Well done TomTom, that's impressive. I won the unofficial, unannounced and irrelevant "predict the top 3" game, but it all went a bit pear-shaped after that

Well played drol. Happy with third place for my debut in this one, lets see if I can do better this year.

Looks like drol's going to win this one... unless 2019 has a late twist in the tail?

My list : 1) Alex Trebek (J) 2) Anne Buydens 3) Beverly Cleary 4) Bob Barker 5) Earl Cameron 6) Eileen Ash 7) Gianluca Vialli 8) Javier Perez de Cuellar 9) Jean-Louis Trintignant 10) John Hume 11) Kane Tanaka 12) Katherine Jackson 13) Kirk Douglas 14) Larry King 15) Leslie Phillips 16) Nobby Stiles 17) Noel Conway 18) Roberta McCain 19) Ruthie Tompson 20) Terry Jones subs Frank Williams, Prince Philip, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

I've picked up four points with him, still in the top 3 though. Unfortunately (for me) drol didn't have Clive.

I go Bill... just gut feeling.

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

Sounds like a fun variation. I'm in.

If we get drawn against each other then lump on the 0-0 draw

Some people are just so damned thoughtless.

Can I join please? That way someone who would otherwise have had a bye will have the fun of an easy victory instead
