I like your thinking on Russell Brand. The how is not important, just the possibility.

Auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Russell Braeeuurrghh.

 (fail)

Did anyone chalk up Voltane's point? Who's keeping score around here?

Fair point, well made.  I'll go through & do a tally as soon as I can be arsed.  It's going to be hard to come up with a definitive judgement where Ken's nomination of Macca is concerned.

Well, that was easy.  One point to Voltane, unless you accept Ringo Starr's assurance that Paul McCartney did indeed die in 1966, in which case, a point to Ken too.

:)

I'd completely forgotten i'd entered this. :(

If i recall correctly I get to choose someone new, in which case:

Harry Knowles

I have no idea who that is.  :-$

I don't know if I'm picking ones that have already been picked, there's no central reference :(

Silvio Berlusconi - say no more, say no more..
Buzz Aldrin - I'm honestly very sad about this one, I reserve the right to not take points for it
Scrap that, I appreciate Mr Aldrin too much; replaced with Vladimir Putin.
Justin Bieber - the greater good.

Nobody who's already been chosen can be re-nominated, with the exception of Justin Bieber (known henceforth as the Bastard Dispensation)

Me: All the motherfucking zombies on Dead Island.

As much as I don't like them, I didn't choose a member of One Direction.

It was Harry Knowles of 'Ain't it cool News' website.

Wishful thinking.  I have amended.

Sorry to award myself a point with the death just announced of Rico Rodriguez.

I will endeavour to atone for my sense of personal responsibility for the great man's demise by replacing him with Greville Janner QC.

I thought there was a DR2016 thread, but can't find it. Anyway Burt Kwouk, aka Cato.

Yeah, there is a thread somewhere...

Burt was in the later series of Last of the Summer Wine. He was probably the best thing about it after most of the main character actors had karked it.

Don't think I ever saw him in anything except PP. Maybe I did and didn't recognize him.
