You can get some practice in on that every week by watching House of Games. I normally recognise two and have to google the other two

She gave an interview recently in which she seemed in good spirits but has been fairly reclusive since she stopped being a working royal and handing out degree certificate to future budding Deathlisters. However the funeral of Her Majesty is not an average royal occasion so she may agree to attend (or wish to). In which case you can more advisedly choose which of those Kents you put on the list next year

Post from the B7 Appreciation Society on Facebook has indicated that Brian Croucher (Travis + Eastenders and Doctor Who) is very ill in hospital

I have heard some people say that it seems less over board than it was for Prince Phillip of The Queen Mother but I think because of the other constitutional events that have to take place that does seem like a bit of a distraction These are historic days and that in itself is interesting.

Not a problem as far as I see

Every time the Queen has been included there has been a debate as to whether it is worthwhile. There have been misses like ONJ and the fact that neither of the Pope's made the cut this time round does leave the door open there but I can't think of too many other people who the complaint will be made of that they have only been included because they were too big to miss Until the start putting Trump on the list every year

I think the 2023 list could be quite interesting as we are running out of too big to miss but not sure how ill they are names

Another significant milestone for Charles III is 1st November 2025 when he will overtake George II and become the fourth oldest monarch to sit on the throne

Can we just check that with VAR?

Another post from Robin Asquith's Twitter feed Not sure how recent this is

I saw someone suggested that the funeral attendance in the capital is expected to be in the region of 750,000

Here is the Graph updated for Goddard I said we might scrape double figures if we had a busy final third. Looking like we might!

19th September Quietly nip out the back door

Angela Lansbury for me

Those milestone dates for the five shortest reigning monarchs Monarch Duration Date Lady Jane Gray 9 Days 17th September 2022 Edward V 78 days 25th November 2022 Edward VIII 327 days 1st August 2023 Richard III 2 y 58 days 4th November 2024 James II* 3y 321 days 27th July 2026 *James II was deposed and driven into exile and replaced with his daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange who ruled jointly All five of these were forcibly removed from power Mary I was the first one to die on the throne from natural causes after a reign of 5 years and 122 days which would take us to January 2028

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.
