CaptainChorizo 1,977 Posted December 30, 2016 Theoretical question, if tomorrow by some insane fluke results in the death of every pick entered for the DDP before midnight, what would happen to the 2017 DDP? Considering how geographically spread out the picks are it would probably also mean the death of every entrant and the host unless they were on vacation in like The Marshall Islands and that was the 1 place on earth not effected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Switch 141 Posted December 31, 2016 Just sent in my main team and a theme team based on the Kennedys. Good luck everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,437 Posted December 31, 2016 Right, instead of sitting here changing the team every few hours, it's been sent in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted December 31, 2016 Got my confirmation email for DDP team and theme team. Quite happy with my DDP team though I was back and forth on whether to include Leah bracknell and Helen Fawkes. Think I might have one or two unique picks too. Confident I at least have one.

msc 18,437 Posted December 31, 2016 Down to the final 23, meaning Nobby Stiles and a cancer mum got cut out. Now for the final difficult decisions. Genuinely, just pick the first 20 from that list on gut feeling, make the other 3 subs and send it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,437 Posted December 31, 2016 Teams I'll be watching out for in 2017, the pre-squad announcement contenders if you will: Davey's Showbiz Pals/Living End/Thomas Jefferson Survives - fairly obvious Heading Nowhere - to see if they can build on this (what looks to be, as of 2pm Hogmanay) near miss. The Love Boat - who I suspect will be far improved in 2017. Rad Guy's To Kill a Gabor Sister (or name changed) and Joey Russ's Day in the Death - Not likely to win, but newish teams bouyant about their chances... Golden Slumbers - Bert made a record score in 2016 with nae research after all... Cancel My Appointments - I think Sir Creep will be much closer to the top in 2017. The Grey Horde - If they don't show up... Octopus of Odstock - Well, you never know... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,129 Posted December 31, 2016 I don't expect to do very well as my preparation is not sufficiently methodical, and I usually forget to include some odds-on certainties. Plus I am averse to using "only famous because of illness" types. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted December 31, 2016 Some might class this as a teeny weeny bit cheaty but seen as my DDP teams are all in and off from a few days ago, this is an alternative team I'd have sent in if i sent it today, I'm going to track the progress of both teams points wise of the course of the year: Leah Bracknell (joker) Ivan Klavsnic Nobby Stiles Errol Christie John Wetton Gordon Banks Mario Soares (5 points) Emma Morano Bruce Forsyth Steve Sumner David Attenborough Gord Downie Clive James Kieth Richards Prunella Scales Jimmy Snuka Sumner Redstone Val Kilmer Daisy Berkowitz Stefan Karl Stefanson Luke Halpin Gerald Kaufman Sara Coward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
