Guest welshman Posted January 30, 2012 Hmmm, the KOS freesheet group have their headquarters just down the road from the current abode of a certain Welsh person, any connection, and - if so - can we take the Duke of Edinburgh prediction as a given for next year's top 50? errr no and no :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,366 Posted April 16, 2012 Deathlist got a mention in today's New York Times, in an excellent article about obituaries and deadpooling: http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/16/the-science-of-obituaries-dead-pools-obits-in-the-can-and-more/# 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,648 Posted May 9, 2012 I haven't actually read it yet, but there's an interview with Eddie Mair in this weeks Radio Times where he talks about using Death List. The DL, to which Eddie confesses to be "strangely drawn", gets a paragraph in a page-long meditation on the ups and downs of celebrity death. He's a bit concerned at 2010's current poor performance, but I'd say that, on the whole, he's a fan. I wonder if he's an active member or just a lurking guest. And no, I don't (and didn't) buy the Radio Times. Thanks, WH Smith. I shall make the effort to go to WH Smiths today to read (not buy) the RT. I like Eddie, he's a breath of fresh air on PM on Radio4 in the evening, and I enjoy my drive home with his news programme. For those who are unfamiliar with said personage: Radio 4, IMO, is the natural station of choice for discerning Deathlisters. As well as Eddie they offer us a host of programming that seems just made for people who obsess about Celebrity (in its widest and purist form) Death. Obviously there is their weekly round up of stiffs in The Last Word (Sunday 8.30pm repeated Friday 4pm) but there are also a host of programmes that might inspire new entries to the list and the best of these is probably The Reunion with Sue McGregor who collects people together who have an insight into a major political or social event and naturally enought many of these are extremely elderly. There is also the entire cast of the Archers (think Last of the Summer Wine only less movement) and anyone who is a guest on Desert Island Discs must be a candidate.

Bibliogryphon 9,648 Posted October 23, 2012 Wasn't sure where to put this one but it could be significant. I think the announcement had to wait until the end of Frankie Boyle's libel action in case they had to drop him. I understand that Channel 5 (in the UK) have commissioned a company called 104 Productions to make a 13 part series which is provisionally titled Last Orders which is intended to be an irreverent obituary show. It will air monthly during 2013 but there will be a launch show in December 2012 where viewers will be invited to submit a list of celebrities who may well die during the year (sound familiar?). The series will be hour long episodes probably aimed at late Saturday nights hosted by Frankie Boyle and Holly Willoughby. No more details as yet. Should we sue or welcome them with open arms?

OK OK There is not a shred of truth in this post but I kept being annoyed by the presence of HW on everyshow without any evidence of talent or charisma and began to think what I would like her to present. When I did get round to writing the post I did think she let the authenticity down but I could not think of a suitable replacement. I briefly thought of Peaches Geldof but considering what happened to her mother I thought it in poor taste. I hope it is to my credit that I cannot readily bring to mind talentless media hungry bimbos from the depths of ITV. I hope you at least enjoyed the thought and would really like to watch the show - in your imagination Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted October 25, 2012 Hold on a minute so what i have gathered from the last couple of posts I have read (and tell me if im wrong btw) is that there is going to be a show or a show is in the works that predicts celebrities deaths and it will be presented by holly Willoughby ? That is either the biggest wind up ever or its so unbelievable it just might be true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted October 28, 2012 Re the welcome/sue option trailed above. We'd have no option but to welcome. You can't legally copyright an idea (only the interpretation and realisation of an idea) and DL wasn't exactly the first place online or anywhere in public to discuss impending celebrity death.
