John Savident is a hit in the Coronation Street category for myself (3rd hit, each in a different category) and for @arghton who gets the first hit of the game I fear the numbers of possibilities are diminishing for my potential B5/B7 category in a future game we have lost John Savident and Pamela Salem across two days Doesn't change the number of finishing possibilities @Commtech Sio Bibble and @Captain Hemlock are the only players without a hit at the moment

That'll Do Congrats @MariNisia 1924 William Russell/Eve Marie Saint 1925 Pete Murray/Ysanne Churchman 1926 Timothy Dudley-Smith/Gudrun Ure 1927 Sandy Gall/Leontyne Price 1928 Tom Lehrer/Queen Ratna of Nepal 1929 John Woodvine/Vera Miles 1930 Douglas Hurd/Edna O'Brien  1931 Ken Bates/Leslie Caron 1932 Roy Hattersley/Prunella Scales 1933 Tinto Brass/Kim Novak

A hit in 20/20 + 4 if we can get an English language obituary

If @MariNisia can find an English QO for Irene Camber we could have a very quick round here

Time marches on as so we move into the Thirties with this competition It is quite fast and fun but you need to be on the ball but if you miss a round or two you can join in at any time Basically the aim of the game is to pick 20 candidates from the years 1922-1931.You need 2 from each year and you must have one male and one female from each year. Candidates only qualify if they have a national news article about their death in English and or an obituary. The game does not start until 1 January 2022 (UK Time Zone) and no teams can be posted before this time and will continue until the end of the year. As soon as one candidate from anyone`s list dies the pool will be immediately restarted and it is first come first serve. You can even be a bitch and steal someone`s entire list if you wish. It is a competitive game. The overall winner will be the person with most hits in the year. The pool restarts as soon as a link from the the qualifying Obituary is posted verifying age of the deceased (by their own standard).No two players can have duplicate picks and the age given in the article will be accepted as soon as the article is published and pasted to this site. It has to be decisive at the time the news breaks. If the age they give is different to the year of birth you don`t get a hit unless it is amended before another death that meets the criteria of a hit. There is no limit to the number of players and you can enter the round at any point. You may even miss some rounds if they are quick. You do not need an admin to confirm your pick if you have a QO to post your next round team but you may be challenged if it in any way suspect.

Robin Windsor was one of the dancers when my daughter was a huge strictly fan (buying annuals and everything) after she went to Uni we stopped watching but did watch the most recent series. It is acceptable entertainment, largely inoffensive and compared to some of the hysterical ITV shows quite gentle.

The fact that from the obituary headline it was clear what his claim to fame was and he was being reported by multiple media sources it is firmly in the realm of a death that is significant but it might be outside a particular posters field of reference. I frequently skim over baseball and wrestling deaths as I have little interest in these areas apart from that short period where World Series Baseball players were included in the Scavenger Hunt bingo categories. The other important factor is shock deaths of younger celebrities are unlikely to be picks in major games so the impact on the site will be much lower. Gundrun Ure and June Spencer may not be household names but they are on a lot of teams here

I put my team in yesterday because it is rare for me to be ahead in one of these ties I thought I might as well get in early. Still might not be needed though

Does he still have all his marbles?

It is often a fact for yo-yo clubs that managers sacked for failing to keep them in the higher league would be a very good match for escaping the lower league the following season
