Death Notice for Anthony Tryon, 3rd Baron Tryon, aged 78: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/229755/tryon

You might have to take him off that list. Various Twitter sources are reporting Glauber's death.

Report of the death of Gary Tollett, who sang backing vocals on Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day":

Penny Cook, Australian actress who appeared in Neighbours and A Country Practice, dead at 61 from cancer. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-27/penny-cook-a-country-practice-actor-dies-aged-61/10670110 IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0177226/

Always possible he might get a bad dose of the Chegwins...

Well, The ABC Murders is quite frankly, shite. Don't get me wrong...acting's pretty good. The adaptation though is making the whole story one-dimensional and practically obvious where it is going, focusing on Poirot's background and demons is missing the point. Hastings might not be necessary to the story, but missing him out means the viewer is not personally engaged. And the guy playing Donald is the least handsome I've seen in any adaptation. Shame, it's one of my favourite stories.

Nice to see Eric and Ernie's show with Ronnie Carroll tonight. With Ernie casually introducing "the IRA sketch"....different times...

79 today! Dead on Hogmanay!* Put a wall of sound to that, Phil. *Got him in this year's Hare's Pool.

With Sister Wendy Beckett's death, that makes 3 of my drops from 2017 to bite the dust this year, along with Mary Ellis and Burt Reynolds. Hmph!

One of my first picks on here for various things, however, I lost faith. Enjoyed her programmes. RIP.

Here's a couple of Twitterings, make of them what you will:

Came across this thread during a search for something else. So I updated it.

Speculation about The Olsen Twins contained in this recent story: https://www.romper.com/p/will-the-olsen-twins-ever-be-on-fuller-house-they-havent-been-forgotten-15535542 Meantime, Christina Ricci is still making movies. Not going anywhere judging by this recent Mail "story": https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6464229/Christina-Ricci-looks-business-chic-suit-Hollywood-power-lunch.html

Caroll Spinney is 85 today!

At the risk of tempting fate, nothing on this pool since the end of November! Surely December won't be a white-out?

Here's my crap attempt: Man On Mars - Kaiser Chiefs Illuminate - Orbital Working: T-Rex Producer Tony Visconti Also Produced Kaiser Chiefs - Man On Mars Claimed lyrics by David Bowie Who wrote about Major Tom in Orbit David Gray appeared on Orbital's Illuminate

Philadelphia? Say cheese! Absolutely correct - Denzel Washington's response to the long list of the judge's things to which justice is blind... Your go.

Nope, much more recent than that with an Academy Award controversially not awarded to the speaker of this line. Edit: Having checked, not even nominated.

Team sent, @Book. I look forward to seeing how my powers of tele-patheticism do this year!

Ok, one of my favourite movies of all time. "With all due respect Your Honor, we don't live in this Courtroom."

Like my Christmas - Home Alone 2 - Lost In New York. Edit: Except the lost bit, and the New York bit!

Team sent by PM to DI. Many thanks for picking this up for next year.

Rumours have started up that Honey Lantree of The Honeycombs has died. Hmmm...

There's the UK band The Eagles and all, but mostly instrumental stuff. Associated with Ron Grainer, which would tie in, but I'm damned if I can find anything Dr Who/Christmas related by them.
