I just hope BBC6 Music took note of my strongly worded complaint after the "day of sad tracks" when Phil the Greek fell off his perch.

Captain about to deliver any day now.

There was some murmurs as the year started that she was only famous for being ill (Wikipedia still doesn't give her a page, just a one-liner saying she's on a podcast, which does have a short page) so that one might end up as a steward's inquiry.

Bit like Dr Kate Grainger a few years back. I was denied points for her on that basis. Had a hissy fit, flounced off in the huff and have never played since..😢😂😂😂

If old duffer Capt Sir Tom qualified ("famous" for being old ?, fundraising ?) Then I'm sure Deborah James is well in. Her fundraising and awareness campaigning alone should be enough.

Being old isn't an illness.

Famous for being ill imo.

Yeah, I have her as my Captain but did hee haw research. I thought she was in the Media before the illness or I wouldn't have picked her, it's a no from me.

I don't play the game (no dog in the fight) and just read to keep up who's dead.

I've never heard of her so did a google search...she is famous because she HAD cancer and THEN did fundraising.

No points

I respectfully disagree. Lots of people get ill and don't become famous. She got ill and then became famous from her podcasts and newspaper columns. Yes she discussed her illness but also lots of other peoples and became well known for that, not just that she was ill. She has many listeners and readers who know her for that, not just the fact she is ill. So she became ill before being famous yes but I don't see how that matters if she used that as motive to be a well known podcaster and columnist.

Just my thoughts and yes....I do have her in my list 😀

If she didn't get ill would she have been famous? No.. As near perfect case of being famous for being ill. as you'll get.

Serious business this.
