Sean

Apologies .I have updated the scoreboard.

ITV does not count in this game though sadly.

Sorry for the mistake Grim Up North.You are also wrong as Wetton gives you a 5 point bonus putting you up to 78.

I reckon I wont make the second round.

It is fine to give name occupation and age at death if you ask me.Gets to the point straight away like news headlines.

BBC News Sky News CNN Fox News Yahoo Daily Mail Daily Mirror Daily Star The Sun The Guardian The Telegraph The Independent Digital Spy Associated Press The obituary is only valid if the person`s name is mentioned in a title and specifies that they have died. Also apologies for not updating last night.

Am I right in thinking all my picks fit the fame criteria for two points?

It wasn't his health that dissuaded them I suspect but more the sense that he wasn`t famous enough.I mean only the mirror have reported his death so far of the main stream media..the only arguable misses so far are Soares Armstrong-Jones Hollingworth Sarstedt Pomsel and Hurt.

I would say Downie Christie Bracknell King Michael and Booth are all dead certs this year.

Whilst it is true that chronic Leukemia could take a while to finish him off but he also has a nasty form of skin cancer and was reported to be weakening by the day in the summer.Also he was too frail to leave hospital for his wife`s funeral which was ominous.He is also 96 this year and could easily at that age and given his health he could easily get pneumonia or suffer other potentially fatal health complications.

Expect an update this evening.

I already nabbed Fenton sorry.

How many people do we need to pick for a team?

Poor girl.Life sure is cruel at times.

6/10 for me already

both have received QOs. Guessing only Hale counts for points though since her death was announced first? 1920 - Jerry Maren, Nanette Fabray 1921 - Clifton James, Francoise Gilot 1922 - George Blake, Penny Chenery 1923 - Sumner Redstone, Rhonda Fleming 1924 - Atai Bihari Vajpayee, Joyce Randolph 1925 - Mahathir Mohamad, June Lockhart 1926 - Michael Bond, Gillian Lynne 1927 - Pierre Henry, Gina Lollobrigida 1928 - Hans Kung, Queen Ratna of Nepal 1929 - Gaston Glock, Vera Miles Correct

Hurt puts me at 4/50

Biggest miss of the year.Pancreatic cancer is normally fatal.Although he had been in remission he pulled out of a play due to intestinal issues that made me suspicious.Had him down as 47 on my shadow list as I thought he would be too big a name to miss.

A very sad loss.Still cant believe he never won an Oscar.First thing I saw him in was Alien.Classic scene.He was also magnificent of Quentin Crisp.Easily biggest death of the year.One of those deaths that makes everyone go "awww no".I feared the worst when I saw the thread had been updated and was relieved that it was just his birthday.Biggest miss of 2017 so far?

I called this one right.Makes a change!

Yeah I haven`t seen it on the news tonight either.Only seen it online.She is still a household name in Britain even for people my age. Her death was the main story on NBC nightly news.Personally I think it should probably have been about Donald Trump's immigration announcement .She's obviously a big star in America ! Well I am English so I wasnt expecting it to head the evening news but she was still very well known here.Trumpp and Brexit were the main stories here tonight.
