    Dead Poets Society

    Interview with DDP pick Jock Scot here. Nothing of particular interest: he's still refusing chemo and describes his condition as "stable". Should apparently have been dead by October last year according to doctors.

    The Deathlist Howto

    Control and F13 together.

    Jeremy Corbyn

    He's teetotal and a vegetarian, but doing 75 hustings in less than a month cannot be good on the heart of a 66-year-old who has no experience of politics at the big boys' table before. Especially if Chuka Umunna and Dan Jarvis start hiding behind potted plants and shouting "BOO" at him when he walks by.

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    That's the one Morgan Freeman definitely didn't didn't didn't have an incestual relationship with.

    Wrestlers/actors

    He was in the second WWF sticker in the UK, which means an entire generation of boys have vague memories of swapping two of his doubles for an El Matador shiny.
  6. Never forget that Anna Karen was a burlesque dancer back in the 60s before donning the glasses and grease to play Olive:

    Journalists

    Elizabeth Scalia, American catholic journalist with a few Guardian bylines to her name and kind of a stateside version of my DDP pick Catherine Wybourne, is in a pretty bad state of affairs right now. Would make it 50/50 that she gets a valid obit though.

    Hmm, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's... maybe he actually has Dementia with Lewy bodies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dementia_with_Lewy_bodies Here's hoping for a Casey Kasem-style comedy ending for him.

    Blues Brothers 2000

    "Cab Calloway died after Kurt Cobain" is one of my favourite bits of music trivia.

    The New Dunn...

    Bill Maynard

    You're right. Although our Bill was already up to no good in Aidensfield by that point, meaning he couldn't steal the film in the role of Pope Innocent VIII.

    Bill Maynard

    I was surprised Kwouk never turned up in a nice racially progressive, fully-rounded role in a Carry On film. Perhaps called something like Wan King or Slin Tee Eyes.

    Bill Maynard

    I found from following the current health status of one of my DDP picks, (Ladies and Gentlemen Mr) Burt Kwouk, that he and Maynard apparently keep up regular phone contact with each other. Strange friendship, were they ever in the same show together?

    Danish striker Harald Nielsen, Serie A top scorer in 1964 and 1965, dead at 73. He was also briefly the world's most expensive footballer, moving between Bologna and Inter Milan for £300k in 1967.

    Oh website 100%, Rockefeller, DeJong, Corey and Lloyd was also walk into a BBC website mention.

    And now she's cancelling appearances due to "exhaustion".

    "Inside Out" is basically just The Numbskulls from the Dandy, right?

    The 100 Club

    Hollingworth is the only one I'd be 90% sure would get her death mentioned on a BBC news broadcast. Slocombe and Wouk might sneak in on a quiet day.

    Sir John Hurt

    Probably Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

    Not Seen Any Good Films/movies

    Tell you what, caught "The One I Love" on Netflix and it's the closest I think anyone's come to capturing the spirit of a prime episode of The Twilight Zone in 50 years.

    https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/jimmygreaves Jimmy Greaves reduced to begging on JustGiving to get the £30k he needs for physiotherapy. Presumably that means his health condition is so bad he can't just knock out a new "Saint and Greavesie" DVD.

    Tryna out-sperge YoungWillz here.
