    British Science Fiction Series

    When I have re-watched the stories that featured Liz Shaw I felt she was a character who could really work alongside The Doctor and the characterisation in this series is much deeper. However the production team wanted a much more "Why Doctor?" character and so Jo Grant was born. Shame about Caroline John. When Time annotated my list he did suggest she was one to watch

    Hosni Mubarak

    It would be like "Only When I Laugh"

    Phil Collins (And Other Genesis Types)

    ??? Peter Gabriel is alive, he's only 62. I think I know who you mean, but I'm buggered if I can think of his name at the moment. Gotit! Were you thinking of Robert Palmer? You are probably right but not sure how you get Peter Gabriel confused with Robert Palmer. Not sure I would put any member of Genesis on the list just yet but considering the Deaths we have had this year and RP himself things can be surprising

    People I Was Surprised To Find Are Still Alive

    He's the oldest living astronomer I believe. Assuming he doesnt pass away this year I'd be amazed if he wasn't on next years list'. He still has the occassional pint with his old mate Patrick Moore apparantely Surely this man must be a shoe-in for the 2013 list if he makes it that far. He will be 100 next year. He also shares my birthday. (Same day - not year!)

    Phil Collins (And Other Genesis Types)

    If you want something to really make you feel oppressed and the end of the world is nigh try the reworked version of "Here Comes the Flood" from Shaking the Tree. It is awesome but not very cheery.

    Hosni Mubarak

    I know it is not in the spirit of the website but I think Egypt could do without Hosni Mubarak dying in the next few days
  7. I am thinking that it is inversely proportional to their level of celebrity. Those who people know who they are have their own thread whereas second rate singers who did a bit of acting can pop up in all sorts of places!

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2013

    Thanks for this Yongle He is on a draft list of about 40 names I have pencilled in to research for possible inclusion on my reserve 400 list for 2013! Didn't make it to 2013 (already posted in The Welsh)

    The Welsh

    Victor Spinetti has died

    Nigel Kneale & Judith Kerr

    Judith was awarded an OBE in The Queen's Birthday Honours list. Is this a case of like Edward Kenneday and Robert Stephens - get it in quick whilst it is still an option? It is pretty damning that Judith has been overlooked for so long when Jacqueline Wilson and J K Rowling are already Dames.

    Britney Spears, Kerry Katona, Heather Locklear et al.

    I love seeing her scrapes and shenanigans Is this a euphemism?

    Alain Robert AKA Spider-Man

    Apparently ABC is making him wear a harness. He's never worn one so he's concerned it will affect his equilibrium. Personally, I'd be super-glued to the tightrope. Note that there was no comment as this event went off without incident.

    Predict The Paper 2012

    Is he ill? No just possibly in need of putting down

    Robert Mugabe

    If he wasn't he wouldn't be one of the chosen 50! "What we demand are hard facts..."

    The 6th Death Of 2012

    I count 47 votes. I didn't count and just went by the statement that 50 members had cast their votes. Oh yea weird didn't see that . Maybe it didn't register the other three votes im not sure unless my counting is off . Someone should do a recount .lol I know what happened 50 people have cast there votes and three people have deleted them probably . that's my best guess. I know what happened - I was trying to be a smart arse without getting my facts straight

    The 6th Death Of 2012

    I am intrigued by the way the percentages are calculated. Mubarek has 16/50 votes which by my reckoning should be 32% but the programme has put him at 34%. Does Deathlist maths work in a weird and fiendish way?

    Not Seen Any Good Films/movies

    Difficult one!! LOTR If you have read the books then the films are OK to watch but a wasted opportunity. If you haven't read the books then I would recommend reading the books but you might enjoy the films more if you haven't read the books!! HARRY POTTER Just don't bother!

    Clive Dunn

    I seriously think that Deathlisters should snap these up as official mugs to drink out celebratory champagne from when either Zsa Zsa or Thatcher finally depart

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Lucky I got this list in as Barry Unsworth is dead

    Clive Dunn

    Sainsbury's have a range of Father's Day gifts with Dad's Army theme blazoned with the words Don't Panic and Clive's picture. You can get a wallet, socks, tankard. I do hope he is getting some royalties for image rights which should pay for any medical care he may need in the near future. These could also become Deathlist memorabilia.

    The 6th Death Of 2012

    Following my success with Ray Bradbury. I used the same technique and voted for Mubarek but this time I seem to be in touch with the mood of the nation (or at least that part of it that frequents the Deathlist)

    Who's Going To Be Around For A While?

    Another one I was convinced was dead. I had Robert Vaughan on my list but not Peter.

    Elton John

    Watched the Diamond Jubilee Concert and whilst he did not look at Death's door he certainly looked worse than a lot of people who were older than him, Macca, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Cliff Richard, Rolf Harris & The Queen!

    Who's Going To Be Around For A While?

    Ken Dodd & Val Doonican both still active.
