Looking at some of the other teams I note some names that have generated quite a bit of discussion in these parts. I have tried to avoid these names but IIRC I started the last game quite well but then lost my older stragglers. The pool seems a lot wider for this one

Looking at pictures of Camilla at the accession ceremony yesterday. My overriding thought was that if she had an Emu puppet she would be a dead ringer for Rod Hull

Yes

And Captain Birdseye

For those with a Doctor Who background. When you say Queen Camilla surely you should be thinking of The Three Who Rule!

Who is standing next to Starmer? (to his right. I know Tony Blair when I see him)

Marsha Hunt di, mc, ph, ro, af The only person who moves into a winning position from this is @Perhaps who is now on four Star Trek actors and needs Julie Newmar to complete their set.

Marsha Hunt is a hit here in the Star Trek category but not a game ending one nor a unique one Will update shortly

Even though I lost this it has been a lot of fun. Will assemble a team for the new game next week. Thanks

I was trying to find a headline for the update for my work game that struck a balance between taste and humour so I went with "WHAT WAS THAT MORRISSEY?"

Doesn't narrow it down much....

I think @MortalCaso is closer to the ball park. His ominous use of the phrase "the time remaining to me" and his already ruddy complexion do not suggest to me he will live as long as his father

Yeah that is weird but are they often christened with the same first name but known by their middle names

Harald V of Norway will probably be the most interesting one as he is the closest to the British Throne of any other European Monarch and unlike Belgium, Spain and Holland has not abdicated in favour of younger members

From tomorrow (Saturday) at 1pm all the flags on public buildings that have been flying at half-mast will be raised to full mast for 24 hours in honour of the new King - then on Sunday they will be returned to half-mast until some time after the funeral

I have the same Christian name as my father, both my grandfathers and my maternal uncle

The funeral will be an interesting form spotting opportunity for the 2023 list as almost anyone who is invited will do their hardest to actually attend so it might be the case of who isn't there and trying to decide - were they not invited or were they too ill to attend?

Updated the graphic for the seventh hit this year Every year shown has at least two deaths from this point of the year onward We might just scrape double figures if we have a busy final third

We were visiting my father-in-law and we arrived about 5.30pm. He could fed up with the rolling news coverage and put a couple of episodes of Frasier on on All 4. Imagine our shock when we turned back to BBC 1

Edouard Balladur

Angela Lansbury this time
