Helen Fawkes got a full BBC article mentioning her illness and death.No way is she still alive.
-
The list at one point was not fixed at 50 but this makes it hard to compare years against each other.
-
50 I think is a decent enough number.I would say for next year less old people with no serious health issues and more picks like Errol Christie and Joost van der Westhuizen.

Political Discussions And Ranting Thread
Sean replied to Deathray's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
I reckon Corbyn is setting himself up to fail unwittingly.Brining back Abbot tying himself in knots over Brexit and talking about requistioning property I think shows that like May pre June 8th he thinks he is untouchable and can say or do anything. -

I can see June Brown lastibg a few years and Barbara Knox is still appearibg in corrie regularly and seems mobile still.She also looks a lot younger than 83.
-
Oh massive miss.World famous .one of the biggest singers of his generation and had one of the worst forms of cancer.
-
Nah biggest misses of all time are Patrick Moore Princess Margaret and Christopher Hitchens
-
Eileen Derbyshire Bill Treacher Leonard Fenton Sheila Mercier and Paula Tilbrook could all be good bets.

I think a fair few are as well as Prescott and Skinner.Douglas Hurd Roy Hattersley Norman Tebbit Michael Heseltine Nigel Lawson Sir John Nott Kenneth Baker Ken Clarke Glenda Jackson Shirley Williams Jill Knight Betty Boothroyd Bill Rodgers David Owen David Steel Neil Kinnock Tom King Norman Fowler and Bryan Gould all strike me as very Deathlisty. You can make the argument though that Edward du Cann or Michael Jopling are deathlisty as both where not just backbench MP`s but at shadow cabinet /cabinet level.They would easily get a telegraph and guardian obit even on a slow news day.Hence they have a legitimate claim to notability other than being old and their deaths are expected to be covered by UK media
-
Or maybe he doesnt want his wife to hear what has been going on
-
She has been returned as shadow home secretary.What is Corbyn thinking?
-
I picked Helen Fawkes.
-
Yes next round up will have a re cap of the rules for transfer day.No dead picks cant be swapped.
-
Prowse has had prostate cancer and memory loss but is one of the worst picks for sure.
-
Some more names I can see making an incredibly advanced age _William Roache _Buzz Aldrin _William Shatner Joan Collins _Barbara Knox _Des O'Connor _Lionel Blair _Amanda Barrie _Sheila Hancock _Mary Berry _Woody Allen _Rupert Murdoch _Bernard Cribbins _Noam Chonsky _Tippi Hedren _Robert Wagner _Shirley MaClaine _Warren Beatty _Clint Eastwood _Freddie Jones _Rosalynn Carter _Gloria Steinem _ Timothy West _Joan Bakewell _Eileen Atkins _Jean Marsh _Petula Clark _Annette Crosbie

It is between her the Queen and Honor Blackman.
-
I can see June Whitfield Angela Lansbury Queen Elizabeth II Betty White Dick van Dyke Carl Reiner Mel Brooks Honor Blackman and June Brown all making 100.
-
Just realised we have had no British MPs on the list since Healey.An MP no matter how obscure is deathlisty as none can be said to be famous solely for being likely to expire soon and even an insignificant backbench MP from years ago can be expected to be covered in the UK media.
-
I think it is a deserved honour .Olivia has always been an underated actress in my view.
-
Biggest misses have been Mario Soares Peter Sarstedt Peter Skellern Clare Hollingworth and Helmut Kohl.
-
He puts me on 11/50 on my shadow list.
-
First big miss of the year by the committee.Sad news but at least he isn`t suffering now.He looked very frail in his final years.
-
It is funny growing up how so many deathlisty names I first heard of on family guy.
