I think there is a realistic chance that he can survive this year. His cancer hasn't spread already, right? And it's just prostate cancer.

I agree with you, that picks like Stanley Baxter or June Brown can be replaced, but picks like Leah Bracknell should stay, even if she isn't very famous outside the UK/England. She is much to ill to be dropped and would be a to big miss.

Do you believe anything the medias are telling you?

He is in better health than my grandfather was at 77, so no: I think he should be dropped.

But Carter had cancer and pancreatic cancer is very common in his family. But okay, Donald Trump loves fast food, that's much more serious than cancer and being over 90 years old.

I am still here!

One more: Herman Wouk

I replaced Ricksen on 30 November, that was before the game started.

I replace Fernando Ricksen with Andrew McGahan.

December team: 1. Johnny Clegg 2. Bill Turnbull 3. George Alagiah 4. Sheila Mercier 5. Fernando Ricksen

Names that should be definitely on the Deathlist 2019: Johnny Clegg George Alagiah Bill Turnbull Jean-Louis Trintignant Fernando Ricksen Nobby Stiles Sheila Mercier Tim Conway Violeta Chamorro Norman Llyod Doddie Weir Last year we had more good names.
