Doesn't that only apply if as many stay on as possible? If there are lots of 'oven ready' people to go on who are considered better bets than what we have already then we could still wave goodbye to at least 8, in which case there is still a possibility that one of your choices goes and you need a sub to make it up to 8. I agree it seems unlikely but still possible.

Surely just perm 8 from 10 or 11 here, lots of similar if not identical answers..anyway 1. Edrich 2. Piggott 3. Nelson 4. McGowan 5. Akihito 6. Musharraf 7. Spinks 8. Crosby sub Cheney

Been watching Marco Polo on Netflix, several years after everyone else, having bailed out of Reign due to bad acting and the plot lines bearing no resemblance to reality. For all know it's probably a complete travesty of the real life events as well but unlike the tudor period I know nothing about Mongolian history so taking it at face value. The acting is fairly good, although was sad to lose the chief baddie upon his death at the end of series 1. At the risk of sounding like a bigoted white westerner the biggest problem initially was telling a number of similar looking young female characters apart, although one or two were helpfully killed off as series 1 progressed, which has made life easier. Other than that, looking forward to the resumption of The Crown whilst trying to avoid Strictly and its assorted spin off programmes where possible, which are unfortunately on our telly every day of the week at the moment. Soon to be followed by the equally reprehensible if less camp 'Jungle' programme...

Thanks Rover. Fwiw due to Paul Cook quitting before start line I have Roy Hodgson instead (which explains Palace's surprisingly good start to the season).

Been circling the drain for a few weeks now but sadly think that will be my lot for a while, most of my team seem to be doing rather better than I expected (in line with my most of my deadpooling predictions).

Des O'Connor points for me please. Looks like he was unique and surname begins with an 'O'...

Des O'Connor points for me please

Des O'Connor is a hit for my Pop Go the Wurzels team....

Apologies, great minds think alike. Do I assume you'd have had Smith and Connolly over Jones and Courtenay? Slightly regretting Connolly in all honesty, but them's the breaks. Smith, Courtenay and Cynthia Morey (95) fwiw....

I was going for Quartet (albeit with 2 out of 3 different people) but I see Rover beat me to it. Therefore, I select something that was popular viewing in the Burrow in the 70s.. Debbie does Dallas (1978) Herschel Savage Robin Byrd Eric Edwards

Dole

Gorbachev - 89, was on last year's DL and probably on next year's. Is he really a 'punt'?
