He finally caved in.
-
Gone with Biggs but was close run with Mandela
-
Considering how obnoxious he is making himself is anyone willing to take a stab at Owen Paterson (b.1956) for next year? Murdered in a revenge attack by TB infected badgers.

After I wrote the above, I heard some rumours today that Marco Polo is amongst those found as well!Best 50th Birthday present ever
No clues as to which ones yet but hopefully some Patrick Troughton ones as there are precious few of these.
Last time it was Galaxy 4 and the Underwater Menace both of which are not considered missing masterpieces.
I hope it is the Abominable Snowman.
I am the opposite as I am hoping for at least some Hartnell historicals to be amongst the recoveries. The Massacre is my holy grail but I would be delighted with Marco Polo.
You might be in luck as I heard one rumour suggest the Crusdade was amongst the 'haul'.
The latest news is that Deborah Watling (who played Victoria the Victorian) and Frazer Hines (who played Jamie) will be at the BBC press conference. The news came from Watling's own official website.
And timely for those who are researching next year DDP teams to see if Frazer Hines looks rough enough for inclusion.

I wonder what odds one would get on Charles to pop his clogs before his old dear?
I know genetically he's built to last with a proven pedigree, but surely ONE of these fuckers has to catch something nasty at some point?
He did - its called Camilla.

He's out and about again being shown round a day care centre for the elderly.
Maybe Charles thought it would be a good idea.

I wanna change my name to just Predictor. Thanks in advance!
Geez, thanks for that. Now everybody's gonna think of pregnancy tests whenever they see me...
Though if you turn blue it is not good news!

Question for anyone in the know...
109 missing shows...
Were any of those programmes recorded (at least) in sound by viewers? And now available to listen to?
I ask, because I have a number of old (1960's) real-to-real tapes and you never know if it contains a Jem or two.
Oh...
Having just looked at a very good wiki page about the missing shows, it is the case that all audio does exist and a few reconstructions projects have been undertaken.
Strikes me that the BBC need to produce Pixar type animation and release a few films of this material.
There have been a couple of animation experiments - The DVD release of The Invasion features two (out of eight) animated episodes but the quality of the animation is not PIXAR standard by any means.

Sir Christopher to receive BFI award
Doesn't say when the ceremony is but I hope it is soon judging by the accompanying picture.
If we had put him on the list we could have a trio of Lees : Harper, Stan and Christopher. Maybe next year.
-
When this all comes to a conclusion are we going to have to endure a "Cry in the Dark" like movie adaptation.
Any casting suggestions?
-
On that evidence those of us with her in the squad for 2013 shouldn't give up hope.

Publisher George Weidenfeld (b 1919) has been mentioned in a couple of places in the past week, First there was a profile of him on the Radio 4 series about publishers and he also spoke up in the Ed Miliband vs Daily Mail spat, because he was Ralph Miliband's publisher. He also published Lolita!
With that tasty Holocaust (fleeing) survivor angle too. Nailed-on points, even on a busy news day.
MPC do you see all elderly celebs as walking obituries waiting to happen?

If he is a temp eventually you or he will move on to pastures new. If it is him - goodriddence, if it is you - you will have the opportunity to think that he is still stuck in that job whereas you have moved on.
If you work together for any length of time you will gain an insight into his pathetic life and why he insults people he doesn't know in a vain attempt to impress his peers who all think he is a knob.
Congrats on the job, hope it all works out.

Whilst on the subject of Reality TV I had the misfortune to see about 1/2 hour of Geordie Shore (I was at my sister-in-laws). Is this a real reflection of the denizens of Newcastle?
If it is then I would suggest "We take off and nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be sure"
-
He's showing no signs of slowing down and has managed to keep out of hospital, perhaps we should omit him from the list next year.
No No No!
OK I accept he will probably not go this year now but I think like Thatcher he needs to be on the list otherwise we will be kicking ourselves when he does go.
-
No Bruce on this weeks SCD.
Flu. I predict this will be his last year presenting but don't put him on the list till 2016.

>.>Author Tom Clancy has died, the other day, I'm not sure if it was mentioned in here, yet anywhere, tho.
Yes! It's in the authors thread mentioned yesterday.
<.<
Yeah, I saw that, after I posted. :/ I was gonna post it, yesterday, but, for some reason, my comp wouldn't load this site. :/
Definitely one of the biggest deaths in a while and maybe of the year depends on how the rest of the year goes. I can't think of a more famous author to die since michael crichton.
A very geographical opinion. In the UK James Herbert and Iain Banks were pretty big news.

OK even the death of Tom Clancy is not enough to break the boredom and so I present another list.
This time it is presenters of WatO (or The World at One for those peasents who don't listen to Radio 4.
For a programme that began in 1965 it only has six surviving main presenters
William Davis (b.1933)
Brian Widlake (?)
David Jessell (?)
James Naughie (b.1951)
Martha Kearney (b 1957)
Shaun Ley (b.1969)
All would expect a BBC obit but surprised I couldn't find more detail on Jessell.

Today in 1968 French artist and second-rate chess player Marcel Duchamp died, aged 81.
His best known work:

If jack nicholson dies only person alive to have played the joker will be mark hamill , Seems weird for such a iconic character .
Frank Welker (1980s cartoon series), Larry Stotch (1960s cartoon series) Greg Eagles (Batman of the Future), Kevin Michael Richardson (2000s Batman cartoon).
Yes I do hate myself for looking that up.
I looked at this list and thought "Why do I know the name Frank Welker?" and so went off to do the obligatory wiki search where I discovered that he provided the voice of Freddie for Scooby Doo but I recognised the name because he was Abu in Aladdin. One of the better Disney "Classics".

The hiatus was kept to below 100 days and looking at the trend line I still think we can make it to12 this year.
Going to change my mind now and say Biggs, Mandela and Lynne.
