I think today's coverage is to mark the 50th Anniversary of the broadcast of the first episode of That's Life so it is background information rather than new revelations

Maybe they have decided its not fair for people to have to attend Celine Dion concerts

I feel this will probably finish sometime over this long weekend

She is distinctly less Anna-Mae-ted

Updated Graph for Tina Turner An hit within the next four weeks will put 2023 as the third best performing year at this stage behind 2008 and 2020 However 2021 has a 140 day gap between 7th & 8th hits

I am going to say Tina was a good call by the committee. Not on the Crowdsourced, not on the Drop 40 Good judgement or extremely lucky

I actually forgot she was on the damn list

You were absolutely right to do so. As soon as I had posted I had twinges but in cases where you have hits in rapid succession such as Leslie Phillips and Bill Treacher the order they are announced may not be the exact order they occurred and I allowed both of those. The fast nature of the poll also means there is pressure to start a new round The woes of a game runner

I have been struggling with this all night trying to work out what is fair and what is not. The nature of this game is quite cut throat and it is dependent on rapid release of obituaries. However it was my mistake to award the points and rush to open a new round so I have decided to let the hit stand but with the warning that future hits may need more scrutiny and I will tighten the rules for 2024 to hopefully be better reflected. Apologies to any players who may have been impacted by this.

14. Richard Franklin WILDCARD 15. Rolf Harris 16. Dame Evadne Hinge/George Logan 17. Al Jaffee I have had three hits in this pool so far and they are all subsequent in my listing moving up the list, though technically Rolf was probably before George I think Richard Franklin should be very worried and Elizabeth Kelly (who is 18 on my list is not out of the woods)

Yes it would be an extremely inopportune moment I can think of different way to argue this. If @Summer in Transylvania had been in possession of Rolf as a pick on 10th of May it would be a lot easier to adjudicate on. I am impressed how well the family kept a lid on this and there was no concrete evidence that Rolf was dead when the round started the other day

The two I set out to champion (Help! & Concrete & Clay) fell very quickly

I think that everything that is left is park of the UK cultural background (especially for people of my age) if they came on the radio you could happily hum along to it without necessarily being able to name the track or the artist

I thought someone in the LGBT+ community should have given them some recognition but I suppose they were too early, too subtle and performed material written by Gyles Brandreth. He was a unique DDP pick though I did love the fact that I discovered that at an early review they performed at Peggy Ashcroft did not realise they were a drag act and thought they were genuinely two elderly lesbians
