Phoenix Nights comedian Ted Robbins looking and sounding awful on a documentary about Victoria Wood on C5 tonight. Very weak voice and trembling hands, looking so much older than his 65 years. He had a heart attack on stage at the Manchester arena a few years back, definitely one to watch for 2021.

His voice is that bad due to severe smoke inhalation in a house fire. That will have hit him health-wise also but it doesn't mean he's as close to death as he sounds.

Do you think she'd get a QO?

How about the infamous spy, George Blake? Still living in Moscow aged 98. 

[FixedBusiness 407]

Been seeing a few things in multiple Leslie West/Mountain related Facebook groups that Leslie West might be in hospital because his heart gave out. And he's not expected to live. Not that big of a surprise because he's a big guy and he has diabetes etc.. still sad as a huge Mountain fan if this is true.

Should have included Beverly Cleary for my list.  She'll be on it, assuming she makes it to 2021.  I mean, how much longer can she have?  I had a great aunt who lived to be one week shy of her 105th birthday, and Cleary will beat that for sure if she makes it to April 12th.

Actress Laura Dern talks about the friend she lost to Covid, and what Covid means for her parents, the very notable Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9076871/Laura-Dern-reveals-beautiful-male-friend-died-COVID-19.html

 

Diane Ladd apparently has a "lung condition", so Covid is a big risk. And the article also says that Laura "takes care of her father", whatever that means.

Is this the same Diane Ladd who was told she had "six months to live" in 2018? She should definitely be on radars and if anyone needs a loose name to round their team up to 20, there's much worse picks.

85, mind - so  slim pickings with the DDP scoring rules

Didn't realise the songwriter behind "Santa Baby", Philip Springer, is still alive. Aged 94 and one of the last Brill Building tunesmiths, surprisingly never picked on the DDP before.

As of my theme teams going in last week, no longer the case should he make January 1st.

Considering that Spade is willing to put her name up here, 10 days before the DDP begins, I suspect that there isn't a hope in hell of her getting a QO!

How about Vince McMahon's mom, Victoria Askew? She'll be turning 101 next year. Hey, if Gates Sr. can get on...

Gates Sr was a hit ya whining khunt.  Are you admitting to a pea sized brain complaining about a successful DL offering?  Are you?

Throwing one out there for consideration: Sean Penn was looking rather rough this morning. 

[Guest]

I think I would drop Pervez for Jerry Lee Lewis and Cheney for Robert Sowol since their names have been thrown around by the community lately.

He looks like you would expect a bloke to look at 6.30 am when he's just rolled out of bed.

Speak for yourself. I look fucking gorgeous whatever time I roll out of bed.
