The spreadsheet has also been updated with these scores: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RxCIfczRUmrRrW79tUQ0vJ5KaHZpYENsTKmDqW4X3W4/edit?usp=sharing

I think I've spotted a few errors.

Savage Henry should be on 169, not 159 (arithmetic error)

pawpar should be on 87, not 97 (arithmetic error)

Miguel Sanchez (!) should be on 209 not 109 (arithmetic error. Something's going wrong with the tens column on your abacus!)

Thomcat should be on a lofty 239 not 115 (D.M. Thomas died and left an obituary at https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/mar/29/dm-thomas-obituary )

Also the #19 and #20 places on the table are the wrong way round, confusingly!

I'm another who thought he died years ago.  Well done him for not being as dead as I thought he is/was.

Sir Michael Parkinson: Chat show host dies aged 88

No more free Parker pens just for enquiring from the big man

Perfect timing, Michael.

I used to think Parkinsons Disease was named after him. 

I regularly check the Recent Deaths page on Wikipedia (I’m a cheery guy like that). The fact his surname and his eponymous chat show are in the entry, but the cause of death isn’t, made me think he’d died of Parkinson’s

When they replaced him on the Sun Life ads with that old couple with the vegetable fetish, I assumed he died. 

"Remember those Sun Life ads?"

"Ah yes, the ones with Parky"

They said that in the ad. Now we know that, sitting at home, watching these during the day, he was probably seething that they were using his nickname and he wasn't getting a penny.
