I will check this out tomorrow

Missed that but have corrected the masterlist
-
I think I understood what happened here was that I rejected one of your initial picks and promoted a sub but when Bob Newhart died I had forgotten about the pick rejection and just reused your sub. However I can verify you did send me Thomas Pynchon's name as an additional sub which I should have used Will correct the masterlist

Apologies for the length of time this verification has taken but there were a flurry of late entries and work has been quite busy However I can now reveal all the picks (See page 1) Here is a summary for those who like their statistics Total Number of Teams is 27 The Simpsons - 50 Picks (24 Uniques) - Most popular pick - James Earl Jones Political Spouses - 57 Picks (27 Uniques) - Most popular pick - Marita Camacho Quiros Ivor Novello - 59 Picks (30 Uniques) - Most popular pick - Don Black Football - 60 Picks (32 Uniques) - Most popular pick - Denis Law Batman Films - 46 Picks (18 Uniques) - Most popular pick - Michael Caine & Lee Merriweather There have been no hits up to now that I am aware of We are now in the checking phase two categories have been really hard to verify - Ivor Novello and Batman. I have tried hard to be consistent and accurate but I admit I may have made some mistakes. If any one wishes to challenge any of the entries (some people have successfully defended my challenges to eligibility during verification) then please do so (with evidence) and if I have made the mistake I will swap the offending pick for their sub. If no sub is in place they will be asked to pick again but they will not be able to pick an already selected unique pick Thank you everyone who has played and we will see if this lasts into 2026

It is a pity Ridley Scott can't retire retrospectively. Ideally before he made 1492 and Prometheus
