Looking at the graphs and stats of when the third death occurs in each year. If the death is early it is in a very narrow window (Day 35-38) A majority of third deaths have happened between Days 63-93) Today we are on Day 73 Then there is a big gap to the late third hits which occur after Day 134 I am only using 14 key years for this There has not been a third hit later than Day 166 which is sometime in June

He was a fixture in our house. We watched Jim'll Fix It and listened to his Old Record Club on Sunday lunchtimes. He was one of the most recognizable celebrities of the day. my wife says she always found him creepy but her mum had some of this books. He was a master of obfuscation with all his charity work and hospital visits being so visible. However there were those who was suspicious. The producer who worked on Children in Need refused to have Saville any where near the event

There are at least 8 votes left but I an predicting quite a battle between the last five to avoid being the last eliminated so it may last over the weekend

I think George Michael was a great singer but after his Wham days he just didn't have many great songs.

Will that be before or after Teletubbies say Eh-oh and I Believe I Can Fly?

With six places in the next round I don't think it will be too bad for them. The multiple entries for people like The Spice Girls, Peter Andre and solo members of Take That are more likely to present a problem I recognise more titles in 96/97 but doesn't I like them more Just trying to pick my six to champion

Eric Brown who won a British Science Fiction Association award for his short stories has died aged 62

In any other grouping it would probably be top 10 but miss out on the qualification spots Here it is just better than most of the competition

I did a listen of the tracks I did not know and it doesn't change the five that I will be voting for first but it does inform me which ones I will be down voting next there is a lot of Meh.... Nothing awful but things so generic you would be hard pressed to put a title to them if you heard them on the radio

Didn't realise that Stiltskin was Ray Wilson's band before the ill thought out Genesis collaboration

Just cancelled Netflix

I don't think this is too much of a mystery. Losing the 7st probably just allowed the ladies in question to rationalise potentially getting their hands on some of his cash/celeb status. They do have some standards you know. I think this is known as The Crouch Law

I've just realised why this list is such a blank for me and it is Chris Evans fault. It was around this time that he took over the Radio 1 breakfast show so I went straight from Radio 1 to Radio 4 in my car and I had just got married and my wife did not do Radio so the only ones I know are those that have had impacts elsewhere or have survived onto the modern Radio 2 playlist

Fairground is not peak Simply Red unfortunately but at least I know it

This is going to take some researching so playing safe on the first vote

I was using the two lowest ranked scores at the time of posting as the metric by which I judged whether this was feasible to finish today. If there is a battle this will go well into tomorrow. As only three of my seven selections remain I will be upvoting them and one of them is Sleeping Satellite I don't dislike any of the remaining six but the two dance tracks are probably the weakest (much preferred Mr Vain)
