    After Peter Sarstedt died I was astonished to find that Zizi Jeanmaire was still alive now 92.

    So is John Hurt a unique? He's marked red but Ali and I share him.Clearly not unique as you both had him. An editing error on the compiled lists. Picks were marked red when they were uniques but obviously when the second pick came in I didn't change him to black. However my word masterlist was corrected.

    British Science Fiction Series

    we just lost John Hurt, now Peter Capaldi. Sad days for Doctor Who fans ! I think Capaldi is probably my favourite of the new doctors, so sad to see him go. Apparently the BBC want to recapture the glory days/mass appeal of the Tennant/Billie Piper era, so expect another young, pretty-boy actor and a lot of romance in 2018... (Not that I am against Tennant. I think the show actually "clicked together better once Billie left, though as the first few seasons were a bit rough. To me, David Tennant's take on the Doctor is that he is the Fifth Doctor done properly.) There are so many things wrong with this post that I cannot adequtedly respond to while posting on a phone.

Early form seems to have dried up. Bit like Liverpool.

    With the prospect of a Trump state visit later this year her Maj might consider dying as being a useful get out clause.

    Sir John Hurt

    He was Caligula in I, Claudius. I was getting confused with Malcolm McDowell who played him in the film version.

    Seen Any Good Films Lately?

    I watched Captain Fantastic on the plane it is very good Viggo Mortensen deserves his Oscar nomination and the six children have a real ring of truth about them. However it is not an easy watch but there are some very funny scenes.

    Sir John Hurt

    I forgot he had played Alan Clarke. He did seem to be willing to take on roles that were seriously challenging and not automatically accessible. I didn't like his character in the fourth Indiana Jones film but that was such a massive mess it is hardly his fault. He gave the impression that it was important for him to be working as an actor which is why there is such a breadth through Doctor Who, Merlin, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter to the more high brow stuff. Looking at the various post I keep being reminded of stuff that he had been in that I had forgotten.

    I have just got off a flight from Addis Ababa and opened this site over breakfast at Frankfurt Airport. It nearly ended up with muesli everywhere. No More War

    She's not all that interesting, is she? Personally I'm surprised she seems to be such a big name for UK peeps. I can remember her being on a regular TV show with Dick van Dyke when I was very, very young, but she has not impinged upon my world in any way since. I mostly know the name from her television production company because it had the logo like the MGM lion only with a kitten. The company produced shows like St Elsewhwere, Hill Street Blues and Remmington Steele. I think I must have watched whatever was on after them.

    Aye, or warn Deathlist cup players first and then stick a fork in their electricity! Labour haven't picked a candidate yet. If their selection criteria isn't did you vote for Brexit and can you name Stoke City's starting 11 last week they are really fucked. Could this be Ed Balls opportunity for a comeback?

    Thoughts On The 2017 List

    No Gord Downie? He seems a dead cert by all the standards. I kept myself to 15 as that is the record but I think he was one of the twenty that I dropped. One of the more ill than famous picks.

    Political Frailty

    What and he hasn't even answered the West Lothian question He has answered the question "Who will be the first casualty on Bibliogryphon's Hare's Pool Team?" He could have hung on just a little longer only 26 points. Does that put me near the top of the leader board?

    If Prince Philip goes first, will you switch to posting a solo photo of the Queen every day? In that photo Philip is looking like he would quite like to go now thank you very much (before she starts again)

    Well Mary Tyler Moors wasn't one of my fatal 15 so I think we should take that as a bonus.
