I do this every year (for the past eight years) Listed below are 20 old people who have not made an appearance in the DDP in the past eight years. The age group is narrow 78-82 so might be more use of where will we be in five years time but some might be useful for theme teams. When cross referencing the entire DDP rosta against my reserve list of 1100 names there is always the possibility of errors creeping in especially where people are listed in strange ways (normally by title) 1. Robert Swindells Writer (b.1939) 2. Tony Hatch Composer (b.1939) 3. John Gummer Politician (b.1939) 4. Margaret Drabble Writer (b.1939) 5. Jack Cunningham Politician (b.1939) 6. Peter S. Beagle Writer (b.1939) 7. David Hope Archbishop (b.1940) 8. Clive Doig TV Producer (b.1940) 9. Pauline Collins Actress (b.1940) 10. Esther Ofarim Singer (b.1941) 11. Sue McGregor Journalist (b.1941) 12. Eden Kane Singer (b.1941) 13. Lynley Dodd Writer (b.1941) 14. Stephen Yardley Actor (b.1942) 15. Wilf Lunn Presenter (b.1942) 16. Calvin Klein Designer (b.1942) 17. Judith Hann Presenter (b.1942) 18. Peter Greenaway Director (b.1942) 19. Frank Field Politician (b.1942) 20. John Challis Actor (b.1942)

Spade v GUN is the only match where both players have scored.

I Will click on all the threads but when I see University Presidents my heart sinks

You do realise this is how the stupid scenario in King Ralph becomes a reality!!!! Give it a couple of generations.

There would need to be a translator as well

Yes they are putting in too much effort and should be like a bunch of zombies out there

The only place Norton Juster is a hit for me even though I have played him in the DDP and Poker Games in the past. 20/250

There is a Yahoo report and Rolling Stone but nothing I would consider QO worthy but I don't doubt the veracity of it.

@RoverAndOut has got himself a hit for Quartet with Trevor Peacock

Me 2 DL 4 Not so good this year

Have I missed one? Which category?

Gone awfully quiet.....

I think a lot of people who posted support for Harry & Meghan when they first left were probably those who had at best an antipathy towards the Royal Media circus so they are not going to tune in to a chat show about blowing the whole thing open

In some ways we should not look at this in too negative a light. The artist in question knows they will die at some point. If they negotiate the sale of the rights whilst they are still alive it means they are in control and can put conditions around it to ensure their most meaningful and profound works won't be used for cheese burger commercials.

Well that is tomorrow's breakfast sorted

We should raise a glass in his honour........oh wait

My next sixth month survivors 1. Bob Dole 2. Leslie Phillips 3. Boris Pahor 4. Bob Parker. 5. Gudrun Ure. 6. Cleo Laine

Oddly enough my first ever trip to the RSC at Stratford was to see Henry V starring Kenneth Branagh and Patricia Routledge

I did look at the rest of the impressive list and it is often unfair to categorise actors by genre. I mean you list Patricia Routledge and link her with Keeping Up Appearances but she has been a member of the RSC and done many things like Hetty Winthrop

Character Actor or Sitcom thread?

Can't see Johnny Briggs really being a miss when the 'smart' money was following June Brown, Eileen Derbyshire and Barbara Knox. Even Leonard Fenton didn't break the Crowdsourced list or the Drop 40.

Johnny Briggs is hit no.19 for me here

Or she could take a leaf out of the Westminster Government's playbook and be filmed hacking Alex Salmond's head off on the steps of Holyrood and still not think it is a resigning matter.

Younger than Terrance Hardiman. And Leslie Phillips is still alive. Vast body of work. Sad loss

How do you know that the courtroom is not haunted by the ghost of Roger Lloyd-Pack
