Fallen Sparrow |
Years in DDP: 2 Best position: 1st (2005) |
The 2005 winner returns to defend his title, with a slightly less off-the-wall selection of celebs this time. However, one of them, novelist Anne Green, turned out to be already dead, so he is running with only 19 team members. Still 4 unique picks though. |
Finbarr Returns from the Dead (Again) |
Years in DDP: 6 Best position: 2nd (2000) |
Has been around most years since the early days of DDP, though has never really come close to repeating his 2nd place of 2000. |

Years in DDP: 11 Best position: 2nd (1996) |
Other than Big Iain himself, the only competitor to have taken part in DDP every year since the start. Has finished 2nd, 3rd (twice) & 4th - could this be the year for JJ to take top spot? |
