Sean

I think she probably is.The Archers is such a part of her life having been in it for so long and the fact her husband is in it.Plus it isn't as taxing as other soaps in terms of physicality and time spent recording.

And has had it for four years.Five year survival is less than 30% .

Ah the social awkwardness where you can't explain anything to people not in the know that comes from dead pooling.

A terrible year for Eastenders deaths.

Bloody hell.It's carnage today.

Can I have Ysanne Churchman as my third substitute please?

Starmer _Smith

I wonder if when hew was having his pacemaker done the surgeon made the knife joke.

Sociologist Ken Plummer known for his work on humanism and human sexuality has died at 76 according to the University of Essex.Also wrote a number of sociology textbooks.Came under scrutiny nearly a decade ago when it was revealed he was a member of the Paedophile Information Exchange.Plummer claimed this was for research but wrote some highly suspicious things on the subject of paedophilia and sexual assaults.

Decent list.All will get a BBC article or obituary.

Has had it for four years now so definitely one to consider.

She also has been confined to a wheelchair for many years.I believe that was due to physical problems.Good shout as she has had dementia for years which had already progressed to the point where she was unaware of the Kavanaugh hearings in 2018.

Heard the name but no idea who he is.

He has aphasia and had a very painful to witness on-screen decline before he was retired earlier this year as his films were being ridiculed and the rumours became too substantial to deny.

Only those 3 ,Hattersley and Bill Rodgers still going from that original list.

All are now mainstays of my no more expenses theme team and 3 with the exception of Skinner have been on it since I started it in 2016.

Both are now in their 91st year as have both already turned 90.

Lawson

He looks better than he has for the last 2 _3 years :. He is looking quite old which he is but still sharp and isn't looking any thinner older of frailer than before if anything he looks less frail than he did in 2020.

Nope she had one with Allman too

Just a thought.As you say the fame level between her and Gates Sr appears similar.

I also wonder if the commitee might pick Georgia Holt under the Bill Gates Sr precedent I.e if an uber famous person has a parent with a public profile large enough to argue they are also somewhat notable in their own right that suffices. Another comparison in the form of siblings is Dai and Roddy Llewellyn.Dai had a profile but would he have been picked without Roddy shagging Margaret?No.
