That is in addition to my main game list which contains nearly 500 names.

I did this last year and have done it again. I have cross referenced my 1000 name long list against the DDP picks for the last 4 years and here is a list of the top 20 oldest people who have not been selected on the DDP in the past 4 years. Those with a * were on the top 20 last year. 1. Peter Brook - Theatre director b.1925* 2. William McPherson - Judge b.1926* 3. Margaret Stuart-Barry - Writer b.1927* 4. Babs Chinnery Beverly Sister b. 1927* 5. Teddie Chinnery Beverly Sister b.1927* 6. Jeanette Charles Actress b.1927* 7. Kate Wilhelm Writer b.1928* 8. Nicolas Roeg Director b.1928* 9. C W McCall Singer b.1928 10. John Barton. Theatre Director b.1928* 11. Tony Soper. Naturalist b.1929* 12. Lynne Reid-Banks Writer b.1929* 13. Jack Higgins Writer b.1929 14. Derek Walcott Poet b.1930 15. Les Vandyke Songwriter b.1931 16. Mona Hammond Actress b.1931 17. Clive Cussler Writer b.1931 18. Brian Trueman Presenter b.1932 19. Antonia Fraser Writer b.1932 20. Jean Boht.Actress b.1932 To be fair none died in my top list last year.

My dad watches this on one of his channels every day at 7 pm. Even I wouldn't want to make a list based on this show. I'll expect one next week then.

I was at least expecting a list of surviving cast members or murderers, like someone did for Columbo.

I didn't realise she was dead.

I think there is capacity in the list to get to 15. Let us speculate how far we can go once the record is in the rear view mirror.

Stage name? Simon Honey but will be well covered (for once) because of his offspring Tyger Drew-Honey.

I am not a fan of ffbi picks but defining famous can be hard. As an example only I am going to talk about Doctor Who. The lead actors and in more recent years the Showrunners are proper famous and would good to grace the DL proper but if you look at the list of people picked in Scavenger Hunt Bingo there are people even I had to look up. Will the population in general know who David Gooderson or Damaris Hayman are? However they will receive a modicum of publicity on death thanks to the dedication of some die-hard obsessive (Toby Hadoke).

Raymond Briggs receives Lifetime Achievment award from the Books Trust. Looks terrible unlike my DDP pick, the much older Shirley Hughes who seems positively beaming

There was an indepth discussion about Pancreatic cancer on PM yesterday.

That might count against him like Carrington not getting on because of R2 coverage. Don't think Hatch is very R4.

Good news so far. Out of theatre back on the ward.

En masse from the French.

I suspect sales go up if Queen is on the cover. Less than 200 months to live shock!

Ken Watanabe.

Biblio Snr has just gone into surgery for a hip replacement. However found out last night that my elder siblings who have medical POA have agreed a DNR policy if things go wrong. Quite worried.

Heads & Tails. I saw him play Feste at the RSC.

My father celebrated his 88th birthday on Sunday. Yesterday he fell and broke his hip and has been admitted to hospital.

OK I am one of those who would be characterised as a member of the PC brigade. Vegetarian, lefty! However I have just had to edit a post I made in Places with funny names because when I typed the work sN-word (half suppressed secretive laugh) the swear filter took it uppn itself to edit it. Seriously?

A gay night club on Traken (Doctor Who fans only need smirk at this)

"...stressed the need for people to respect the choice of US voters." Except it wasn't. If people are going to make comments about the US presidential election they need a crash course in the electoral college. This is a pretty good history of it. Fair point.I think the general thrust of the article was that there was an absolute hysteria surrounding his Presidency and, from this end of the Atlantic, its all the more strange considering who we have had here on State visits and there were no mass protests or summat. I don't like him at all but taking to the streets here with 'proper' placards, neatly organized by Momentum, the Anti Nazi league and the Socialist workers party wont do fuck all. Just my opinion. There was a massive protest againt Reagan in '84 and he won by a landslide. It's all part of free speech. You can't expect the 49% to roll over if the 51% vote to exterminate them. That's a bit dramatic.I was talking about the Tofu eaters of Islington going down to Westminster to register their false horror at Trumps election. Dramatic effect. Trump supporters are going to winge on about people getting upset when he abuses them because he said he was going to. It doesn't work like that. He can ahve the power but everyone doesn't have to like what he does with it. So far he has ( tried to) denied entry into the US for citizens of several countries.However some of those citizens already had US visas and/or were residents in the US anyway. That alone makes Trump a massive fucktard. The issue with denying access to the US for 'refugees' or people from other nations is separate to the idiocy of denying access to people trying to return to the US where they were already residing. He is also trying to return the US back to the dark ages by denying the right to abortion and, well, he is doing other things of a questionable nature. Im not sure who he is actually 'abusing' but he is deffo a cunt. Thing is, we all get the message, he gets the message, the World gets the message. Everybody has the right to protest but, over here, that's the green light for Left wing political activists, anarchists, the students and the middle class to take to the streets. It is rare indeed to see working class folk marching on Parliament to vent their spleen. Trump wasn't created by the disenfranchised working classes............... No he wasn't but he used them as his route to power. Do we really think he cares about miners or car workers?
