Watson of Invergowrie was seen in the area....

Did this turn into the Advent Light Smattering Of Snowflakes? Have we only had the one hit here, or am I dreaming?

God rest their souls now you've picked them....

Died 31 December....as I understand it....

Ruth Strauss and June Whitfield dying in 2018 was a kick in the balls. One for each ball in fact. Nevertheless, my teams are probably the strongest I've ever picked. And I'll probably not make the top 100 now...ha!

Well done @Vaagheid! Wait a minute...4th? Oh yeahhhhh! Think I'll be joining The Tomorrow People with that performance!

Or Linda Henry....

Hopefully nobody picked Adrienne Cullen, @Spade_Cooley, as she seems to have died on 31 December: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/warrior-who-fought-against-hospital-negligence-dies-at-58-5ft79jw8d?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1546345524 I see G3mma Epst3in was picked and as previously confirmed she died around Christmas 2018. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/cancer-patient-who-filled-cups-13796989

I'll go 7. Though I think there are 8 hits there.

To be honest, I preferred her in Beautiful Thing...goes off to hum some Mama Cass....
