Surprisingly little movement on the leaderboard after Norden's demise. Only theoldlady and Death Impends had him as a main pick. No Bonuses. For those who had him as a sub: YoungWillz (me) is grateful to msc for picking a random card for him for this sub and draws 3 Hearts = 3 Points. Torva Messor draws 4 of Diamonds = 4 Points. Leaderboard updated.

Also had Denis Norden here. YW - 12; DL -9. I've now equalled my hit rate for last year...3 and a half months to go...

Fifteenth hit here with Denis Norden. Fifteenth consecutive BBC Obit. Five hits a year. Hmmm.

Denis Norden is my fourth hit here, taking out my second placed name....

Denis Norden hit #10 for me here....

Stirling Moss. In the hope he survives and Benedict does not.

His early comedy writing with Frank Muir was a joy to hear. Very little touches that standard today. Very little. A long time coming, but very sad when it happens. RIP.

Albert Dryden becomes the fourth hit on my poorly performing Shadowlist. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/16884481.albert-dryden-who-shot-dead-planning-officer-near-consett-dies-in-care-home/ Ha, making up for it elsewhere, so...meh.

Maartin Allcock dead on the wires....
