I hope you are keeping up - this January is the worst since 2016!

 

It's going to be a busy time for you with 12 days left in the month!

I wonder what the record is for football hits in a week. We have had three this week.

So do I! I've got all the big hitters (Lynch, Law, Plowright etc) but might have missed some of the lesser-known names, so I'm hoping they're in this thread (or failing that, someone complains that I've missed their obscure Latvian folk singer who came 39th in Eurovision once and got a yahoo mention).

All the very best to you! Me, I am floundering about in the dark, wondering who might have been picked or indeed dropped.

 

I would believe Christopher Benjamin for example would have been picked, can't find a QO so far.

 

Time for a sausage sandwich (no euphemism) with brown sauce (no euphemism) and a break from my screen.

The rules say the Radio Times is a Qualifying Source and he has coverage there. https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/christopher-benjamin-doctor-who-dead-newsupdate/

Benjamin is on my Dr Who theme team and has a qo due to the Radio Times, a qo brought in after Latham Gate which has rarely been needed. Love it when one of my own decisions helps me years later.

Cheers, that's someone who might well have been overlooked.

A cursory check suggests that last year we had 16 hits by the end of the 19th, and 31 hits for the month of January.

Hit number 4 for my theme team and one of my most lingering personal survivors. Picked on my main team upon my 2022 return, retained for 2023 amd then moved to theme team for 2024 and 2025.

There was a year, 2021?, when there were not enough cancer names so I filled up my teams with dementia people. Gordon McQueen, Jimmy Calderwood, Nobby Stiles and more...

The only one alive left from the bunch is, of course, the most popular of all these names, Nigel Starmer-Smith.
