Report here of the death of Douglas Wilmer at the age of 96: http://artintheblood.net/upon-terrace-rip-douglas-wilmer/ Best known for his work as Sherlock Holmes, but also played Fanning in Octopussy and Agrippa in Antony And Cleopatra in film and Space: 1999 and UFO on TV. Usual riders and awaiting a formal report. Do check your deadpools. Not on the DDP for some reason.

BBC Obit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35933390 but nobody picked him for the DDP.

First I've heard...March has been the slayer of celebrities. For some reason, I liked him better in The Two Ronnies, although in solo work Ronnie Barker was a giant in my opinion. This is another one that hurts. Many thanks for giving us your talent sir, so sorry the world doesn't have you in it any more. RIP.

Report here of the death of Andy "Thunderclap" Newman (73), pianist for the unsurprisingly named Thunderclap Newman: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/andy-thunderclap-newman-rip.519406/ Quotes Andy Kershaw for what that's worth.

Of note, Jill Tookey CBE, founder and artistic director of the National Youth Ballet, died from cancer aged 79 on (for her not so) Good Friday. http://nationalyouthballet.org/news/sad-news-about-jill-tookey/

That's not necessarily the same thing. Armed officers could legitimately take the life of a criminal if that person is about to take the life of someone. You cannot have Police standing by watching someone stab/shoot a person dead. The argument as to whether the Police were justified in shooting before asking questions is another point entirely. This country doesn't routinely arm our Police but we still have armed response units because we must. Mistakes have been made but its far less straighforwards than an actual trial by Jury jobbie. I am kind of with you. However, without proper oversight and the establishment's inherent belief (possibly shared by a majority of the population who have never encountered a police officer) that the officer will always be justified in their use of tasers/truncheons/guns/even physical restraint, there is a form of state sanctioned death penalty already in this country. The fact that so few officers are even taken the distance of prosecution, never mind trial, for any offence should put the shiters up anyone.

Or the state could provide guns to its officers and chase its citizens/inhabitants down and murder them without the need for a trial or evidence. (Menenzes/Anyone in America).

Bill Davis, father of Steve Davis of snooker fame, dies at 89. http://www.worldsnooker.com/bill-davis-passes-away/

Mick Fleetwood has been picked this year, by one team.

Death Notice for Jenifer Bentinck, Dowager Countess of Portland, aged 79. http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/200978/bentinck-dowager-countess-of-portland Stepmother of Timothy Bentinck, currently 12th Earl of Portland and better known as David Archer in The Archers. Her late husband was the creator of the famous Mr Kipling phrase and also the Nimble bread balloon adverts, as well as being a producer on the Today programme.

Go fuck yourself. You couldn't qualify for the Euros.

The BBC sports reporters keep insisting on describing Scotland as "the only home nation not to qualify for the Euros". That will be the team that have won their last two friendlies, unlike some other teams. While the statement is factually correct, it is a long way of describing things, and eats into the time we could be enjoying the Dutch goals.

Aha, I have no idea what that means, but good luck with that. Again, I'm being a complete pain, but Adrienne Corri died on the 13th, so there should be an extra pointage for her. Edit: actually I think you've awarded it in the scoreboard, just not on the front page. Apologies.

Blackwell is from my town, has a massive fan base here. While I truly wish the lad well, I fail to see how boxing is a 'sport'. Beating the shit out of someone to within an inch of their life, but because it's in a ring it's ok? Yeah it makes me sob to think of the way the fine young intellectual men who take part in this sport are chucking future Nobel Prizes away........ Hello again DrZ.

Yes, it definitely was. Surely we can get a cached or historical version and input it back in? Maybe Magere Hein can help. I'll start my new round up shortly, but I'd just like to purr over one of my teams having points for a second.

Not sure how reliable the source is but reportedly Jean-Pierre Coffe, French TV and radio personality and Weight Watchers frontman, has died aged 78. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purepeople.com%2Farticle%2Fjean-pierre-coffe-est-mort_a177463%2F1&edit-text= He's on the DDP, so awaiting an obit.

One of those unique DDP hits - Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/patty-duke-oscar-winning-former-child-star-dead-at-69-a6958656.html

Around half your list had a top thirty UK hit in 1981 - I'm guessing I'll have at least one or more on my DDP next year.
