Can Martha Stewart get a QO to give The Old Crem a hit?

The Fifth death last year occurred on day 64. That would place it on 5th March this year. However the sixth death was on day 74. Worth noting that the previous record year 2017 didn't get it's fourth hit until 15th May

But you are the defending champion. That has to count for something.

So @gcreptilegets a hit with Rush Limbaugh and is now in a winning position awaiting the passing of Liz Sheridan who had the memorable role of Woman in Car in Forget Paris. We have a fight on our hands

Leslie Phillips I think.

March 17th

It is now two years since the death of Paul Flynn, the last serving MP to die. This is a new record of time between deaths of serving MPs.

When Des O'Connor got the job there was discussion about giving it to Paul Merton. I think he would be great.

Probably younger than the average Countdown viewer

Well considering one of them is picked in the no.1 position on the official Deathlist suggest there may be a broad consensus

William McPherson brings me a 17th hit

I have now added a list of hits to the scoreboard

Every pick in each round needs to be unique to your team but there is no ownership as a new round begins so if you are quick to the site with a death you can hoover up the best picks for your team.

Why would you pick Doug Mountjoy when Ray Reason was still alive?

Get (as I believe they say) in!

Congratulations Captain 1921 Elizabeth Kelly/Ray Lawler 1922 Ruth Bidgood/John B. Goodenough 1923 Gloria Whelan/ Bob Barker 1924 Priscilla Pointer/Sheldon Harnick 1925 Ysanne Churchman/Pete Murray 1926 Gudrun Ure/Leonard Fenton 1927 Leotyne Price/Kenneth Anger 1928 Denise Bryer/Jean Marie Le Pen 1929 Patricia Routledge/Eric Carle  1930 Edna O'Brien/Bill Treacher

I can't really agree with that Gabriel was brilliant but it was bonkers brilliant. He probably is better of on his own. The best album Genesis did is the first one after Gabriel left, though Hackett was still there. They evolved into a different band

Le Pen was trending on Twitter but it turned out only because a minister in the Macron Government accused Marine of being soft on Islam

A lot of those names should be in there. But as always Kate Bush for me is the most significant

Cloris Leachman is hit 16

You can join at anytime. The leader only has two hits.

Egged on by the front page of today's Currant Bun

Leon Spinks is my first hit on my Shadow List. Pathetic I know.

Leon Spinks for me here

Just to put this into context for the actresses there are still five winners from the sixties and number 10 on the list is 1980.
