So when Sydney Samuelson is added, stuck on 269 hits with a fortnight or so to go. SPOTY is next week so we should mop up another 2 I'd say for sure.

 

Cold snap about to end, will the relatively milder weather save the body count from increasing?

I'm  90% sure the DDP will reach or exceed 275.

There was some confusion online when Henry Woolf died if it was Gabriel, so on finding him unpicked last year he had to go on a team. One of those instantly recognisable TV voices.

 

Jane Sherwin I went to such odds to find her year of birth (1932) last year it felt a shame to put that to waste. June Bland one of those "still alive" names - only 91 this year but always looked older in her career. She also left acting to teach it. She's in Earthshock alongside David "camp Cyberman" Banks, Matthew "Young Willz's first crush" Waterhouse and a hard nosed space commander played by, err, Beryl Reid!  As for Mary Peach, BAFTA nominations, shagged Patrick Troughton, nearly an Avenger - quite a life!

And you still got it wrong.

I wonder if we will get a full page of Qualifying Obits like this tomorrow.

Peter Butler gets the QO for the DDP - and even a photo.

But nothing for Ronnie Hellstrom or Maryan Wisniewski

[Ulitzer95 12,654]

How many are we short of the record now?

[gcreptile 10,979]

Update in the making, at 271 hits now. That's 8 short of the record.

 

There's also no obit for Tony Claypole, nor for Rugby player and DDP pick Asuquo "Zoom" Ema.

[Sean 6,337]

It will get broken 10 days to go and quite a few names on there circling the drainage Olympic levels plus the deaths of those we don't know are coming but statistically are .Always a bad time of year for deaths.

[gcreptile 10,979]

Next score update on the 27th. No updates during Christmas.

George Cohen’s death puts us at 272 I think now.

Thought it would be interesting to look at the oldest entries in the DDP this year. Strangely enough, there are exactly 101 centenarian entries as of 18 Jan 2022 (with Ray Anthony the next to join the club on 20 Jan), but that's if we exclude Apilado and Baker Miracle, who were already confirmed to be deceased before the starting line.

I'll update this only once – at the end of the year – to see how many scored in the end.

Something that stands out this year is that the # of world's oldest type picks is low (just the top two). I remember years back people used to pick loads of the supercentenarians off of the top 100 list on Wiki. If we ignore Fauja Singh and Virginia McLaurin, there are no longevity myth picks either (i.e. world's "oldest" man at 124 from village in India type picks). Have the new rules disallowed such names or are people just getting smarter with their picks over time?

Updated. Just under 50% died (46 in total, though 3 were already dead, and 2 more are likely already deceased).

[Captain Hemlock 745]

Kathy Whitworth brings us to 273 I believe.

Also marks a lead change in the Theme Team League with under a week to go...

[Pedro67 232]

Pele for 274 then. 

[Spade_Cooley 9,540]

And I believe this means the 2022 David Quantick's Showbiz Pals break the record for the top-scoring DDP season.

[Sly Ronnie 886]

Table is already updated. I think that's what they call coup de grace.

[gcreptile 10,979]

We've reached the 275 hits of last year, with slightly fewer teams. While the record is still 4 hits away, we haven't lost any firepower. The Pritzker Prize winning architect "should" get a QO, but it may come too late. I kind of have the feeling that at least one shortlister still has to go. So it goes down to the wire.

Nope, she's for List of the Missed, last picked in 2016.

 

Edit - should have checked the Rag Traders thread first!  @YoungWillz got there first.

Hey, needs qualified here as well.

 

@Evil Grimace, you did the right thing, the previous poster didn't check the DDP so was mistaken to post here. 

[WEP 894]

QO for Arata Isozaki:

And as I see, he is already added: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2022/celebs_I.html#isozaka022

Anyone want to check in on Bill Steel?

[gcreptile 10,979]

Congratulations, Spade, very well done!

 

16 hits, not quite the 17 hits of a couple of years ago, but now unquestionably a points record.
