Number 1 in Film is Uma Therman, Number 2 in pop I think is Bob Geldof Number 3 in Sport is Michelle Wie and 4 might be Joe Calzaghe, but its not the best pic Those are the only ones I am confident about, I might research some more as I'm intrigued now

Becky, I am heartily disappointed in you for not recognising Uma Thurman. Rectify this immediately with an afternoon spent watching Batman & Robin, Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill films.
FUNFACT! Uma Thurman is on lots and lots of billboards in Kenya advertising tyres.

If I didn't know better, I'd say No 3 in Literature was a younger Jim McDonald

I think 4 in Current Affairs is Barack Obama. 6 in Sport appears to be an England cricketer - I'm not sure but I would guess that it's Paul Collingwood.

Did you ever find out the answers to this Becky? I was especially intrigued to know who is. It's a woman, right? Dressed as John Lennon or Paul McCartney or some other Beatle? The background suggests an American Idol esque show for some reason (it could suggest any show, if I'm honest) |

I've only got a couple of questions left now, and about a week before it closes, so if anyone can tell me the answers to any of these or knows who the remaining pictures are of, I'd be grateful! I'm hoping by spoilering these no one can come along and steal the answers. I dont mind any one on here using them though. 1. "He made U-turns on a busy street, crashed through safety barriers, crossed road divider markings and failed to signal a single turn." This is a description of a character once voted the worst driver ever on TV. What is the character’s name?
2. Who said that she always gave money to charity for each and every fan letter that she did not reply to?
3. According to the Bishopton Parish Register of 1752, John Wright remembers having seen fairies draped in green and tells how they brought his mother what?
4. A former member of which band held the title of Miss Wiggle in 1984? |

Yes Adrian. You all can enter but I think anyone outside the north east can only get a top prize of £50 or something.

The answers are:  Duncan Fletcher Terry Deary  Barack Obama  Emmanuelle Chriqui Richard Guest  Chris Donald  Marie Fredricksson  Mary Shelley  Matt Ridley  Emmy Rossum  Jessica Ennis  JRR Tolkien  Nicolas Zarkozy Tea Leoni (the picture is from Fun with Dick & Jane)  Bob Geldof  Colin Dexter  Michelle Wie  Steve Fossett  Joe Worsley  Joe Calzaghe  Kim Wilde  Uma Thurman  Pam Ayres And the questions: 1. "He made U-turns on a busy street, crashed through safety barriers, crossed road divider markings and failed to signal a single turn." This is a description of a character once voted the worst driver ever on TV. What is the character’s name? Batman 2. Who said that she always gave money to charity for each and every fan letter that she did not reply to? Enid Blyton 3. According to the Bishopton Parish Register of 1752, John Wright remembers having seen fairies draped in green and tells how they brought his mother what? A pound of butter 4. A former member of which band held the title of Miss Wiggle in 1984? Tight Fit (Denise Gyngell was Miss Wiggle 1984) Thank you to everyone who helped. My total score was somewhere between 273 - 276 out of 300 depending on how generous they are with slightly different wording of answers. The winner usually gets around 290, so I very much doubt I won anything, although the winners are announced next Saturday. |
