This is rather annoying - I've lost two names from my Time 100 category (Pope Benny and Barbara Walters) so although my sub comes in for one of them, I need to find another name. Unfortunately the way I worked it was to get a long masterlist and then delete them until I was down to six. And I can't remember who else I had on the masterlist, which I didn't save. Bugger.

Only one change to my team - straight replacement of Benny with Buzzi - full new list below. 1. Ruth Buzzi 2. John Cannan 3. Lucille Randon 4. Gianluca Vialli 5. Steve Gleason 6. Jonnie Irwin 7. Tim Keller 8. Frank Field 9. Peter Max 10. Joanne Woodward subs 11. Violeta Chamorro 12. Johnny Ruffo

My amended list - Ruth Buzzi replaces Pope Benedict, and Rolf Harris becomes new first sub in place of Barbara Walters. Thanks. 1. Ady Barkan 2. Alan Greenspan 3. Alice Munro 4.

Should have checked the news before hitting "Post" Can I move everyone from 3-10 up one place please, and add Joanne Woodward at #10? Revised list below if it's easier. 1. Pope Benedict XVI 2. John Cannan 3. Lucille Randon 4. Gianluca Vialli 5. Steve Gleason 6. Jonnie Irwin 7. Tim Keller 8. Frank Field 9. Peter Max 10. Joanne Woodward subs 11. Violeta Chamorro 12. Johnny Ruffo

Well I'll add Pope Benedict as my new sub, but I think I'll be replacing him before he comes off the bench.

My entry 1. Pope Benedict XVI 2. Pele 3. John Cannan 4. Lucille Randon 5. Gianluca Vialli 6. Steve Gleason 7. Jonnie Irwin 8. Tim Keller 9. Frank Field 10. Peter Max subs 11. Violeta Chamorro 12. Johnny Ruffo

Surely Kelati or Whale wouldn't give Wormfarmer the win, as you've also got them?

I will be entering a team but won't have time to sort it until after Christmas I'm afraid. Sorry.

Total of 26 for me, which isn't too bad for three hits, but puts me right out of contention I imagine. Still a couple ahead of you though

Lewis, Phillips and Weir are all hits for me in this one, so it might as well be dead from my point of view

Definitely a bit of research needed on all these categories! Pete Doherty never won a Brit, did he?

Well done @RoverAndOut, glad it wasn't one of those Cabinet members that I also had who ended up winning it for you! Still a bit miffed that nobody in the world bothered to obit Mario Ghella properly though

Thanks @Lafaucheuse, I'll bring Rolf Harris in as sub #3 please.

Robbie Coltrane played Samuel Johnson in a classic episode of Blackadder

Not a hit that I'm happy about. RIP Samuel Johnson.

He hasn't got Matlin's birth date wrong, so I'm sticking with Saint, sorry!

Think you may have the wrong year for Marlee Matlin's win (or her birth date is wrong, in which case I change my pick to her!)
