20.   Unscramble the two words  :  D E E I I K L N R V Y

1. Richard Kiel, 7. The Artist, 12. Opportunities. 13. Martin Scorcese (I think)

1 Jaws (Richard Kiel)
3. The Shard ?
11. Kiev
13. Martin Scorcese
14. Basking shark
17. Craic

17 Ceilidh

17. Fleadh

16 Sailing

2. Justin Bieber.

Read the question again ;)

12 Opportunities.

It's the only one I knew. I didn't want to admit it...

6. Robin Cousins.

11. Liechtenstein

11. LIECHTENSTEIN (sp)

9. I know its Trever Horn & Andrew Sachs but not sure on the link.

EDIT.

Russell Brand.

Trevor Horn produced a song by him and obviously the Sachsgate thing too.

I was about to say you can colour in the e, but then re-read the question!

1.   Richard Kiel  
12.   Opportunities  
13.   Martin Scorsese
14.   Basking shark
16.   Sailing?
17.   Ceilidh

Edit: oh, that added nothing to previous TEF wisdom.  :-[

Gotta be something to do with Jonathan Ross or Russell Bland

I think you've found the answer…  :sherlock:

 Horn and Sachs (Sax)....musical instruments

18. 2nd March (only in a leap year)  :sherlock: hence 3rd Feb today.

3. The Leadenhall Building (aka The Cheesegrater)
4. Destiny
10. Remoulade
16. Rowing

8. 2112

19. Australia?

Mad max, convicts...

20.  LIVER, KIDNEY

9. Coronation Street? - Andrew Sachs and Ken Morley?

19.  How about songs by The Pretenders?

1. Kid
2. Brass in Pocket
3. Middle of the Road
4. Stop Your Sobbing
5. Back on the Chain Gang

 :-[

Wow!

 :dito:

My initial thought...pic 3 looks like road across the Nulaboor Plain.....needs a bit more though

having seen Pisser's solution 4D.....it did need a bit more  :)

might have been a while coming up with that answer.

I have already put the answer ;)

Haha, oops! :)

 Nobody has got Cameron's favourite comic....can't think why this oh so important fact has slipped the collective TEF net.

If the question means comic as in comedian the answer is Benny Hill

If it means comic as in The Beano I dont know

He has been in Scotland a bit this week so I wouldn't be surprised if it was Billy Connolly...trying to link himself to the Scots in any way he can.

Probably Viz.

With a name like Cameron, he must have some Scot in him.  I hated Dr Findley's Casebook.

BTW...think Jayo's answer to 8 is wrong....I'm going 6009

8. Obviously it's 2002.

But 2 rotated 180 doesn't look like 2.

Neither does a 1, as shown in the question  :D

The question is a bit vague, isn't it?  I remember an old quiz question to do with Cameron picking "Ernie" by Benny Hill as one of his Desert Island Discs.  Probably doesn't fit this question, though.

Edit:  Oops, sorry Audrey!  Just spotted you already gave this.

Right, comics from my era as a kid (I'm slightly younger than Cammy)

Buster
Dandy
Beano
Whizzer and Chips
Eagle
Commando
Er...can't remember any more.
What was Korky the cat in?  :sherlock:

I think it must mean a person - so Benny Hill

Somewhat ambiguous, but I'm going for a comic character rather than a comedian....got to be Lord Snooty, on whom Cameron has based his life

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b8/Lord_Snooty.gif)

When comic book character was mentioned this instantly came to my mind too :)

I thought it meant next time from now, not from 1961.

Reg, think of the characters on a digital clock if it helps.

I imagine reg has a key wound clock  :)

8. The question states that 1961 was the last time it happened, so in my eyes, that means you cannot use the digital version of 2 (otherwise 2002 would have been the last time), and if you arent using 2, you cant use 5 either. So the next time it happens must be 6009

 :nod:

That's crap then. Look at 1, turn it around and it looks like an L. I is a capital i

But the question doesn't mention "book", just "comic hero" - although I like Reg's Lord Snooty analogy.  I'd go with Benny Hill.

Good reasoning, I'm happy with that.

Yeah...what's a digital clock?   One of things that shoved into every appliance in the 80's.....oooh it's got a digital clock, futuristic. Either that or a calculator

Furthermore, if their difference is 1, then the previous month must have 1 day more than 28, which is February in a leap year.  Therefore, Angela's birthday is March 2nd.

20.   Unscramble the two words  :  D E E I I K L N R V Y  LIVER & KIDNEY

 Don't think we got 15.....plantigrade....well you learn something everyday.

Yeah.  Didn't have a 'scooby' about that one!

Somebody should come up with a new pic question.

Pisser got it far too quickly

Why?  There's nothing wrong with the Q19 format.  It's usually one of the toughest questions - and the most fun.  I just got lucky with this one because, when I saw the 5th pic, I started singing the song to myself.  After that, 'Brass in pocket' and 'Kid' stood out and then the other two quickly fell into place.  Next time, I probably won't have a scooby.   :)

I'm more of a saunterer.
