    Kill or Save: UK No.1-hits of the 90s

    11 Hale & Pace & the Stonkers – The Stonk -1 This is technically a double A side with The Smile Song by Victoria Wood - Not in the league of Let's Do It but probably a better track

    Joss Ackland

    He played the villain in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and one of the Lethal Weapon films. He is the voice of the Black Rabbit in the 1979 Warership Down animated film and he played C.S.Lewis in a BBC adaptation of Shadowlands which is far superior to the Anthony Hopkins film version

    Kill or Save: UK No.1-hits of the 80s

    Bowie and Blondie also had top four finishes in the 70s KoS so you could argue that there is a bias built in by the DL demographic. Soft Cell is a cover version of a 60s song (and not nearly as good as their other hits like Torch) whereas 99 Red Balloons is so very 80s capturing the paranoia about the risk of nuclear destruction and cold war tensions I think it would be a worthy winner Though at the moment I would settle for any of these

    DEATHS OF THE SILVER SCREEN DEADPOOL

    As promised a movie survivors deadpool. RULES Pick a film with at least three (or four) remaining cast members and submit the name of the film and the three selected cast members on this forum The first player to have all three of their cast members die wins the round. No two players can pick the same film but are allowed to duplicate cast members If two players end up with their single remaining pick being the same performer then they are obliged to add a tie breaker to their team this can be any member of their film's cast or crew. At the end of the round entries are wiped and everyone picks again. All films in the previous rounds are out of bounds (though could be reintroduced in the subsequent round). Winning films will go into the Hall of Fame and are out of bounds for the whole game. Entries start from Monday 20th August but late entries will be permitted. However late entries may not duplicate actors.

    Which KoS should be played next?

    Love the format. Happy with any but think we should finish with the No.1s first

    Terrorists & Topical Terrorist Targets

    I think they exist more as a concept rather than an organisation like the raft of home grown far right extremists that encourage each other on line From a deadpooling perspective it is an avoid for me
