and its been 4 years since his thread had a new entry.

We should bring Edmundo Ros - band leader and arranger - into consideration if only because he's 29 days short of his 100th birthday.

As the Death List Committee prepares to debate candidates worthy of inclusion in next year's list, I would like to take the opportunity to remind them of dear old Edmundo. He's 96 next month. I've no health report to offer as evidence of his imminent demise. But I've a feeling in my waters, as my old mother-in-law used to say. Much the same as I did with Val Guest, Constance Cummings and Kay Walsh. And er...Norah Baring...who eventually embarrassed me by revealing that she actually took her final curtain call in 1985! Well at least we opened up a useful debate on on her whereabouts which finally resulted in the IMDB updating her entry!

I confess that Richard O'Sullivan has failed me miserably on the hanging front. And Patrick Moore looks fairly comfortable in his trousers.

But Edmundo must surely be about to perform his final rhumba pretty soon.

Alas, where will that leave us for Saturday evening entertainment?
