  3. When I recognise more than 1 than you’re quite right, it is a bit easier than the others, because I tried and didn’t get one right in the authors one I’m going to do more than one!

    12 Patrick MacNee, ever seen John Steeed speak Afrikaans? The Avengers was dubbed into Afrikaans during the ’70’s

    14 Roger Moore

    3 My name is Michael Caine 🙂

  5. Well done Soutie!

    You are absolutely right on all three! Any idea what they have in common?

    I haven’t seen the Afrikaans version – quite fascinating!

  6. I have been admonished for my comment! Bad Bear!
    I’ve also been told what they all have in common, and my reaction was a gobsmacked “Oh!”.
    I’m not saying nobody will get it, but it sure isn’t easy. Prove me wrong, Charioteers!     😀

  8. I didn’t hear John Thaw ‘speak’ English until about ’96/7 as Inspector Morse! The Equity ban had just been lifted but we did have Blitspatrolle (flying / lightening squad ) during the ’80’s I suppose, that was The Sweeny, also dubbed into Afrikaans!

  9. Boadicea :

    Any idea what they have in common?

    Well not knowing who they all are my initial thought was of course actors, Bearsy’s “it sure isn’t easy” confirmed my initial suspicion that actors isn’t it!

    I’ll go with them perhaps all being closet gays 😉

  11. Christopher

    Well – they are all male and they are all actors, but they have something else in common, too 🙂

    Soutie

    They well might be – but if they were ‘closet gays’ no one would know 🙂

    Sheona

    Correct! No idea about the connection?

  13. Sipu

    I would imagine that they did – but that’s not the answer I’m looking for!

  15. 11 is what’sisface….played Dracula and lots of the Hammer horror films…..OFFS!…..Lee……something Lee?

    and 15 is Leonard ‘Mr Spock’ Nemoy.

    OZ

  20. Sheona – that’s the chap. 🙂

    19 is the bloke who played ‘Callan’ back in the day….OfFS!…..Ian Somebody-or-other. Sorry, the brain isn’t engaging today.

  26. OZ

    Need to do a bit better!

    Bravo

    Right!!

    Tocino

    Correct on one – Bravo pipped you with Peter!

  27. 18 is the bloke who played the Prime Minister in ‘House of Cards’. Another Ian somebody. Right, going to give the brain a proper talking to now.

    OZ

  29. Toc – told you it was an Ian 🙂

    Sipu – that’s the fellow.

    Sob!

    Thanks for pointing me to Bravo’s comment – we had to rush out to the Bottle Shop before it closed! No wine with dinner is a crime.

    You are right about Basil Rathbone…

  33. Morning, Boadicea. What do they all have in common?

    I haven’t a clue so I’ll guess that they were all married to actresses!

  35. Morning. Is #1 John Barrymore? No idea what the connection is, apart from them all having something to do with show business.

  42. There are so many things that actors often fall prey to, such as alcohol abuse, mental health issues and the need of counselling therapy for upbringing issues… any of those?

  45. I stumbled across a web-site listing those who had played Sherlock Holmes in a search for an ‘Old Movie Stars’ site. It seemed too good an opportunity to ignore!

  47. Yes! I was pretty stunned – as was Bearsy!

    Will someone please find the last two people in the next hour or so while I watch my dreadful programme… 🙂

  54. I agree that it looks rather like Raymond Massey, Araminta. But you’ll kick yourself when you realise who it actually is! I know I did! 🙂

  55. Hi folks, MrsOldmovie and I are just back from our state visit to the Baltic regions and to celebrate my return to the Chariot I give you Number 8….John Gielgud.

  56. Congratulations OMG!!
    Sir John it is. You’re a champion.
    Boadicea will be back when her episode of the Kennedys finishes.

  59. Thanks everyone! 🙂

    OMG

    I wondered where you were – I think you would have got the whole lot and the connection in five minutes flat!
