I still haven't got my invitation yet. Have a look in your junk mail. Your email was in the same batch as mine and I received it. I've re-sent yesterday's email to the same batch so keep your eyes peeled... Okay, i've entered my team, but i still haven't got the full confirmation yet. You might have a bit of a problem. I sent an email confirming I had recieved your entry on 19th December and another confirming your team the next day... (Don't worry, yer in!)

Perceptive, gap-toothed political journalist and commentator, Anthony Howard has died aged 76... Shame, I liked him...

Much better! Usual royalty payment on the way Bugger...too late!

This week has got worse and worse.... He was the best, the very very best.

Do you mean this one? Thanks OoO and guest, I've refrained from amalgamating as I was sure there was another thread addressing this subject but couldn't find it, if TMIB has no objections I will merge them tomorrow, but if TMIB would like to keep his thread, let me know. As I have had no feedback/objections, I have merged the threads. There are probably a few other threads for forgotten sitcom actors that could be merged into this one too (let me know if you come across one and I will do the necessary). If Godot, who started this homage to Mollie and her compatriots doesn't mind, I'd like to change the title to reflect that it is for all forgotten sitcom stars. Mollie can, of course, have a starring role in the byline. I still think the thread should be called No Place Like Tomb...

Thought I might set this thread up so we can talk about those cosy sitcom stars that are no longer with us. If Admin could do the honours and shift all that 'No Place Like Home' stuff from the Dead of 2010 to here, it would be very much appreciated

I certainly remember him in Dave Allen's shows. I'm surprised to find he was only 65, but if Dave Allen was still alive he'd only be 73. I remember him from "There's no Place like Home" too. Didn't one of the cast members of that die young while on their honeymoon. Yes, Stephen Watson in 1986. What I can remember from that series is that it had a young Martin Clunes in it...

Dead.

Michael Sharvell-Martin, whom some might remember as a supporting actor for Dave Allen and Benny Hill, died on October 28th aged 65...

Lachhiman Gurung, one of the few living holders of the VC and part of Joanna Lumley's Gurkha settlement campaign has died aged 92. A unique hit for They All End Up Smelling The Same Anyway...

Which team are you?

US envoy Richard Holbrooke is in a 'critical' condition in hospital, after tearing his aorta...

As indicated by Time, John B. Fenn has died. A hit for Nobel Losers when the right obit arrives...

I haven't. But I'm not ruling out accidentally deleting it. I'm sure I sent them all. Having said that, I've had some trouble with my ISP in the last few weeks since I moved flats. Basically, I had to switch from cable to phone line and now back again. In between there's been a clerical error and even my broadband has been cut off! I'm currently using a mate's 3 mobile WiFi to communicate. However, I sent the original invite email on 1st December on the old phone line broadband. The cable guy wont be round to install until Friday 17th December... I shall endeavor to send out the email again as an attachment to the update. DDT emailed me to say he hadn't received an email since 11th November. I moved flats on 13th November...

HAS EVERYONE RECIEVED THEIR EMAIL INVITING THEM TO SEND NOMINATIONS FOR DDP 2011? It seems that a few people are not getting them. Let me know if you haven't...

John Winston Lennon was murdered in New York City 30 years ago today...

Saw that documentary and was able to match the artist with the 'Take 5' tune. I thought 'Fancy that. Really good.' Then having left the radio on on Sunday while listening to the cricket, I heard the Sunday church service from Sheffield. The opening hymn was 'Sing All the Lord's Goodness'.... 2 min 5 sec in... Written in 1949 by Ernest Sands...

Just send in 20 names (+ up 3 subs). Make sure the joker is on the top of your list...

Indeed...a photo taken in North Korea that shows a range of foodstuffs! No, that's the entire food supply for the North!! And look who gets first dibbs!!! "I don't like it!"

Frank Zappa died today in 1993...

Baseball player Ron Santo has died aged 70. A hit for Canadian Paul should the right obit pop up...

The boss takes care of that. He must be pretty busy at the moment...

I'm the same. He also looks like the human version of a teenage mutant ninja turtle. I think he looks like a constipated Leo McKern. What's happened to the write up?
