    Here are a list of the deaths since the last update.Please let me know if any are missing.Have not included Al Baghdadi as his death has not been officially confirmed.I need to sort out a few queries with regards to Jiroemon Kimura`s score as I seem to have miscounted it.I also need to look it to some other entries that have queried my counting up of the points.

    I had Susannah Mushett Jones as a Joker. So I think I am owed points.

    Actors on twitter reporting the death of Black Beauty star William Lucas. He was in everything from The Prisoner to Last of the Summer Wine. He appeared in the Doctor Who story Frontios as Range after his friend Peter Arne, who was originally cast, was murdered before filming.

     

    A DDP Qualifying obit will appear at some point.

    This sent me scurrying to the SHBD masterlist but sadly no hit for William.

    I've done a search here and online and can't find anything regarding Valerie Lush, born Christmas Day 1918. She was Auntie Flo in And Mother Makes Three/Five. Anyone know if she's still with us?

     

    Death Notice from the Perthshire Advertiser indicates she sadly died on 14 May 2016 aged 97: http://www.bmdsonline.co.uk/perthshire-advertiser/obituary/bentley/47084017?s_source=tmsc_pe

     

    A disgrace there has been no coverage of her passing.

    Valerie gets her Guardian Obit: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/jul/19/valerie-lush-obituary

     

    She was my first reserve/substitute on my DDP team.

    Saw this yesterday and didn't make the connection until I saw the photo. Valerie was the guest star in an episode of The Ghosts of Motely Hall where she played the medium Emily Tiffin. It is worth seeking out for the very clever scene with Peter Sallis and Freddie Jones where they are both holding converstions with her but Peter Sallis is unaware the ghost is also present. They don't seem to make kids TV that clever and witty (and well cast) anymore.

    Thought she had died years ago.

    Do people think May can win the 2020 election?

     

    Speaking right now...who else is going to win it?

     

     

    After the last three weeks I am not making any predictions. We don't know what the political landscape will look like by 2020 and she still has to get there. She inherits Cameron's slender majority.

     

    Who do we think are going to get the top jobs in her cabinet?

     

    She does not seem to have a cabal of pals around her. Dominic Grieve might succeed her as Home Secretary. If she is feeling generous then Andrea Leadsom might get Business I suspect Philip Hammond will stay put and Gove might become Chancellor unless he is seen as Damaged goods now. I think she will take the opportunity to sack Hunt from Health and I hope that Whittingdale goes from Culture.

     

    Who can she afford to leave on the backbenchers?

    Ken Clarke - pissed or failing? Either way, that's a Wethertramp's face if I ever saw one.

    I saw that and thought one of two things either he is really ill or the green room was very well stocked.

     

     

    He was back on TV this morning saying what a wonderful woman Theresa May was and he looked in good health. I think he may have been a victim of hospitality on the previous occasion.

    Should be possible. Definitely more likely to die than Joe Perry, another possible candidate

     

    His big sister is still going strong.

     

    Would putting him on the list be a farce?

    No swaps by the way.Your list is final until the next round.

     

    So can I get this straight.

     

    If I pick 50 people, can I keep them for the duration? Or do they all get swapped around whenever someone dies?

     

    Whenever someone dies a new round is triggered.You can then change all your picks none of your picks or anything in between.Just let me know after someone conks it if you want to change anything or withdraw your team!

     

     

    I won't be making major changes to my team unless someone dies.

    Ok the likes on Toast`s post have spoken.Duplicates are allowed but you will only get a point for them whereas unique picks will give you two points!

     

    I think uniques should be worth 3 rather than two. like Football.

    I think I should have a go but my team will be very hamstrung by not being prompt.

     

    Hopefully there will be a new round in a day or two and you can swoop in with the best picks. Hopefully not mine.

    It is quite interesting that once you get to 1926 it does become easier. Those early years are challenging. Still got 8 picks for each though.

  18. Posted

    Mine:

     

    1920: Jim Leavelle, Franca Valeri

    1921: Sixto Duran Ballén, Valeria Valeri

    1922: Luis Echeverria, Micheline Presle

    1924: Virginio Rognoni, Ella Jenkins

    1925: Robert Venturi, Cara Williams

    1926: Roger Corman, Irene Papas

    1927: Neil Simon, Juliette Greco

    1928: William O'Malley, Line Renaud

    1929: Pierre Aubenque, Katherine Helmond.

     

    Good luck with those BBC obits

    I am loving this pool. I am Ok for the near future as long as I am in the first eight to enter. After that the names become an bit obit dodgy.
