Update coming this weekend! Thanks for the patience 

Make that in two weekends...

 

First, thank you for the patience everyone! There have been four deaths since this pool started.

1. @Spade_Cooley got us started with Johnny Ruffo on November 10th

2. @time is next up with Brigit Forsyth on December 1st.

3. @diego scored with Glynis Johns on January 4th.

 

The other death, Richard McKenzie, also died on December 1st and is one of @justonecornetto subs. Maybe a rule in a future version will include two subs = 1 of the 3 deaths needed to win? Unsure...

 

Side-notes: I apologize for the format of the entry list and some of the other sections. I will work on it and hopefully roll out a better looking/working version by next round. I also need to retire the "List of the Missed", it is just too much work to track all these shows. Might try a different version of it in the future...

Update:

1. @Handrejka + @The Immortal got a hit with Michael Jayston on Feb. 5th

2. @Handrejka quickly followed with another hit on Feb. 27th with Michael Culver.

This means that we have our first win possibility with Arthur White and the TV Show, "The Darling Buds of May".

 

It should also be noted that @polar duck had a sub die on Feb. 28th with Jean Allison.
