Without double checking, I believe this year's Drop 40 becomes the most successful iteration?

I think it probably is and we need a new leader of the pack!

 

Nice of her to go relatively early in the nomination period too. That would have been a nightmare replacing her 150 or so times if she went on December 31st.

 

Think there'll be an update tomorrow, seems the right time...

This was a plot by King Michael I to get in the drop 40 in 2017. Zsa Zsa was murdered

So he hired another drop 40 hopeful, Errol Christie, to do the job.

Two of Michael's daughters are currently single. Can't wait for Prinz von Ahole to marry into the Romanian royal family and update us on his new father-in-law every three days.

Although going by my Liverpool supporting pals elsewhere, not sure if you'll still rate that decision - it's apparently been dire.

Best way to win a derby, err, I'd imagine - we don't get much practice at that, being Thistle!

Let's thumb through the rules, shall we?

 

Video links are only accepted if the strapline mentions the celebs passing

 

Strapline says:

 

Jamie is joined by tenor Nicholas Sharratt from Scottish Opera's production of The Mikado. Singer and actress Barbara Dickson chooses her My Music, and there's a rarity from the late Japanese composer Isao Tomita.

 

 

Yep, that'll do!

So does that mean the Programmes section is deemed acceptable for QOs? IIRC Kitty Kallen had her death mentioned under similar circumstances to Tomita, in the strapline of a BBC Programme, though it was decided against at the time.
