Book 3,531 Posted December 26, 2021 Oh dear The DL 2022 has lost so many potential candidates (new or returnee) in the last few weeks - Anthony Sher, Ray Illingworth, James Brokenshire, Alan Igglesden, F.W. de Klerk and now Desmond Tutu. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonderful 478 Posted December 26, 2021 #17 for me. Short of last year's 20, however. But hey, there's still time! In all seriousness, I thought he would go last year. Almost saw 2022. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted December 26, 2021 A hit on my DDP - I think my 7th this year. Also my 13th hit on the shadow list making it my best year since 2013. Bizarrely I hadn't put him on either my DDP or shadow list for 2022. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bizarrely I hadn't put him on either my DDP or shadow list for 2022. It's my third year choosing Tutu (out of four years). I haven't sorted out next years list but he's currently at #59 on my list and I had him marked as "no real reason to actually die" so I don't think he would have made the cut. But he's on my 2021 list and that's all that matters 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiesa52 132 Posted December 27, 2021 I was very surprised that he wasn't on this year's list- and now I will be taking him off my list for 2022! A great man who made a real difference, sorry to see him go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
