    What about Anders Breivik?

     

    He might end up killing himself in prison...

     

    I don't think so. I think he will want to hang around in prison being a reminder to the whole nation.

     

    Suicide I don't think will fit in with his narrative.

     

    However, being attacked and killed by another inmate probably would.

     

    This is such a hard situation for the Norwegian authorities.

    Sweepstake time?

     

    I am going for 28 April (Saturday). Around about lunchtime. This will give everyone something to put in the Sunday papers and get the CDs into the shops for Monday morning

    From that website I glean that 45 people born in the 19th century are still with us. After all, those born in 1900 were also born in the 19th century, for the same reason that the 21st century began on 1 January 2001: there was no year 0.

    We may as well name & shame them, for all the fruit pickers out there. In a jingoistic spirit, I'll have my fiver on Grace Jones to beat the Japs and the Yanks and take a surprise gold in 2017. All that nightclubbing will keep her fit and healthy.

    Between them these people represent over 5000 years of life and experience.

    Are all of these verifiable?

    William Russell is still lending his talents to Doctor Who Audiobooks. On my original lists there were some notes but I struggled with the formatting and had to lose them.

     

    Thanks for the summary msc.

     

    Wendy Padbury was married to Melvyn Hayes from "It ain't half hot Mum"

    As you will see most are still with us but there were two deaths in 2011.

     

    I know this forum is awash with Doctor Who fans so please don't try and get into a canonical debate about who is and who isn't considered as a genuine companion and just see if there are any names here you might be thinking of for 2013.

     

    Anyone who says Bonnie Langford automatically - It's just wishful thinking.

     

    Enjoy

    Begn watching 'A Night to Remember' either side of the last episode of ITVs Titanic yesterday and the question I had was why did ITV even bother. Four episodes of pretentious, cliched, class angst twaddle even with what on the surface (whoops) looked like a good cast. Whereas ANTR oozed class and an understanding of story telling.

     

    I'm not even going to bother with the metaphors. It would just be too easy.

    I am a bit concerned that Clive Dunn and the DeathList are so intertwined that should he ever leave us the knock on effect would devastate the DeathList and it too would cease to be!!!

    Is this really in bad taste? My take on this is we are discussing the probability of death and survival based on available evidence. We are not actively willing individuals to die (with a few notable exceptions!) but taking a fair guess at those that will.

     

    My interest was initially sparked a few years ago when the were a number of deaths of people you would not expect; Jeremy Beadle, Heath Ledger and Mark Speight. So wildcards are good keep them coming!

     

    And whatever else surely all the famous icons on everbody's lists would at least want their passing to be marked!

    My sources tell me that Fidel Castro is gravely ill and has been confined to bed for the past several weeks. There could be good news for deathlist any day now!

     

    If he dies this year i think it will be biggest death of 2012 not many can top him apart from obama or one of the beatles or beiber .

     

    I think Prince Philip would get more global coverage than Fidel.

     

    I left him out of the game I run because of verification issues - maybe that was a mistake.

    I am going to suggest Rodney Bewes.

     

    A few weeks back there was an episode of Masterchef where the contestents made afternoon tea for some veterens of TV comedy. There were a number of people who had featured on this site such as Frank Thornton as well as Nicholas Smith (Mr Rumbold), Lynda Baron, Wendy Craig and Jeffrey Holland but it took me several minutes to recognise Rodney Bewes and even my wife commented that she expected to hear of his death shortly.

     

    Bearing in mind I think the series was filmed at the end of last year I am not even sure if he will make 2013.

     

    I tried to add a photo but I am having to post as a guest as my account has not yet been validated.

     

    I have already made this comment in the Basil Brush thread but thought it was a bit obscure!
