Dead Wait

You seem to have just turned his HIV status into full blown AIDS!!

Oh yes, of course he will - NEWSFLASH: man in his 90's with agressive cancer has died!

This is brand new information, thanks!

When was Yogi Bear in the Flintstones?

On that basis, Warren Mitchell would fit the bill, he's British and has looked ancient since the sixties. Yet somehow he doesn't seem worthy. It's a difficult one as I think DL benefited in a strange sort of way from worshipping at the totem-pole of the omnipresent deity that was Clive Dunn, but, as you say, he is just irreplaceable. I think a lot of Dunn's legendary status is down to the perception of time. Those of us who grew up in the seventies and eighties would have sat through episodes and episoses of Dad's Army understanding that the programme had been running forever (before one was born) and because it represented the war (which in 1975 was closer then than the Falklands war is now) pushed it further back in time in our minds. We would also recognise Dunn from kids TV and again assume the distance between the two was longer and then 20 years later when we start deadpooling and the guy is still alive it is a miracle. I agree Mitchell is a possibility but I think the closest is probably Peter Sallis who spent 40 years playing a retired man in LOTSW. As well as delighting everyone as the voice of Wallace. I just had a brainwave: what about Gudrun Ure?Brilliant! Having known her as Supergran when growing up I was surprised to find out when googling a few years ago that a) she was still alive and wasn't as old as most seemed to think.

Looks like he has COPD with the breathing......

Add me in for 8th November - although with him on my current list anything that ends with 2015 suits me....

Or how about "Bought the peanut farm"

Even you won't make it September 31st! He has edited the original post and made you look foolish.... I for one hope that he doesn't make the starting line given that I have him on my current list. Sad news though......

September 16th

Have you been on the moon? Actually, even there they know this - he visited it with Gromit once for some cheese...... not the moon just my own little world. Okay............try Google.........great tool for you to use.........

The striked out ones won't make it. Striked? Really....?!

First Smiler death this year following the two lost limbs......

It's not our fault you Brits like to add a bunch of pointless letters everywhere. You mean poinztless

and very sad it makes me too. I really thought Stephen Moore would be the next THHGTTG cast member to go. Has anyone interviewed Big Ears to see how he's taking the news? Gary Lineker?

Agreed. I never vote for Zsa Zsa but today I have!!

He wrote the theme toon, sang the theme toon....

"He will sneak in and out very quickly" He has been known to do this...........allegedly!!

Patrick swayze looked like that in April 2009 and was dead by September 2009. That's 5 mouths but Clive is older and has had terminal cancer for a few years now so my prediction is 13 of December 2015 This sounds like a contradiction. You make a comparison to Swayze and give every reason why he would die much sooner and then plump for a date at the back end of year. I'll go for September - same date as Swayze!

In memory of the late Deidre Barlow this thread should be renamed as the Anne Kirkbride memorial thread......

Peter Sallis

it looks to me as if he has long cancer but I could be wrong Long cancer? A cancer that takes a long time to take effect.......?

That completes the hattrick for my DDP team jokers. Jules Bianchi joker for "Dead Wait" Christopher Lee joker for theme team "Deadlee" Peter O'Sullevan joker for theme team "O'Dead"
