IMG 29


Well spotted, that's a rather famous "cameo" bit he did, Eric and Hattie hadn't seen him at all after reharsals, they weren't expecting him to walk on stage in full makeup like that, and they just couldn't keep a straight face Cheesy

Eric Sykes 'Sykes' Out-Takes


Nice chance to see good old Joan Sims and Richard Wattis as well Smiley


Not much point in digging for further details here, apart from the competition being really over, again as with most guest-starring roles, once you've spotted the actor and the show the rest's all there for all to see...

IMG 29 is...
Peter Sellers as Tommy Grando
in "Sykes" (S01E06, "Stranger", 19 October 1972)


1. Zeke Wolf - 132 points
2. Phil Glass - 81
3. Rogue - 79
4. Mei65 - 39
5. Crash - 15
6. Harry Fielder - 10
7. Gomez Addams - 5



And now for the Grand Finale... this is THE one that gave me the idea of the quiz game to start with... Cheesy

IMG 30



P.S. I can easily see how Steven Gerrard would be a lot more important for most right now than comedians in disguise... I'd better settle down myself with beers and assorted unhealthy food... Grin

my immediate thought was red dwarf but background isnt right. nothing springs to mind though wouldn't look out of place for victor meldrew in one foot in the grave. Im guessing this is going back to 70/80's

If anyone gets this they have done well.

Well done indeed, this was a case of all or nothing, there aren't many crocodiles roaming TV stages in Britain, usually Smiley

IMG 30 is...
Rowan Atkinson as Inspector Fowler (rehearsing the part of the Crocodile from "Peter Pan")
in "The Thin Blue Line" (S01E07, "Yuletide Spirit", 26 december 1995)

Final scores, then...

1. Zeke Wolf - 132 points
2. Phil Glass - 96
3. Rogue - 79
4. Mei65 - 39
5. Crash - 15
6. Harry Fielder - 10
7. Gomez Addams - 5


So...

Thanks, I've always loved the concept of instant karma...

Paul Weller Live-Instant Karma


And I'm just crazy about Paul Weller, incidentally... Wink

But it is I, Leclerc... er, no, got a bit confused there... Wink

It is I who should thank you all for being nice and good sports with an improvised self-appointed quizmaster, be sure I enjoyed this as much as you did Grin


Now, we can make this game a recurring event, why not, and, Phil, if you have ideas already, why don't you organise the next "season" yourself?

I wouldn't mind playing myself, next time... Grin

Didn't have the time to prepare this earlier, what with our game finishing sooner than I expected and the football games starting in earnest Cheesy

Well, as I said there are no prizes for our game, but there is still an award, the much coveted "Edna"... Cheesy

Hey Gomez...

Fairy nuff!!  I think I have a t least 5 which would be interesting to people... should we reset the scores or let them roll on?  I'm happy to continue it until I run out of ideas, then someone else can take over etc...  if that's alright with everybody.  It was your fun idea originally, and a good one!

Well, just my opinion, of course, but I think we ought to consider the current game finished, the award has been given and that's it... for the moment Smiley

As for a new "edition", as I said I'm all in favour, but perhaps not straight away, eh? You CAN have too much of a good thing, methinks, as much as I'm eager to try my hand at playing myself...

And 5 images is not much for a new game, really... I had started with 10, as a basic idea, then kept finding nice ones so extended that to 20, and then it never stopped, and I had to pull myself together to finish with 30, in fact I have another 20 or so in reserve already... Wink

All the above, not having ALL the time in the world, took me something like 2 years to put together, during my "normal" viewings, on the average I'd say a couple of hours almost every day between movies and TV shows.

Of course, the idea of the quiz game came about slowly, and slowly and casually it developed, if you already know where to look it shouldn't take that long, but I still think the best would be if you "produced" and quizmastered the 2011 Edna award... Smiley

I must also admit having another project of my own, a Christmas Special titled "The 12 Days of Santa", where I'll challenge you to spot 12 British comedians dressed as Santa Claus...

If I can find 12, that is... I've only got 3 right now, and I'm a bit pessimistic about finding one sitting on a pear tree... Grin

I have a few comedian 'Santa' pics so if you fall short, let me know, I might be able to help.
