My friend and I went for a walk along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal and found our selves in Shipley so we then decided to visit the grave of Bryan Mosley as I knew he was buried there. Mosley was obviously best well known for his role as Alf Roberts on Coronation Street, who was killed off 6 years before I was born but my lack of social life has allowed me to watch him on Classic Corrie reruns and as a Doctor Who fan I'll also give an honourable mention to his role as Malpha in the brilliant Daleks' Master Plan.

I suppose but the episode does just have an older cast in general Moore was 87 at transmission and 89 at death, de Keyser was 83 at transmission and 93 at death, Cox was 76 at transmission and 87 at death. Magni who was 51 at transmission and 63 at death, is really the only one of the four to die young. And, although it may not seem that way, 13 years is quite a long time (sorry if that makes you feel old).

I'm bored so I thought I’d write up the statistics for Modern Doctor Who credited actor deaths by Series. Series 1 - 4 deaths (Meic Povey, Jennifer Hill, Basil Chung, Vilma Hollingbery) Series 2 - 11 deaths (Elisabeth Sladen, Helen Griffin, Mona Hammond, Roger Lloyd-Pack, Christopher Driscoll, Margaret John, Bella Emberg, Edna Dore, Derek Acorah, Anthony Debaeck, Barbara Windsor) Series 3 - 7 deaths (Howard Attfield, Robert Demeger, Judy Norman, Bridget Turner, Georgine Anderson, Derek Smith, Louis Mahoney) Series 4 - 9 deaths (Bernard Cribbins, Clive Swift, Geoffrey Palmer, Nigel Terry, Paul O’Grady, Elisabeth Sladen, Edmund Kente, Barry Howard, June Whitfield) Series 5 - 10 deaths (Marcello Magni, Arthur Cox, David de Keyser, Patrick Moore, Jonathan Battersby, Terrence Hardiman, Helen McCrory, Michael Percival, Audrey Ardington, Stephen Moore) Series 6 - 8 deaths (Meg Wynn Owen, Michael Gambon, William M. Sheppard, Adrian Schiller, Rashid Karapiet, Lynda Baron, Sean Buckley, Bill Turnbull) Series 7 - 6 deaths (Byrd Wilkins, Peter Cartwright, James Greene, David Warner, Diana Rigg, John Hurt) Series 8 - 3 deaths (John Sessions, Harry Dickman, Joan Blackman) Series 9 - 1 death (Neil Fingleton) Series 10 - 1 death (Ysanne Churchman) Series 11 - 2 deaths (Ian Gelder, David Dukas) Series 12 - 3 deaths (Thapelo Maropefela, Ian Gelder, Willie Jonah) Series 13 - 1 death (William Russell) Series 14 currently has no deaths but does have actors in their 90s (Gabriel Woolf, Sian Phillips, June Hudson) but only half of the actors above are actually ‘old’ with the youngest being 25. There are also 16 Torchwood actors who have died, 10 Sarah Jane Adventures actors and currently 0 from Class. Episode wise there’s a number of episodes with 2 or 3 deaths coincidentally the episodes with 4 deaths are back to back being The End of Time (Cribbins, Whitfield, Sladen, Howard) and The Eleventh Hour (Magni, Cox, de Keyser, Moore) and both episodes have 2 living cast members who are getting on in years (Claire Bloom, Alister Bain & Annette Crosbie, William Wilde).

Yeah, I'm watching ITV News as we speak and he's on about how this new treatment has given him a new lease on life and is likely to live a lot longer than he initially expected.

First Hit of the Game is a Unique and Alliterative hit for @time with Robbie Robertson.

Doreen Mantle is a hit for @Toast.

Celebrating that fact that I have now earned all 8 reactions on this site at least once, the last one I needed was Confused which @mymango has so graciously just betrothed upon me in the Jimmy Carter Thread, they're also the only ever user to give me the Angry reaction and 2 of my 3 Facepalms.

As per it just sounds as if he could slip away in his sleep tomorrow or in six months time.

For the DDP Stats Zone page, according to my calculations Don January who died in May was the milestone 4000th ever DDP hit.

My team is made up of ten somewhat educated picks, 5 picks that I was told to include by a mate and then 5 random punts.

No they put the word they were using at the top of their submission. Dumfounder is in the OED, so I'll just message BB and ask for them to change the last letter, however because I've already posted teams now if it is a unique pick, I won't count it as one.

That's my mistake, I just put down the wrong spelling (there's apparently two!?!?) on the team list. I'll make the excuse that I received that entree in the last minute of the game and didn't have time to check it.

List of teams is up, if you can see any problems with your team do say. Please reply to this thread if one of your picks does die, mainly if it's an obscure one.

Just under an hour to go until closing. I'm about to head off for a 6 hour hike in the rain, so I'll post teams on the frontpage tonight. Players who I've got teams for are listed below, if you think that you should be on the list and aren't respond in this thread.

Selma Schumer the mother of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, is still alive aged 94/95. I wouldn't mention her if it wasn't for the fact that when her husband and Chuck's father died in 2021 he received an obituary from the Independent.

There's this one... I think Euphoria is an HBO show.

Based on feedback I'll allow duplicate words for this round, but if there is a second round I'll amend the rules.

Hello folks, I've currently got 15 entries and one word shared between two teams, so I thought I'd put it to the participants on whether I should allow the same word for multiple teams, disqualify the word all together or ask the more recent of the two entrees to change their word.

Peter Baldwin best known for playing Derek Wilton (the best character) on Coronation Street from 1976 to 1997 would've been 90 today.

If they're commonly known by a nickname or anything other than they're birth name, it's perfectly acceptable to use that. For the example you gave his Wikipedia article is titled Johnny Johnson not George Johnson so I'd accept the nickname as his name. If you have any doubts about specific people you'd want to use that you're unsure on, just PM me the name and I'll take a look. As long as your'e not taking the mick, I'll probably allow it.

There's no point in me sending my team in via private message due to over half of my picks being punts as I know nothing about football but may as well enter this pool because you never know... Anyway here's my list of 20 people I've never heard of before.

I was 16 when I joined and have been referred to as a foetus on prior occasions, but I'll happily hand over the title.

I don't care about irritating posting I'm more bothered that this person seems to think that Jerry Lewis is still alive, unless they mean the Arizona politician born in 1956 which would mean that this is the wrong thread to mention them
