I went for Sandy Gall, on the basis that if history is to be made, it wont be made with an icon of Deathlist, or someone expected to go. It'll be an entirely random death of someone apparently half the forum don't know...

*goes online* *checks Deathlist recent posts* *Sees 15th Death of Year poll* *Takes second* Wait a minute? So the old record is relying on Leah Bracknell's shamanic healing! Not quite - 4 in 2 days in 2002, I think? There was also 4 in a week in 1997 and 2003 at least.

For all the Spade v Bert (with DI) talk, looking at that table, the 10 points for Clive James might be interesting yet...

Is it just me, or does Lance Price (journo and Blair's former advisor) look like he's aging badly. Just turned 59.

Man, that'd be like someone correcting YW on a bit of Doctor Who trivia, or LB on Grohl, or Davey Jones on Yewtree...

He was in Corrie in the 80s...

That's the one, thanks!

Apparently he's not posted on here since July? Have the Australian Catholics been that quiet? I expect to make my next post in this thread around February 2022 on previous form.

Ah good I thought I was out of touch - I mean, I usually am, but I always considered the show anti-racist (because Alf is often shown to be wrong) like that Rossiter/de la Tour show I've forgotten the name of right now. Mitchell was an athiest Jew and lifelong liberal, so used to be horrified at the BNP style fan mail he'd get for the show.

Strange as when someone on here mentioned a GoodFellas actor dying a week or two ago, I don't watch the Sopranos so went to check if it were Morrie, who looked like the type to keel over back then. Only slightly premature then!

Notes Doris Day for before 2022 then. She survived a car getting hit by a train in the 1930s!

Ah, cool... Wait a minute... Damn you, Reaper Sean, what did Robert Hardy do to you?

Mrs Booth gives a good tip in that article: Ernst Walder, noted thesp and one time Corrie actor, born 1927 and still with us.

Ah but if Pan Breed sweeps their entire board (everyone dies, obits for the 4 dead non-obit folk show up) then it's 220 points. Be afraid, everyone...

That wasn't analysis, it was @Sean time traveling.

Even if the Reaper sent it by snail mail, he ought to know by now.

One wrong turn looking up family history years back led me to a great death certificate from the 1920s, which stated the cause of death for one poor chap as "everything".

Oh, I didn't even twig for 3 days.

There were all in the same file... and suddenly Healey's first law of holes comes to mind.

In order (a revival from 2015, this one...) 1. 2015 (14/50), 2008 (14/50), 2003 (14/50) 2. 2017 (13/50), 2013 (13/50), 2006 (13/50) 3. 2016 (12/50), 2012 (12/50), 2009 (12/50), 2005 (12/50), 2004 (12/50) 4. 2014 (10/50), 2007 (10/50), 2002 (10/50), 2001 (10/50), 2000 (10/50), 1999 (10/50) 5. 2010 (9/50), 1997 (9/50), 1995 (9/50), 1994 (9/50) 6. 1998 (8/50), 7. 2011 (7/50), 1996 (7/50) 8. 1993 (5/56), 1992 (5/37) 9. 1990 (3/42), 1989 (3/32) 10. 1987 (1/31) 11. 1991 (0/40) Right, any other stats aren't in that one Word Doc I put together in 2015 when people thought the record was going then!

Well, here's a mad stat about the vagaries of life and all that: From 2011 to 2016, there were 2 Deathlist hits in the month of September - Herbert Lom (2012) and Ian Paisley (2014). From 20th September 2017 to 26th September 2017, there were three! For those who must know such things: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 all provided October hits consecutively. 2014, 2015, 2016 for November hits, ditto. Whereas since 2003, only 2007 and 2015 have gone without a single December hit.

We're on 276 now, btw.

100th - Hardy Amies, 5th March 2003 150th - Gerald Ford, 27th December 2006 200th - Betty Ford, 9th July 2011 250th - Al Molinaro, 30th October 2015

Oh wait, the King...

Just realised Tony B is my B-team joker, which means Here's Who you could have won will be about a dozen points ahead of Pan Breed! Sods law that is!
