Shaun, who is #41? You don't have them up yet.

That's a great list Shaun! I was trying to remember a particular female author and now you've spared me having to rack my brain -It was Diana Athill. I see I havent been able to persuade you of the merits of 96 year old aristocrat The Dowager Duchess of Grafton..... She did cross my mind but I ran out of spaces. Actually you didn't... Number 41 is still open.

I think someone decided to be funny and voted for all of them cause he'd be correct no matter what.

Some of these aren't famous enough for deathlist (Christie, Pomsel), and drug addicts are tricky: I wouldn't include them. Nevertheless, there are some great picks in there.

Happy Black Friday everyone...

I want to bring a discussion I slightly brought up in the who should be on the 2017 deathlist thread here. He's probably not going to die anytime soon, but in the event he does pass without expecting it, and he isn't on deathlist, would he be too big of a name to miss. He is the creator of some of the most iconic super heroes of all time you know.

Florence Henderson for next week I'm guessing

Donald Trump should be on next years deathlist

I'm looking at my people who should be removed list, and I'm not regretting any names there... except surprisingly Stan Lee. I'm not saying that in a way that says he's frail or has an illness. I keep thinking him over and over because he is the creator of some of the most iconic superheroes of all time. I know certain political figures would be too big too miss (and people like the surviving beatles once they're old enough), but would Stan Lee class as a person too big to miss? He is still very popular to this day.

One to add, due to the fact he's on deathlist, Mr Gordon Banks.

As for early departures, I don't think Jack Nicholson has that long in him to be honest

Tie between Ridley Scott and Anthony Hopkins.

This is a good top ten, however, I don't feel like the top 5 will all be terminally ill. I feel like Zsa Zsa is the new Ronnie Biggs, which is why I think she'll be #1.

Good job presenting her... except that this is actually going to be the 31st anniversary of deathlist, not the 30th.

Saw him at the Macy's thanksgiving day parade today. He looks fine at 90.

Added another miss for you.

Not true, unless you are distinguishing between actors and actresses, which seems to be no longer the done thing. Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar in 1940 for 'Gone With The Wind', over 20 years before Poitier. I was distinguishing between actors and actresses -I was aware of Hattie. That's amazing - you sounded just like joeyruss then. I was going to say, but thought I'd missed something. Which isn't unheard of.

Errol Christie doesn't really feel deathlisty. Will he get a QO in the DDP? Absolutely. He'll get the daily mail and ITV easily. But I'd be stunned if he gets a BBC obit or something like that.

Yep...in 2015.

You forgot Castro, another one of those picks who the only way out is dying picks.

Not true, unless you are distinguishing between actors and actresses, which seems to be no longer the done thing. Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar in 1940 for 'Gone With The Wind', over 20 years before Poitier. Yes. I knew Hattie McDaniel won one for her performance in gone with the wind. Yes, I was distinguishing actor and actresses.

Now here's one not to include: Tony Bennet. He's performing at the Macy's thanksgiving day parade, so he definitely has at least a few more years on him.

I know Zorders posted a few names a few years ago, but none of the members were actually active apart from Gooseberry Crumble.

Anyone knows who's part of the committee. Apart from the Grim Reaper of course.

Happy Thanksgiving Americans (I don't think Britts celebrate thanksgiving, do they?)
