She hadn't been funny for years. I didn't watch Dinnerladies but the stuff she did in the eighties was fantastic and she wrote great characters for others to perform like the two soups sketch and Susie Blake's bitter continuity announcer. I also think she was very truthful akin to a 20th Century Jane Austen than a hilarious gag a minute comedian.

We are actually way ahead of the curve 5 hits in the first third of the year. Often the Autumn can provide some surprises. I don't agree with every name on the list but my Shadowlist is way behind so I am not going to criticize. Yes, maybe you're right. I only said they could improve. Unfortunately Zsa Zsa, Billy Graham, Bhumibol, Castro, Olivia, Douglas will never die so they are only dead weight although they must stay on the list. What really makes the difference are the other picks; I agree that Peter Sallis will probably die (like Havelange, Adams, Carrington) but the rest is messed up (Piggott? Walker? Gall? Mary Tyler Moore? Tommy Chong? James Randi? Doug Ellis? what did they smoke?). Still not sure Carrington will go. He looks like he has 100 written all over him. Still think MTM is a good call but Walker and Gall might be canny picks. We have to lose 25 each year so new blood has to come from somewhere. I still think there are at least 12-13 on the list. Maybe even 15.

I think it is more significant that Lady Forsyth went by herself which mean he wanted someone to be at Ronnie funeral but he himself was not up to it. Until now I have thought he was going to go on and on but I did also say that when he gave up being on telly we should pay more attention to him. Are you sure she didn't just go herself. You'd assume if Corbbet and Brucie were such great friends, then Lady Forsyth would have known him well? What I was saying that by going alone was more significant for our purposes than if they have both stayed at home. I think everyone assumed she was 'representing' Bruce irrelevant of her own relationship with Ronnie and his widow, Being married to a celebrity doesn't disqualify her from being a person in her own right. I think that's rather disrespectful. She is a celebrity in her own right being the only Puero Rican to win Miss World. I am sure that there were many famous faces at the funeral who were not included in the BBC webpage but by picturing Lady Wilnelia alone they knew the significance. If there was no mention of Bruce who had frequently performed with Ronnie some people may have tried to read this as a snub. The presence of Mrs Forsyth was important. My Father's partner died recently after being in a care home for 4 years with dementia. Initially my father was undecided whether he would go to her funeral because of his own health but if he had not we his children would have gone to represent him even though we had never met her sister and nephew who were organising the funeral. No. You said You implied that she was there solely as Bruce's representative. I understand what you are saying Toast and I am not trying to diminish Lady Forsyth as a person. I will accept that I have not expressed myself completely clearly but Brucie was Ronnie's some time comedy partner, I think it would have been unlikely that Ronnie would have made the social acquaintance of a Puerto Rican former Miss World unless they were introduced through Bruce. I am sure they all became firm friends but the connection is Bruce and the BBC knew that when they put her picture in their story.

OK 2016 you seem to be running amok with an AK47 through my cultural icons. Who next Peter Purvis, Tom Baker, John Craven, Jan Chappell, Johnny Ball, Brian Cant? This one was a shocker. I had her on my very long list because I remember her having treatment for something a while back but I was not planning to promote her to any of my teams. On the BBC website the first two tweets they quoted were from David Cameron and Ricky Gervais. Two bigger twats would be hard to find. Very sad day.

The committee is the committee and they are beholden to no man. There has been an experiment this year with the crowdsourced deathlist but the jury is still out on that one.

I've never heard the phrase "break my vagina" before. Is it in the sense of "breaking and entering" or the fact that it's already cracked? Both. I finally got around to looking him up. He is kinda adorable. So leave him alone - he'll have enough problems with LB and me fighting over him...or sharing him. Even odds. It'll kill him either way. I was shopping in MK just before Christmas and Mr Dyer was in W H Smiths signing copies of his erudite colouring book. However outside the shop you could not move for over excitable middle aged women and their daughters. I am sure it was easier on 'writers' before the age of selfies, they used to have to just sign the frontispiece now they have to stand up, hug their fans and pretend they are having fun.

First hit for me on this game Patricio Aylwin former President of Chile Now I need to find the foreign obits.

Ridley Scott Jack Nicholson Jimi Hendrix Amy Winehouse

Peter boyle was also in the x files as well very good their. Just walk away, don't even start. I know, I know but it will just be falling on deaf ears. Pretend you didn't see it.

Wiki has Gareth dying on 13th so do I get Unlucky 13th Bonus as well. That should put me into the top 100.

On Friday they also did a bit on whether more celebs are dying in 2016. Can catch it on I-Player. The answer is yes because of the boom in television and pop music in the fifties. (Bigger pool to draw from)

You live in Leicester. I am surprised there is just the one. My wife works in children's nursery. In years gone by she has had a Petal and an Angel.

I heard a bit of an interview with him on Radio 2 yesterday morning. Sounded healthy enough but was clearly delusional as he said Villa weren't that bad this season.

When I was that age, we didn't have the Information Super Highway or the Internets. You kids don't know how lucky you are. True dat. We just had hoops and sticks. Hoops and sticks, you very fucking spoilt, all I had was half a brick and a dried dog turd to play with. The days before Channel 4.........

Erm, how can any president of Israel be "overrated"?They're usually portrayed as the scum of the earth by the remedia for depriving Palestinians of land on which to carry out their oh so charming medieval religion. Nice "trolling" unless you're just a gigantic dumbass. I'm glad you are so against people invading countries in the name of reilgion because that's exactly what the Israelians did to the Palestinians.Welcome to the forum Dubya.. shut up you fat loser. You are beneath me.My hair may be starting to depart and my eyesight aint what it was but im not fat!!! kill yourself you fat bastard asshole cunt motherfucker. Curiously all those words are spelled correctly. Well that depends if you accept the American spelling of 'ass' or the English one of 'arse' As Cat would say 'I prefer arse' I think the American version has general acceptance as a derogatory term for example the Kia Soul

While I am here I am going to add Jonathon Ross and Jim Davidson.

I was thinking of the discussions about various deadpools and I came up with an idea for a Scavenger Hunt Bingo Deadpool. The organiser would select five categories and each player would then pick 5 names in each category. There would be three ways to win 1. All five names in one category 2. One name in each individual category 3. Three unique hits across all 25 names. The prize for the winner would be to take over the next game and select their own categories (and run the next leg of the game). This would one of those things that could be over in a flash like the Deathrace or could drag on for months but would be self renewing. If this is something that people would do then I will post the first five categories for a start date of 01 June. Do ask any questions.

I forgot my subs: Bob Newhart Mary Quant Jon Voight When I was compiling I thought it was 25 not 20 so at least I can use some of those names.

I did a bit of digging and found an article from 2004 which described Roy as 71 so we are looking at 1933 or 1932. He was older than I thought. I also believed Arthur was older than him. Oh well
