47. Stephen Sondheim  ol, di, to, gr, ro @gcreptile & @theoldlady get a second hit in a second category @Death Impends gets a fourth hit but only in two categories @RoverAndOut gets a fifth hit across three categories & @Toast strengthens her potentially winning position with a fifth hit her second in the Pulitzer category

I was thinking Leslie Phillips and one of Kissinger, Lansbury, Gorbachev, Marcos or Tutu

I think no more than 2 of those 15 will go before the end of 2022.

Ian Curteis is hit number 32 for me

Judy is older than Richard and he is now more frequently seen without her. I got the impression she had had a number of health issues in the past and was not doing 'brilliantly'

Twitter is just reporting the death of Nicole Jaffe (aged 80), the original voice of Velma in Scooby Doo but there is nothing else confirming this yet

I think the top three might be worthy and some of the others are regulars in the various deadpools but I would be astonished if Arnold Yarrow ever got onto the main list

Indeed @RoverAndOut gets his fourth hit but his second in the Baseball category More importantly it is a unique hit the fourth of the game to add a little more jeopardy to those two players who are currently in a winning position

The current series is not deserving of either the lavish praise nor the unbridled censure it is receiving. Like S26 of the classic series it is something that is just heading in the right direction. It has been an alternate episode of over complex exposition followed by a competent return of an old monster. So anticipation for Sunday is limited. It is a bit like listening to someone tell a shaggy dog story and just desperately hope the punchline is worth it.

On Saturday 2014 will draw level with 2021. There were ten hits in total in 2014 and it has been the worst year since the 6 scored in 2011. The next date to watch is 5th December which is when the 10th hit in 2013 occurred (there were a total of 13 hits that year) but there were four in December

Can I convert my Red Joker to the King of Hearts? Thanks

From my original list from 2012 James Ellis (1931) - James is the only cast member to appear in all series Frank Windsor (1927) Brian Blessed (1936) Colin Welland (1934) Jeremy Kemp (1935) Geoffrey Whitehead (1939) Marcus Hammond (?) David Daker (1935) Stephen Yardley (1942) Bernard Holley (1940) Joss Ackland (1928) John Woodvine (1929) Paul Angelis (1943) - Brother of Michael and provided the voice for Ringo in the Yellow Submarine film Ian Cullen (1939) Geoffrey Hayes (1942) - Better known for presenting Rainbow Allan O' Keefe (?) Ray Lonnen (1940) Those in bold are still with us leaving 8/17 Six of those names are on the radar and the other two might be an Obit problem

There are some significant names on the list who really have outlasted the expectations. So it is possible that if we gets the right names transferred over there could be a significant toppling of the dominoes early in the new year

22. Burt Reynolds (Actor)  @DieHardGiantsFan I'll think you will find died in 2018

Doctor Who cannot afford a 'star' so it is either going to be someone at the end of their career who is looking to go out on a high or someone who is up and coming and won't mind it being a millstone around their neck forever It will never be what is what but if I accept that I want it to be as good as it can be an entertaining

Lets face it this is easy/lazy journalism. They look at the betting sites they look at RTDs past output. They get some pictures of the actors look nice/edgy/in appropriate to suit their angle and throw some words at a page. I try not to get too involved anymore I will wait for the announcement and probably have to Google them

Just a heads up as I did with 20/20 there will be a continuation game for 20/20 +1 which will start in January There are currently 23 living picks who have been selected across the year for 1921. Those that survive till the end of the year will be able to be selected in the residual game. The champion will get the first pick and then it will be a free for all until all the names are selected or the first player is eliminated. The aim is to pick the individual who will last the longest. I will put the list of names up with about week to go till New Year but selections will not be allowed until the winner of the main game has been confirmed and made their selection

Aged 36. That sounds like old age for a rapper

This is a tough one. We could still be three years out from a general election and they might want to see whether they can weather the storm. It then comes down to factions. He is never going to lose a vote of no confidence in the commons so he will have to be ousted by internal Tory machinations. He is in a pincer movement of potential enemies. There are the residual one nation and old school Tories who will bemoan the state of Brexit and Tax rises and then there are the ERG types who are probably livid that they are going to take their snouts out of the consultancy trough. I think it is the later group who are more likely to write to the Chairman of the 1922 committee and would the two factions come together to get rid of Johnson when they would have wildly different opinions about who should replace him. Because Johnson supported Brexit to basically further his career he is not committed to the ideology of Brexit and so he can probably reach across better to the one nation Tories than someone like Gove. From the countries point of view getting rid of Johnson is just rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. To get rid of the stink of corruption the whole Government needs to go

I am paying for Netflix so my daughter can use it. Her boyfriend was paying for Britbox so I was using that but I am not going to do any more different subscriptions. I wanted to watch Foundation but that was on Amazon. I will wait till it is somewhere I can see it for free Daughter's boyfriend has stopped paying for Britbox now.

I believe the smart money is on ABBA for the Christmas No. 1

Mike Tyson claims to be on the verge of dying but I think that is his own words rather than a medical diagnosis Sounds no less coherent than previous occasions I have heard him speak

He was also good enough to cover up the cracks in RTD's writing on first watching. Possibly the best actor to have played The Doctor - not necessarily the best Doctor but a fantastic actor

Vague and non-specific discussion about the health of Princess Charlene of Monaco She is relatively young but this is The Independent so they are just reporting the statement If you were to extrapolate on that evidence I would suggest ME or a Mental Health Incident but there is always the possibility of some form of cancer

He is also the only one of her children who is not a divorcee
