I somehow completely forgot Alagiah.

I think Banana's suggestion of 50% is a sensible compromise in keeping with the theme. Will still take a few years I imagine but not ridiculously so.

I have done exactly the same, for the same reason. After reading this post, as well. Doh.

Pretty pleased with my debut on this so far. Can it get any better? Linda Nolan, Betty White, Prunella Scales, Jimmy Carter or Vera Lynn would do it

Boom! and my joker is gone! At least it's not going to be a completely barren year! Thanks John McCririck!

Halfway through the year and a mere 20 of my team remain alive. Safe to say I'm not the best at this

All the best people have 15 points.

Mugabe for me.

Pity Sir Jim wasn't up to attending the legends game at the new Spurs stadium yesterday. If someone like Sebastian Bassong can be included as a Legend for Spurs, they need a few more levels above that for Greavsie!

Oh well, you live and learn. Or not, in her case.

I'm just lulling you into an accurate sense of security...

I'd still put you as favourite, unless another five of yours go in the next week

Cheers, I wholly expect to be out by the end of February anyway but I'll prepare a March list in case then

So if each round is in consecutive months, we need to put in our team for each match before the previous one has finished, which means we wouldn't know whether we're in the next round or not? Is that right? Just to clarify... thanks!

Thanks for organising this one. My team is : Paul Gascoigne Queen Elizabeth II Donald Trump Michael Robinson Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI Billy Connolly Dick Van Dyke John Andretti Jill Gascoine Stirling Moss Terry Jones George Alagiah Prince Philip Olivia Newton-John Nobby Stiles Doris Day Henry Kissinger Linda Nolan Kirk Douglas Bob Barker Bob Hawke Clive James Vera Lynn Leslie Phillips Robert Mugabe sub Betty White
