1. I had a feeling that you being a horror film buff, I was going to have problems with this one.
Are you sure 'Tower Of London' was classified as a horror film and not a sci-fi?
My answer source suggests he didn't move into the horror genre 'til the '50's.

BigC

Oh, by the way the rest are spot on.
Well done.

Ada.

[bigcumba]

I have Tower of London in my Aurum Encyclopedia of the Horror Film plus a couple of other books as a horror movie... Just checked the IMDB and they have it as horror / drama... I know the film you'll have - it'll be House of Wax from 1953 (with a young Charles Bronson credited under his real name of Buchinsky playing Igor) OK, I'll take the anorak off now :D

[Ruby]

Hi Ada ..how are you? :)
2, James Ist?
3, Derek Nimmo....guess!
10, Nigel Planer?
12, Snakes
13, W A L D

[TheGoodGuy]

Cheers BigC....
I don't know which one to post as the right answer now!?!?
I await your final guidance on this one....

Ada. :wink :)

[bigcumba]

House of Wax is by far the better known one, but Tower of London was strictly speaking the first so I guess that should be the one you put in as the correct answer :)

[GlosRFC]

9. Judo
10. I thought it was Peter Cook?

[TheGoodGuy]

Hi 'Roobs'

Doing fine thanks, hope you are as well.

I'm afraid your answers are WRONG....
but you are SOOOO.... close with No.13 that as it's you I'll give it.

Guess what I'm listening to as I type this....honest to G*d it's Shaky's new The Collection CD.

OK I know my Rep may suffer as a result, but hey, what the hell.....!!

Regards

Ada.

[Ruby]

Ah a convert...:)
You have beaten me to it , still haven't purchased the lovely one's newest offering :D
Oh well got em all wrong...back to the drawing board..:(

[Ruby]

Ok ..I'll try Richard 111 as the king who didn't marry?

[GlosRFC]

*ahem* Is this a quiz or a mutual welsh boyo appreciation society?

[TheGoodGuy]

Correct so far Glos.

Ada.

[GlosRFC]

15. Not a clue here but it seems the sort of thing Nobby Stiles would've tried

[GlosRFC]

12. Hazarding another guess, purely from the name, basilisk lizard?

[Ruby]

oh no actually, Edward who was our queen's uncle...he didn't marry and abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson, but can't remeber his number...must be 8th as 7th was Victoria's son...Edward 8th??

[TheGoodGuy]

Careful now Glos....

Please don't dock me any Rep points just cos I'm listening to Shakin Stevens, although I probably deserve it, maybe even banning for life..... but hopefully Ruby will defend my corner to keep my membership alive and not let everyone into my 80's Rock 'n' Roll fetish....PERLEASE !!!! :) :rolleyes:

Ada.

[GlosRFC]

Just remembered something. Carrying on from your other question about Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) - what was the name of the Prince who woke her up?

[Ruby]

Prince Phillip woke her up Glos

[GlosRFC]

That's right.
