Boris and his dreadful far right wing cabinet. I might be the perpetrator of his and their great demise. Long live Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party !!!

A Emmerdale hat-trick (Freddie Jones, Leah Bracknell & Sheila Mercier) help to get me in double figures, Me 10, DL 12

Top 25 certs for the 2020 list surely should be - 1) Kirk Douglas, 2) Dame Vera Lynn, 3) Terry Jones, 4) Alex Trebek, 5) Stirling Moss, 6) Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 7) Leslie Phillips, 8) Lee Kerslake, 9) Jill Gascoine, 10) Bill Turnbull, 11) Larry King, 12) Bob Barker, 13) Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, 14) Nobby Stiles, 15) Olivia De Havilland, 16) George Alagiah, 17) Glynis Johns, 18) Javier Perez de Cueller, 19) Henry Kissinger, 20) Beverly Cleary, 21) Tony Britton, 22) Betty White, 23) Loretta Lynn, 24) Little Richard and 25) Pierre Cardin

Do I post my 20 topplers and 2 subs here? I have decided to be bold and give Deathrace 2020 a go as well as just doing my Shadowlist.

Gaston Glock, Austrian engineer and founder of the Glock firearms company, 91 in July

Other potentials could include Geoffrey Palmer, Mark Eden, Leonard Fenton, Bill Treacher, Thelma Barlow, Michael Aspel, Jean Marsh, Ann Reid, Jack Smethurst, James Bolam, Shirley Bassey, Petula Clark, Tommy Steele, Ricky Tomlinson

I recently watched Ian Holm feature brilliantly as Heinrich Himmler in the 1978 tv mini-series Holocaust with Meryl Streep, James Woods, Michael Moriarty, Tony Haygarth (deceased March 2017).

My 2nd hit here after the deaths of Gay Byrne and Clive James

Hi Ulitzer95 I appreciate your comments and welcome your alternative suggestion. I think I will keep my original suggestion on this occasion as a bit of a wildcard entry as every year there is always a death that catches us all by surprise.

My couple of subs are going to be Don Everly, (brother Phil passed away back in January 2014) and Ian Holm

I am going to replace 16) Clive James with Jean Boht (Mrs Boswell in the classic sitcom Bread

Me 9, DL 12

Stirling Moss to take the final chequered flag for Deathlist in 2019 and be "unlucky 13"

Would this shadow list be acceptable to use if none of those listed die before January 1st 2020? Is it within the rules?

It says she died on 14th September 2019

Well I just for the hell of it I thought I would reveal my PROVISIONAL shadow list for 2020. I have put it here as I will put my official 2020 shadow list in that category in late December. 1) George Alagiah, 2) Alex Trebek, 3) Beverly Cleary, 4) Clarissa Eden, 5) Pearl Carr, 6) Robert Fyfe, 7) Bob Barker, 8) Henry Kissinger, 9) Bob Dole, 10) Leslie Phillips, 11) Stirling Moss, 12) Jill Gascoine, 13) Vera Lynn, 14) Sam Lloyd, 15) Sumner Redstone, 16) Clive James, 17) Nobby Stiles, 18) Little Richard, 19) Javier Perez de Cueller, 20) Peter Sutcliffe, 21) Norman Tebbit, 22) Ruth Bader Ginsberg, 23) Pierre Cardin, 24) Barbara Windsor, 25) Olivia Newton John, 26) Prunella Scales, 27) Jimmy Greaves, 28) Nicholas Parsons, 29) Gene Hackman, 30) Loretta Lynn, 31) Debra Paget, 32) Thelma Barlow, 33) Max von Sydow, 34) Willie Nelson, 35) Roberta McCain, 36) William Frankland, 37) Joanne Woodward, 38) Jean Louis Trintignant, 39) Stanley Baxter, 40) Larry King, 41) Barbara Walters, 42) Tony Britton, 43) Billy Connolly, 44) Rhonda Fleming, 45) Bill Turnbull, 46) Joan Bakewell, 47) Joss Ackland, 48) Geoffrey Palmer, 49) Honor Blackman, 50) David Prowse

Stirling Moss to wind down his engine and cross us over the line for our 12th and final success of 2019

Me 8, DL 11

Happy 88th birthday

Congrats to the multitude who predicted Ginger Baker for the 10th death, they are the cats who have got the Cream. I am still going to stick with Stirling Moss to take his final chequered flag before 2019 is done and dusted.

Sticking with Stirling Moss

RIP to a brave valiant gentleman and soccer legend. Condolences to his wife, daughter and family

Me 7, DL 8 - so sad to hear of Fernando Rickson passing away, I would rather have not have had this particular hit. RIP to a valiant, brave gentleman and soccer legend

Just another suggestion that came to mind, Mark Eden who played villain Alan Bradley in Coronation Street in the late 1980's. Will be 92 in February. Barbara Knox who plays Rita (who he tormented and attempted strangling or suffocating) gets a lot of mentions so thought I would put his name forward. Also the next man in Rita's life in Coronation Street was Ted Sullivan (played by William Russell) who still seems to be going strong and will be 95 in November

Mitzi Gaynor turned 88 on 4th September and well remembered for the musicals South Pacific and There's No Business Like Show Business
