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

Morrissey and Marr wrote some songs for Kirsty McColl which are surprisingly upbeat but when you listen to them you can detect the sense of The Smiths in there.

I remember watching a video retrospective of the Eighties shown in New Year 1990 and they asked music journalists to nominate the most influential and most overrated acts of the decade. Only The Smiths appeared in the top five of both lists. Which I think sums them up pretty well.

I would actually disagree. The biggest problem with it is that it is not A Fish Called Wanda which everyone seemed to want but they should no enough of Cleese that he would not just do the same thing again. It is a enjoyable ensemble piece and there are some very good lines "My parents bought me a puppy...... I just didn't get it"
