Looks like Kemp outlasted a good number though....

Oh. Trips off to look up the cast of First Blood......

Happy 64th birthday!

Give us a shout if she gets an online obit.

Remnant of the unfortunately named and conversely appropriately (for the 21st century) named Doggerland? Or someone's misplaced the IOW....

Remember him from the Jarman films. Big name in British dance, why aren't there huge numbers of UK obits?

Shurely that was Connery's English accent? Very similar to hish American accent, hish Middle Eastern accent, etc etc.....

New track listing above. Turns out to be a bit of a mix tape! Prophet wrests the lead away from Death Impends at last, thanks to a chunky Wildcard. John Key also sees a rise in his position for carding Stefansson. Torva Messor the only one to have two hits sees an appreciable gain on the leaders. Captain Chorizo falls off the pace, with others having Stefansson essentially maintaining their position. Mid-placings shuffle around somewhat. Down at the bottom, Deathray sees a jump into a tie with Sean. Literally anyone can still win this. The excitement continues into September.....

Two teams, one Wildcard, and Dieter Thomas Heck scores just before the new leaderboard. Toi-toi-toi!

Dieter Thomas Heck, German allround presenter, singer etc, deid: https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/dieter-thomas-heck-ist-tot-a-1224889.html&prev=search

I don't think it would be fair to have another bite of the cherry when there are extant guesses from the previous round out there. Plus I got the Jowell one, so that's more than plenty for one year for me!

Ah, the prized "Highly Cited" accolade.....

Well, howdy doody: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6095313/Robin-Leach-popular-Eighties-TVs-Lifestyles-Rich-Famous-dies-age-76.html

Urgh, I now have an image of Ross King in my head. I don't know why!!!!!!!

Well, whoever this UK non-entity is, dollar to a cent he gets more obits than Ian Toothill and David Fisher*. (*Saving Biblio's fingers).

No idea who Robin Leach DDP pick is, but looks like he dead: He dead: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robin-leach-dead-lifestyles-rich-famous-host-dies-1137244

Wormfarmer picked DDP pick Robin Leach for this game. Looks like he dead:

Apologies from Loose Women as they claim Bacharach dead: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7092319/penny-lancaster-burt-bacharach-dead-loose-women/

Ed King, guitarist for Skynyrd and co-writer of Sweet Home Alabama, dead aged 68: https://eu.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2018/08/23/former-lynyrd-skynyrd-guitarist-ed-king-dead-68/1072400002/ Formerly founding member of Strawberry Alarm Clock. Edit: As he played on the original Free Bird which was re-issued and charted in 1982, another miss for my TOTP theme team. Come on, Gary!

Guy Vine, father of Jeremy and Tim Vine has died:

Former trainer Mick O'Toole has died aged 87. https://www.theirishfield.ie/former-trainer-mick-otoole-passes-away-397546/ Won the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1977 with Davy Lad.

Rosemary Powell hardly had a legion of fans on this game. Gooseberry Crumble joins the scorers, with only two teams left holding their cards close to their chest. No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

I watched former Bad For Your Health Secretary, now Second In A Row Fuck Up Foreign Secretary Jezza K's Washington speech. Couldn't bring himself to even mention Boris' name as his predecessor, name-checked the "sainted" Margaret Thatcher three times and kissed Trump's fat Nazi ass. And answering questions from the press, he made David Cameron and Tezza May look positively like amenable human beings instead of the pre-programmed robots they obviously were. I'm sure Henry K now wants to die...
