No
Tom and Jerry.
It's really amazing that two highly creative people could have been so unimaginative as to have come up with such a naff name. Maybe they were influenced by showbiz "experts".
Quite correct and I agree.
Your turn.
OK
What's the link between Baker Street and Billy Connolly? (Full explanation, please).

Full marks for a very comprehensive reply! Your go, Simon.
I spent Sunday with my foot up watching old videos after twisting my ankle.
One of the movies was "The man who shot Liberty Valance", which stars John Wayne and is notable as one of the few movies where John Wayne's character dies in the movie. (Well, they attend his funeral anyway).
The quiz is:
Name four more movies where John Wayne's character dies.
The Alamo
The alamo,
The shootist,
The cowboys,
sorry stuck for the fourth... someone else?
Here's a small clue: the rest are not WesternsQuote:

anybody else care to fill in the gaps?
He made many war movies, so it is probable that the rest of them are in this category.
got a video where he plays a guy who goes round capping oil rig fires ... can't remember if he expires in it though ... have to go home and watch the end again.

Incidentally, there's a very good joke about Red Adair's fictional brother Green(! :D )

Just an update on status so far:
There are seven to pick from (out of a total 174 movies that John Wayne starred in) and so far Himzol has three (Bob already had one of those)
Of the four remaining, two are war movies and two are based at sea (so Himzol is close but still needs to get one of their names)
Flying Leathernecks is not one nor is Hellfighters, the one based loosely on Red Adair.
PS I'm a bit of a fan

P ;)
Wake of the red witch,
Nagged at me all bloody night, had to go and google for the name. If I'm right I'll let somebody else have the honor as I don't have another question to replace it.
Himzo.
Is the correct answerQuote:

Sorry Himzol, but you'll have to come up with another question - them's the rules.
Hmmm OK,
Give me a couple of hours and I'll see what I can come up with.
I'm really no good at these things it's just that I whatched a lot of midday matinees while I was at coledge, classes were mainly first thing in morning or late at night and lived virtualy accross the street.
John Wayne and Elvis kept me sane :rolleyes: (not really)
Himzo.
OK try this one,
"what did he say harry? what did he say?" comes from which cartoon show and name the main Charecter(s)
Hmm 8 hours and nothing, OK a clue it was Cool.
Cool Hand Harry?
Echidna for a guess, it was pretty close, any body else?
OK another clue the cartoon was part of a half hour show based around a character who's catch phrase was "danger is my business" .
Who wants to get it right and have to come up with a question?
Specially after half a bottle of SA red ( and progressing)
Cool McCool?
Well Silent is correct in some respects, but the original question is this:
It was a cartoon within the Cool McCool show,Quote:
"what did he say harry? what did he say?" comes from which cartoon show and name the main Charecter(s)
Itchy & Scratchy?
Oops, wrong show.
OK time to put an end to this and try something a little less obscure,
The answer is "My POP the COP", the characters wer Tom, Dick and Harry McCool.,
Try this one, in the tV show F-troop what was the name of the Indian tribe, and how did it get it's name?
Himzo.
Be nice now people. :D None of that lost tribe stuff.
It was the Heckawi tribe (which is a cleaner version of what is refering to) They got their name 'cause they were always getting lost. Thus asking the question: "Where the heck are we?"
Correct, your go Craig.
The actor who played Rene Artois in the TV Show 'Allo, 'Allo was the victim of a bizarre accident.
What was it?
No cheating now :)
I really should know the answer to this, shouldn't I?
However, without cheating, I think he (the bloke's name is Gorden Kaye - and that is the correct spelling) had a collision in his car which resulted in him getting impaled through the head with a piece of wood. Is that right? (Or putting it another way: Good moaning! Es thit cerrooct?)
Col
Absolutely correct Col. :)
I was just checking your knowledge of your favorite TV show :D
Actually what happened was a sign hoarding blew through his car wndow in a storm and impaled him in the head, poor bugger. The good news is he recovered. :)
Your go.
OK.
On a not-unrelated subject :D here's a three parter:-
1. Which serious TV drama serial provided the inspiration for "Allo 'Allo"?
2. What was the name of the cafe proprietor in the original?
3. What was the name of the actor who played him?
Sooo ... 24 hours have elapsed and no takers. :rolleyes:
Well, no clues either. :eek:
C'mon, fellas. Someone must know the answers!
