Forces TV is quite good - seen Sapphire and Steel and Randall and Hopkirk off it in the last year. And Space 1999, which was a bit dire. Ah Sapphire And Steel - I remember watching it first time round - Milo O'Shea's son in the first story and he's slightly older than me! There's a lot dead from Dr McDee Must Die. Then you realise it's 40+ years old! *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,963 Posted June 28, 2020 Marian Cisovsky's day of death was ill-chosen. Too many football decisions elsewhere - all the pent-up games of the Corona break. I wonder if he's the second obit victim after Ed Genson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 28, 2020 This guy (who seems to be a journalist for multiple publications) mentioned his death and tweeted at a couple of other journalists after this tweet, so I’m guessing one of them will write something sometime in the next week: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,963 Posted July 1, 2020 We're a bit unlucky this year with a few non-picks, i.e. Ratzinger, or John Prine. It's getting more likely that we miss the hit record, again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re Tauranac - there's always the fallback that BBC Sport tend to list motorsport deaths at the end of the year - that was the way points were snagged for Jim Russell not too long ago Found this photo of Ron and Black Jack Brabham - do they look like Laurel and Hardy, or what? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,963 Posted July 20, 2020 As I update for Ruth Morrissey, we now have 6 teams within 4 points. Has it ever been so close, so relatively late in the year? Well, we have 5 months left, and lots of potential hits that can change the scoreboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted July 20, 2020 Yeah, this year is far from over and I could see anyone really win it from the top 15 still due to how close it is. Though I’d be more surprised if, say, Lord Football’s Usual List of Ill People wins instead of folk like To Kill a Gabor Sister... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
