Sounds like the food critic should have been a bit more critical of Big Tobacco... Well he did quit 15 years ago and probably found it harder to give up smoking being a recovering alcoholic.I wonder if he will start drinking again .I would.Apparently the chemo has shrunk some of the tumours and with only 42 days to go he should still be around then.The odds of him surviving 2017 are very slim though.Wonder if he will be number 1 next year.

Thought he is famous enough for his own thread.The Sunday Times food critic A A Gill has been diagnosed with a smoking related cancer in his lungs that has now spread to his spine and other areas of his body.Very well known public figure in the UK and certainly falls into the criteria of incclusion on the Death List.

He will make the DL and Drop 40 if he lasts that long!

Can I replace Esterhazy with Janice Dickinson and Burns with Don Warrington? Going into the 4th round can I replace Pam Dawber with AA Gill or do I have to wait for one of my team to die before replacing? No no you can change your team once a new round has been entered.A A Gill looks a good pick.

Because he was a music manager and is a household name as are a few of the Jacksons.

Has anyone got A A Gill out of interest?

It is very very bad.

Aye, amazed she got mentioned on BBC Radio Four this morning! I consider myself pretty well versed on music yet I only ever heard of her on this site.

I think sadly Daniella Westbrook would be a good edition next year.Just saw her her this morning interview and she looks and sounds like death warmed up.

The guardian and the mail are covering Jones death.Thats the second baby boomer to bite the dust.

I am guessing everyone but me picked Sharon Jones?

You have ot Tovar.Aichlinger can be replaced after she has been dead for 3 months if a QO isn`t found.

Didn`t Caroline feature in scenes with both Princess Margaret and the Duchess of Cornwall?

Is she too obscure for the Death List? Yes. I assumed she would be.I did know the name and have heard her on the Archers and knew she was a major character who runs Grey Gables but she has not been in anything else.I wonder whether any of the Archers cast would qualify by Death List standards.Probably not but they do have the DDP advantage of being a dead cert for an obit.

Is she too obscure for the Death List?I mean she isnt a household name but has a 100% chance of getting a BBC obit.

Who is John Smith?Don't know but I think he died.I'm sure I saw his obit on Wikipedia !I don't think he's dead. Looking at the year, I'm assuming it's the Welsh politician Yep found him.Cheers JoeyRuss

Just a reminder the game is still open for new entries.Also Morbidkid please sort out your list.

Who is John Smith?

Please replace those on your baby boomer list so that your team is valid. ?

Have you found a QO for your two picks?

Did anyone have Ruth Gruber?

Wilford Brimley has diabeetus!

Norman Lloyd is in great shape but at 102 he could easily go next year.Liz Dawn I think is a must have for next year. Still think Leah Bracknell needs to be on next years list and Tony Booth.
