I can't find any recent news on Gerald.  He looks and sounds hale and hearty here, but it's seven years ago, so who knows.

One of those actors like Colin Jeavons (also 90 in 2019) who just retired quietly and happily. Last I heard, both were well, but this was a few years ago now.

Game On. @Toast is not the only person to advance to two hits @ajlposh had Arte Johnson in Cannonball Run II. So now it is down to Gerald Harper vs Jamie Farr.

Easily done.

 

For instance, I forgot my three picks were the healthiest cunts in the world.

So @Joey Russ had Peter Fonda in Easy Rider and I had Sheila Steafel in The Dalek Invasion of Earth 2150AD. So there are now 7 players with one hit and two players with two hits. Technically until the QO arrives for Sheila then I am in the same position as @Prophet who is still waiting for Ambrose Schindler.

I would say I'm back in the game but Dick Van Dyke is going to live until he's 170.

Anna Quayle was brilliant in pretty much everything she appeared in. She was fab in Grange Hill. I did try to do a Smashing Time theme team a few years ago but sadly there weren't enough people left :( And now there's one less - farewell Charlotte Brillig, owner of swinging London boutique 'Too Much' .

Congrats to @The Quim Reaper who has his hit with Anna Quayle albeit rather delayed in notification. Eight team have one hit, two have two and one is in limbo lacking in an QO.

Any chance of updating the board on page 1  to show which picks have died?

Will do when I am not on on my phone. Bib.

 

Edit: Is now done!

 

Bold for dead, asterisks for hits and Italics for missing QO.

Shame. I had a film for the next round with Clive James to be picked as one of my three. Alas, I don't think there are three notable picks from that film now.

 

Thinking cap on for next time, once someone wins the inaugural round.

I had an interesting film in mind but then John McEnery died so I empathise.

Kirk Douglas was a hit for three players 

@Book Gunfight at the OK Corral 

@En Passant Paths of Glory

@Clorox Bleachman Is Paris Burning?

 

All of these were first hits so at the moment it is still a stand off between Gerald Harper and Jamie Farr

Didn't know Kirk was involved in the vogue scene.

And yet despite being at 0/3, Cat might still be favourite given candidates.

All I know is that whoever wins, it probably won't be me. I primarily picked my film for the subject matter (after finding nobody of note still alive from A Matter of Life and Death), and each of the remaining two actors could easily live another decade.

Grim Up North

The Longest Day

Leslie Phillips

Stuart Whitman

Michael Medwin

 

One of jackpot options on Pointless last night was cast of The Longest Day.

 

As it's over 18 months since I picked these three I was struggling more than I should have been but remembered Michael Medwin to impress Mrs GUN with an obscure pointless answer (although not one mentioned on the show - I had to show her on IMDB).

 

So although all three live on this pool has provided me a small crumb of success.
