So has the 2020 list been chosen ?

There is also Ysanne Churchman (94) Phil's first wife Grace who famously perished in a fire on the night ITV launched.

Looks like the committee have already made their list.Wonder if they will reopen it if someone like Donald Trump or Boris Johnson announce they have stage 4 cancer and months to live.

Recurrent pancreatic cancer .He is screwed.

Yeah I don't think either will make 2021

And that is why I should have waited until New Year's Eve to submit my DDP entry. He is famous enough for the Deathlist.His death will make the main news bulletins. The committee have chosen quite a few US Politicians over the years so I reckon Lewis will get picked.

Yeah I would.

I am known at parties to be a bore for my predictable anecdote that Clarissa Eden widow of Anthony Eden still draws breath.

Max Von Sydow is 100 % a deathlist worthy name.

2020 Prince Philip 2021 Jimmy Carter 2022 Pope Benedict 2023 Desmond Tutu 2024 Mikhail Gorbachev 2025 Dalai Lama 2026 Aung Sang Suu Kyi 2027: Bill Clinton 2028:Morgan Freeman 2029:Hilary Clinton

Yeah but Gene's dementia was not known and Debbie wasn't exactly known to be in poor health before Carrie died and she had a massive stroke the next day (which I predicted).

Well they were all on my radar but most are now worthless as are worth so few points.

Yeah but what Toast is saying is most of those big names such as Carrie Fisher Victoria Wood Prince David Bowie Alan Rickman Victoria Wood Debbie Reynolds Gene Wilder Terry Wogan Paul Daniels Denise Robertson Ronnie Corbett and George Michael were not names we expected to go when they did.I mean most of these names were not seriously on anyone's radar when they died.

I agree.When compiling my DDP entry there are loads of names that are unlikely to make 2021 and that is just those on deadpoolers radars.

I am destined to fail as I dropped the purely famous for being ill types on my shortlist.It just didn't feel right or in the spirit of the game.My picks have a smaller age range than before the youngest being in their 40s and the oldest is in their 70s.

Him too but not as much as the others

Leslie Phillips Jill Gascoine and Nicholas Parsons need to be brought back. Alex Trebek Terry Jones Roger Scruton George Alagiah Bill Turnbull and Genesis P-Orridge are also must have new names.

Ding dong.

Teams sent in.Main team and the usual two theme teams in.

Have you been watching ITV 3 ?

Agonising over my DDP shortlist.Down to 25 names but have hit a brick wall about who to drop.

Team sent

1)Peter Tobin 2)Leon Spinks 3)David Gulpilil 4)Genesis P-Orridge 5)Tom Smith 6)Frankie Banali 7)Alex Trebek 8)Jana Bennett 9)Bernard Tapie 10)Olivia Newton John Subs: 1)Mark Gastineau 2)Bill Turnbull

Well she has had terminal cancer for a couple of years so the honours committee like us all probably figured that she is likely to go sooner or later and thought they don't want to wait until it is too late.

Yes he looks bad but about average for a 98 year old.
