The offer is open that if he is struggling with time then I will run based on his category choices but I will put a team in.

Joan Bakewell was speaking in the House of Lords yesterday about equal pay at the BBC. Sounded a bit shaky to me.

Give it a shake and allow it to crystallize you could get meth.

BBC radio 2 are to end The Organist Entertains leaving Nigel Ogden who has presented since 1980 out of a job. Is this a Desmond Carrington/Brian Mathew situation?

Labour activist and author Harry Leslie Smith has just tweeted that he has been in hospital with pneumonia for the past three days.

I notice that on the Masterlist. You have both Jean Barker & Baroness Trumpington as separate entries. Purely academic as I do not think she will go within the duration of this game.

DW & B7 actress (&RSC) Helen Blatch died back in 2015 but it has only recently been reported.

OK here is my attempt. 1. Peter Ackroyd 2. Franz Beckenbauer 3. Chubby Checker 4. Cher 5. Billy Connolly 6. Matthew Corbet 7. Hugh Cornwell 8. Tim Curry 9. Paul Darrow 10. Gerard Depardieu 11. Daryl Dragon 12. Aretha Franklin 13. Sonia Gandhi 14. Jimmy Greaves 15. Chas Hodges 16. Ken Hom 17. David Hope 18. Terry Jones 19. Eddie Large 20. Gerry Marsden 21. Penny Marshall 22. George R.R. Martin 23. Michael Martin 24. Joni Mitchell 25. Gerd Muller 26. Olivia Newton-John 27. Alan Osmond 28. Richard O'Sullivan 29. Martin Peters 30. Philip Pullman 31. Linda Rondstat 32. O J Simpson 33. Nobby Stiles 34. Peter Sutcliffe 35. Steve Tyler 36. Joan D. Vinge 37. Frank Williams (F1) 38. Neil Young 39. Meatloaf 40. Pele.

Maybe @Rotten Ali is getting all the New Year scrambling out of the way so this can start clearly in Feb or March.

For Christmas I got Doctor Who and The Krikketmen an adaptation of a Douglas Adams treatment for a never produced Doctor Who movie that eventually found its way into the Third Hitch-Hiker book, Life, The Universe & Everything.

I have got Fanny Waterman.

Would Mary Carlisle be a good sub in case Maryy Carlisle dies?

Glad to see the Doctor Who gets two entries and wrestlers none.

My three jokers were Kirk Douglas, Clive King & Ennio Morricone.

Unfortunately she has not made any over optimistic statements to summon up images of Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito.......... .....................Jowell in denial. I'll get mi coat.

I was premature PMing my team so I will just go with the 9. 1. Bob Barker 2. Sheila Steafal 3. Eileen Derbyshire 4. Tom Lehrer 5. Patricia Routledge 6. Sheila Mercier 7. Stanley Baxter 8. Honor Blackman 9. Lionel Blair.

Not sure if it is good or bad that none of my names appear in other peoples lists. I hàve a draft for Feb already.

No Bernard Hepton, No Peter Sutcliffe. No Douglas Hurd.

and again

up again.

The only deadpool to have my name on the roll of honour. I will be in.

1. Richard Overton 2. Red Schoendienst 3. Ennio Moricone 4. Raymond Briggs 5. Earl Cameron

However former Dutch PM Piet de Jong went without a qualifying obit.

Probably Mel Brooks DVD and Charles Aznavour close behind though.

I am happy for her list to be included.
