I think both Phil & Liz should be on the list from next year onwards, it would be very vexing if either of them were to snuff it and be absent.

I suspect that's how it will end up playing out. However I also feel the same but obviously to a lesser extent about the Queen's ex brother in law former hubby of Princess Margaret -Lord Snowden. He's 86 and doesn't seem to be great condition when you research it.

 

I think he's an obvious contender especially given how famous he used to be in the 1960s and 70s and would be a real "shame"deathlist wise if he was absent and died too.

 

Although obviously we have to draw the line somewhere as we don't want the deathlist to become over royal!

A fair question, why do people want Gazza and MTM on deathlist??

Ginger Baker? That old c*** will outlive everyone out of pure spite. You may as well just pick any 60s/70s rocker at random, hellraiser or otherwise, as they're all at an age where they're going to start dropping fast. Surprising how many of the old punks are still with us, thinking about it. They're beginning to get on a bit too these days.

 

Leah Bracknell is a must, as everyone has already said. Still don't think Charles Aznavour is going anywhere yet.

 

I get the feeling someone much much loved is going to go in 2017 - Bruce Forsyth seems most likely but take your pick of Tom Baker, Brian Blessed, Leslie Phillips and Miriam Margoyles. Not so much that any of them (except Baker) have been ill recently, just that they're much loved characters and good chat show fodder who we'll miss when they go.

Gazza - he's going to go young(ish) but could hang around years yet. I'd wait for the liver transplant and inevitable slide back onto the booze before considering him seriously.

 

MTM - because National Enquirer has said she's dying for the last six or so years. Clearly ailing but how much so we won't really know until she goes,

 

I'm keeping MTM on my list, mainly in the hope of granting her eternal life...

According to David Collings, Tom Baker is quite frail these days, sadly.

 

Much loved? I keep getting the gut feeling about David Attenborough, I suppose he'd count in the national treasures category.

Gazza is a raging alcoholic who is on a path of self-destruction and has been for many years.Could easily have a heart attack stroke or drug/alcohol overdose or an accident at any time really.

 

ary Tyler Moore has severe diabetes which has damaged her eyesight severely and caused other complications.Previously had a benign brain tumour removed and has not been seen in public for nearly four years now.

The former PM and President of Portugal Mario Soares is in a deep comma and critically ill.The prognosis is said to be bleak.He's bound to be an early hit in 2017 if he hangs on that far.Be mad not to have him on the list !

I see no one has Trump on their list. 70s, stressful new job, likely to attract assassins.

Pretty solid list you got there, will have significant overlap with my own personal 2017 list for sure.

No one can get near him realistically. Mind you, if he continues pissing off the CIA...

Quite, and he is basing himself in Trump Tower, which presumably is less secure than the White House.

He said "a recent quiz". Presumably it took place before Zsa Zsa departed.

He's on my list, has been, for a few years. ^_^
