TMIB, my theme team of Ronnies doesn't appear to be listed in the theme team league. It didn't include Biggs (I was saving him for next year's joker) but does include Coase, which by my reckoning gives me 97th place all to myself! Cheers.

Lord Dickie. For no particular reason (as always - and I expect to be wrong again).

There are episodes in the next series that are known to involve him so he'll be brought back to life somehow He's back!

My third main-team hit of the year, and I hadn't even realised until now!

PD James, but she'd better be PDQ.

He will.

Mirror spoprts photographer Monte Fresco has died aged 77. He took this rather famous photo...

I voted none of the above. Maybe I'll be wrong (again)

Actress Mary Riggans has taken the high road. Our younger viewers may know her as Susie Sweet from Balamory.

He's not a newspaper, he's a former newspaper editor..

I have never heard of this bloke but if he couldn't even get a gig on the Bill, he must have been a terrible actor! He wasn't that bad. His last screen role was in The Bill, in 2002. He did earlier try out for the role of James Bond, as noted in the BBC report of his death (I believe there's a link somewhere).

Robin Leigh Pemberton, Former governor of the Bank of England, dead at 86.

Spoilsport. I suppose it would be entertaining . But i think brucie is one of the good guys ( saying that and he gets arrested by yewtree detectives next week) and I can think of a few above bruce that deserve it more. Then again with bruce refusing to retire maybe its probably how he would like to die. Bruce Forsyth is one of those people who splits the opinions of the nation but I must admit that he is the King of Light Entertainment, you may not like the product but he is one of the best proponents of the form. Ask yourself the question who would you rather watch Bruce, Jim Davidson, Michael Barrymore, Jonathon Ross or Lionel Blair. I rest my case. Lionel Blair, every time!

According to this she predicted she'd live tiill she was 88. Obviously not a charlatan though.

Tie Rack to close 44 remaining UK stores.

Worse than Jim Davidson?

One to cross off next years list, Geoff Knights former partner of Gillian Taylforth, dies at 58.

Andy Kaufman still alive! Claim by his brother, so maybe not a conspiracy as such, but still
