Just a stab in the dark here but would I be right in assuming that Chris Dreja has been diagnosed with something terminal if he's in your team ?

He left the band in 2013 after a series of strokes, not terminal but not in the best of health

They did some great ads.

In the one with John Wayne they were about to start filming when somebody pointed out that Griff had his wig on back to front. The makeup person protested that she'd done it exactly as it appeared in the film and when they checked they discovered that JW's wig was actually back to front in the scene they were copying!

Genuinely saddened to hear about Tom Verlaine. Marquee Moon was one of the seminal albums of my youth.

As an aside, I know the square root of feck all about playing the drums but Billy Ficca's chops on the title track above are amazing (imho).

Week 4 update

One death this week, actor Sylvia Syms: Sylvia Syms, prolific British actor, dies aged 89 | Film | The Guardian

Quote

According to a statement given to PA by her family, Syms “died peacefully” on Friday at Denville Hall, a care home in London for those in the entertainment industry. Her children, Beatie and Ben Edney, said: “Our mother, Sylvia, died peacefully this morning. She has lived an amazing life and gave us joy and laughter right up to the end. Just yesterday we were reminiscing together about all our adventures. She will be so very missed.”

Syms died at 89 so she's worth 36 Base Points for @The DA, with a Solo Shot taking that to 86.
