    Geoffrey Hughes

    He was also one of the few actors (who did not have a lead role in the series) whose likeness adorned an adaptation of a Doctor Who Book - His role as Mr Popplewick in the Trial of a Timelord (13/14)
  2. I think there is something in this and I have been thinking about it myself. Is there an age at which your chances of survival actually impove in some form of statistic. Having said that there are a lot more people alive who are in the 60-70 age bracket. Maybe we should send a question to More or Less on Radio 4.

    The Ones That Got Away...

    Subway vigilante of justice/racist nutjob (delete as applicable) who shot four black guys who tried to mug him/begged for change back in the early 80s. Yes I researched that after I left yesterday. I'll put that up to 4 then.

    Sympathy - Zero Surely this was a potential outcome when you bid for them! You do realise that if people who know you have read this and see you at the match - they will turn up at your house with a brick

    The Ones That Got Away...

    I would go with 3 (QEII, BB & Mr Zimmermann). I will freely admit that I have no idea who Bernard Goetz is.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Scratch that, she's dead. And with her, Sobol, and Sendak dead any motivation for me making a Children's Book author theme team dies too. I have been thinking about writers too a couple of suggestions that might perk up your interest again Jan Pienkowski b.1936 who provided the distinctive illustrations for Helen Nicol's (b.1937) Meg & Mog books & Alan Ahlberg b.1938 I'm sure I could find hundreds of elderly children's book authors, but if I were to make a theme team for them I would want it to be a list of authors I have heard of before, of series I read when I was younger. Michael Bond (b. 1926), creator of Paddington Bear. Thats a start Bond, Beverly Cleary, Richard Adams, and Eric Carle were all ideas I wrote down. I could stretch the definition a bit to include Sir Terry Pratchett and Harper Lee. It's a moot point though, I have other theme teams put together that were much easier to make and more entertaining. I have an Authors theme team drafted out but Ray Bradbury put a hole in its bows but it is still afloat. I kept some names back!!

    Michael Jackson

    She had been found safe and unwell in Arizona. Do I hear the chisels carving her name into the 2013 tablets?

    Hans Christian Rausing

    Like it kept Paula Yates going!!! Well she died of a heroin overdose , though taking heroin is a kind of suicide in many ways. And your point is? she didn't commit suicide . No she didn't. However, the care of her four daughters did not prevent her from continuing with her precarious lifestyle which eventually claimed her life.

    British Character Actors

    I was watching said adaptation last night at the behest of my wife and daughter and I wondered about some of the older members of the cast particularly Benjamin Whitrow (Mr Bennett) b.1937 and Christopher Benjamin (Sir William Lucas) b.1934 both still with us and both look like they have enjoyed fine food and wine.

I was just trying to be controversial. Think of all those diseases that you might contract from sucking dirty toes!

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2013

    Sheila Mercier is the older sister of actor and charity campaigner Brian Rix (b.1924) who is married to Elspet Gray (b.1929) who played Blackadder's Mum. Hmmm interesting, have there ever been siblings or married couples appeared together on the DL? Know we've had father and son in the past. Staying with soap actors, a slightly tenuous link perhaps but Ron Moody (b. 1924) did a guest spot on EE not too long ago... "But he thought he better think it out again"
