@MI5

To clarify the Movies question.

I worded it in that way as Count Dooku and Darth Tyranus were one and the same person - played by Christopher Lee. I would accept either as a correct answer.

In hindsight I maybe should have emphasised this, but as no-one raised this as a question on the thread or in a pm I assumed the quizzers would think the same.

Oooh errr.

There used to be a little contest between Lukas and Marjo... now we have competition between Theresa and Lukas

You never know, I might have to start taking bets on who will get a Silver Thinker first in a normal WRQ.
