[The Old Crem 3,608]

Yeah...I thought the same .

Still many hours left in the day for more....

[msc 18,479]

I'm pretty sure the record is held by 30th July 2007, when 4 DDP hits for that day were announced: Ingmar Bergman, Micheangelol Antonioni, Ayatollah Meshkini and Bill Walsh were all announced during the day, as well as the deaths of Phil Drabble and Mike Reid which were announced on that day iirc despite being from the day before. Also not picked but Tam McGraw (notorious gangster) and Tom Snyder also were announced that day. There was 5 or 6 obits on the BBC front page alone.

 

PS Actor John Normington died on the 26th July but was announced 3 or 4 days later, I forget the exact day after 13 odd years. Anyhow, July 2007 was quite a big deadpooling month.

The only one of that day I remember is Mike Reid which had been announced overnight.

I didn't have internet at the time bar glances at the future Mrs msc's laptop. My memory is Reid was announced by the Beeb at the same time as Bergman.

 

NBC news from the day is pretty much obit, obit, obit (video linked below):

I didn't know who Bergman was in 2007 so his death would have passed me by. Reid was 100% in the morning I remember my parents telling me as i got up (through why i was up at 7 am being it was the summer holiday I don't know.)

I remember when he and Arthur Miller were the "they're still alive, you know" legendary names from another era almost consigned to history. Then it was Norman Wisdom. Back in the 90s it was Katharine Hepburn and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Time catches up on all.

And now it's.... Stephanie Cole?

Of course, I forget the exact phrasing but if you take Diana Trent's line about spending her 60th covering the Cambodian civil war, that character is STILL older than Stephanie Cole in 2020...

[gcreptile 10,979]

Johnny Harris would be hit no. 99.... Are we going to hit 100 today?

 

We are almost at a 1-hit-per-day rate. 30/31 in January. 27/29 in February. 28/31 in March and 14/13 (!) in April.

[msc 18,479]

[Sir Creep 7,070]

FTR actor Brian Dennehy wasn't chosen for DDP this year but I know as a fact he was on my Life of Brian theme team a couple years back, so when QO arrives he can go straight to List Of The Missed.

Oh look yet more look at me pretending I'm useful pissy pants. Go volunteer for the NHS or deliver porn magazines and high strength SPAM disguised as food rations to local elderly lothario. 

 

Your penchant for pick pedantry does not preclude the permeation of your penchant and prosperity to performance and being an all round cunt.

I'm not making a big fuss out of anything, I'm just constructively contributing to a deadpooling forum, which is more than can be said for any of the utter turgid dogs hit that you have persistently populated this forum with for several fucking years.
