Was hoping we'd continue adding new spelling errors with each additional version of this poll. Think it's time for an oldie rather than a sickie, went with Stanley Baxter.

If he's already doing the "aggressive, prayers please" we could be looking at a John Challis-style "I'm actually about to drop dead but will announce it as a diagnosis" deal.

O'Hara's directorial debut was the 1963 cautionary tale That Kind of Girl, about the dangers of contracting venereal disease. Adding that to my Trakt "to watch" list.

According to TVRDB (again, some holes), Maude was definitely broadcast on STV in the early weeks of 1980 at around 11pm.

"Hospitalised in Florida with abdominal issues". Can't think of any reason why he'd need to fake a hospitalisation at this moment, so I can only assume he has mere hours to live.

A non-Yahoo QO comes via The Sun and, yep, they led on his eight games, two goals for Barca rather than being the top goalscorer in Brazilian club history.

QO for Dinamite.

These seems very Football Cliches, is there a height limit on being a "great little player"?

I'm about 80% on him QO-ing: ridiculously, I think the fact he had a brief, unproductive spell at Barcelona is what will interest English-language sources more than his outstanding goal-scoring record in Brazil. Will make up for completely missing Bill Campbell during my research...

Definitely removes any suspicions that he was attention-whoring with his "I have less than a year to live" chat. Looks like he wants to die with his boots on as well, imagine the gap between him doing his last show and him carking it will be very short.

Mark Stokes "liked" a tweet within the past 24 hours, if you were worried he'd already left this mortal coil. Either that or the hospice nurses are divvying up his belongings.

Yeah, my main reason for not picking her was, from what I understand, there's some constitutional crisis that could emerge if she died, so it's in the royal family's best interest to keep her as a vegetable for as long as possible.

Leon Brittain (not @Leon Brittan) for Swansea in 2017.

As said before, the Committee are very, very confused by anyone who became famous after the fall of Communism. Their idea of a young, upcoming celebrity is Dustin Gee. Possibly time for one of the Committee to bring their son/grandson/great-grandson to the planning session.

Well, that just goes to show you the kind of lawless, irresponsible dangerous people that operate in the world of (checks what he won his Grammy for).... polka music.

She apparently did a fan convention in November, and her website is still advertising this for later in 2023: a Carry On locations tour described as "possibly last opportunity to do a tour of filming locations with an original cast member from the classic series." Surely one of you can cough up the £75 to go and do some recon?

Bit of behind-the-scenes trivia: in my previous life as a music writer, Mr London threatened to kill me in a diss track.

There's also one of her from July 2020, seems to have some involvement in local politics? Was apparently active in Prisoner fan conventions up until a few years ago, so presumably is on the radars of that fan community to the extent I'd imagine there'd be some discussion out there if she had carked it.

Gangsta Boo has been picked more years than not in recent editions, may well have been a '23 pick as well.

My team was put together in around 30 minutes, the Corrie research entailed going to IMDB, looking at the show's entire cast history and picking anyone who was a) still alive but b) had a headshot that looked like it was taken in the 1970s. Brit Awards uniques were based around: a) you don't ever really hear much from Dire Straits' drummer these days; b) Prince's drummer had a heart attack a few years ago c) DJ Minutemix is a nonce.

My partner's an English teacher, and apparently her classes prefer the 60s version... she thought it might be because the Baz L version is unnervingly 90s in its style, but maybe they just like tits.

The man behind one of the all-time great tweets:

It is funny though how English literature lessons have for decades featured the teacher dragging out a VHS/DVD/streaming copy of a movie that literally features a naked child.

EDP445, an actual paedophile, now saying he has less than a month to live.
