This game is about probability not desire. You know more about these people than footballers or politicians so it makes sense to pick them. I had picked Terry Pratchett on a Couple of pools but it still felt like a punch to the stomach when I heard he had died.

With the exception of Doctor Who I have pretty much given up on watching broadcast TV but I was visiting my in-laws on Saturday and had the misfotune to witness Len Goodman's Partners in Rhyme clearly this treat is aimed at those people who are put off by the intellectual rigours of Catchphrase. They have given up scraping the bottom of the barrel and are not investigating what is under the barrel.

Not being a football fan I have often thought that about CR7 when I have observed his antics but where does the suggestions about the others come from, rumour or personal speculation?

Just seen a tweet from Derek Griffiths that she is in a bad way and sending best wishes.

He was on my (very) long list. Have read a few of his collaborations with Larry Niven. I think Pournelle added readability some of Niven's stand alone efforts are really hard going.

Just keep me going until I get a hit.

What about my points for Brian Aldiss?

These names should all be on the radar already but they are the only surviving cast members from Margaret Rutherford's Miss Marple films Muriel Pavlow (Murder She Said) Windsor Davies Francesca Annis James Bolam (all Murder Most Foul) Nicholas Parsons (Murder Ahoy)

My friend took his daughter to a con a he looked at the line up of signing sessions and said in a very loud voice Goodness me Peter Wyngarde is he still alive?

This They Might Be Giants song could be our theme tune - When Will you Die

"Sir you think because we are actors we sleep with anybody"

Saw him a few years ago in The Winters Tale at the RSC very sad.

Prince Henrik of Denmark (Consort to the Queen) aged 83 is suffering from dementia

Wow someone born at the start of that Parliament would have retired by now.

My hits are JvdW, Hywel Bennett, Don Rickles, Emma Morano & Ian Brady

First hit for my Unusual Suspects team this year. Thankfully avoided the duck with the du cann.

I remember getting an English leagues one free with shoot magazine and updating it with the Sunday paper despite having no interest in football. Guess I just like lists.

I got that without the link. So sad that it is still so relevant.

and previously he wasn't?

Parsons is in for the long haul.

I frequently e-mail Guardian obits asking why certain people haven't got obits yet. Didn't work for Piet De Jong.

TV Dramatist Rosemary Anne Sisson who wrote episodes of Upstairs, Downstairs died back in July. There gas been a Stage obit but don't recall seeing this previously.

That is one of the joys of LW finding out someone who you know the results of their impact but not necessarily their role in it.

I listened to it twice.
