I'll announce Pan Breed in the morning, but for now, here's the return of the Dr Who theme team to the excitement of all. OK, maybe just Willz and Biblio. The Gallifrey Regeneration Game Richard Franklin JOKER Barbara Clegg Michael Craig John Woodvine David Garfield Cy Town June Bland John Gorrie Edward de Souza Gabriel Woolf Kenton Moore Jane Sherwin Mary Peach Ann Davies Vernon Dobtcheff Tristan de Vere Cole Derren Nesbitt Janet Henfrey Jon Laurimore William Gaunt

Just shows Ulitzer is clearly the Gold Standard for Cmme tips now.

You need to read more, mate. Not Kundera's book though as its fucking dull. Unbearable Lightness of Being. He's also got shitloads of heart issues, iirc.

We knew it was coming.

1. Ali Khamenei 2. Bob Newhart 3. Barbara Walters 4. Pope Benedict XVI 5. Imelda Marcos 6. Yoko Ono 7. Linda Nolan 8. Joanne Woodward 9. Willie Nelson 10. Betty Boothroyd 11. Raul Castro 12. Bernard Cribbins 13. Vanessa Redgrave 14. Shannen Doherty The Drops. Some of them quite brave.

Well, it'll take a while to digest!

OK< the big reveal will be in an hours time - to let everyone enjoy the Main List first, but as a teaser, here's the usual pre-show. CROWDSOURCED LIST 2022 Drops – Bob Newhart, Willie Nelson DQs – Prunella Scales, June Spencer, Eva Marie Saint, Noam Chomsky, Imelda Marcos Near Misses – Marsha Hunt, Nigel Lawson, Sandra Day O’Connor, Luis Echeverria, David Attenborough, Marianne Faithful, Joan Plowright, Cleo Laine, Nehemiah Persoff, Doddie Weir, Buzz Aldrin, Alberto Fujimori, Gudrun Ure, Frankie Valli Marsha Hunt lost a tiebreak coin toss with the wean helping out. She lost it to a DDP favourite, after they were level on points and teams. It's the closest TCD result in history!

Given its recent doom-laden status, I'm a bit worried now I've seen my name in 50th place...

5 DQs needed, and a coin toss to determine 50th place after two names were level on points and number of teams.

We are SHUT for entries. Will I have all the Betty White subs done by midnight? Urgh. 750 and them...

750 points to sub, 19 pages in all, in TCD. I blame you!

Betty White is DEAD< Gooseberry.

I've lost my PM due to avalanche of TCD picks so can you sub in Akihito at 10th place. Thanks. Also urgh.

It's uncanny

750 points on TCD2022 too. Eeek. Also, RIP to a TV legend of course.

A quick list based on the lists in the OP - Good luck! 1. Frank Field 2. Khaleda Zia 3. Dick Taverne 4. Sir Jamie McGrigor (Scottish parliamentarian 1999-2016) 5. Jimmy Carter 6. Mwai Kibaki 7. Norman Tebbit 8. Gorbachev 9. Giorgio Napolitano 10. Edouard Balladur subs 11. Nigel Lawson 12. David Winnick 13. Douglas Hurd

1. James Lovelock 2. Nehemiah Persoff 3. Boris Pahor 4. Muazzes Cig 5. Anne Baker 6. Ma Shitu 7. Marsha Hunt 8. Rene de Obaldia 9. June Spencer 10. Josip Manolic 11. Benjamin Ferencz 12. Sir Patrick Duffy 13. Gail Halvorsen 14. Arnold Yarrow 15. Al Jaffee sub Iris Apfel Bill Butler hopefully all ok.

2022 will see 50 years since Columbo took down murderer Viveca Scott played by Vera Miles. She'll be 93 in 2022 if still alive then so a good shout for deadpools. Wait, what, were you expecting a different joke?

Yes, "never 11 without the 12th". The biggest victim of this years weak DL tbh.

Shh, don't mention my joker publicly!

Despite being ghastly unwell, all 3 of my teams are in. Also due to being heavily medicined up at the time, I have committed the cardinal sin of DDP - and ripped up half the team before sending it in.

My team of obvious and mediocre picks is in. Thanks to Reptile for running this one again.

33 lists in now, 48 hours left. The record number of lists ever is 38 btw...

It's a trap!

I did actually set up an Elevator Pitch for why one of my picks I thought was on the borderline was good only to get the equivalent of a "well duh of course they're OK"!
