Okay, my twitter notifications appear to have quietened down a bit now that today's bussed-in statue-protectors have started throwing nazi salutes, so now that's settled, here's yesterday's quiz. Again we all had to come up with a round, and again the others found
mine much harder than I was expecting, giving me a huge tactical
advantage when it came to the final tally of course. I gave them the role Kenny Baker played in a film, short or television programme according to the Internet Movie Data Base, one other member of the cast, along with their role, and the year that the thing came out, and they had to give me the credit. You know, the name of the thing. I've posted answers in the comments.
1. Kenny Baker was a Plumed Dwarf and Michael Elphick was the Night Porter in 1980.
2. Kenny Baker was Fidgit and John Cleese was Robin Hood in 1981.
3. Kenny Baker was the Parody Commendatore and Vincent Schiavelli was Salieri's Valet in 1984.
4. Also in 1984, Kenny Baker was HRH The Rangdo of Arg and Sandra Dickinson was herself (and who can blame her?)
5. Kenny Baker was a Brighton Busker and Cathy Tyson was Simone in 1986.
6. Kenny Baker was R2-D2 (uncredited), and Paul Reubens was Pilot Droid RX-24 in 1987.
7. Kenny Baker was Dufflepud and Warwick Davis was Reepicheep in 1989.
8. Kenny Baker was Bruce the Convict and Jim Davidson was the Sheriff of Notthingham in 1999.
9. Kenny Baker was the Zookeeper (uncredited), and Sean Harris was Ian Curtis in 2002.
10. And finally, Kenny Baker was Charles Isaac and Simon MacCorkindale was Harry Harper in 2007.
AND HERE ARE THE ANSWERS... 1:- The Elephant Man. 2:- Time Bandits. 3:- Amadeus. 4:- The Adventure Game (oddly Baker played The Rangdo in only two episodes of this no-budget, Douglas-Adams-inspired escape room precursor). 5:- Monal Lisa. 6:- Star Tours (listed as a "short" in IMDB). 7:- (Prince Caspian and) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. 8:- Boobs In The Wood (I did not expect anyone to know this immediately, but they might know that Jim Davidson made videos of mucky pantos, and which panto the Sheriff of Nottingham was in, and what it might have been renamed.) 9:- 24 Hour Party People. 10:- Casualty. I had completely forgotten Simon MacCorkindale was in Casualty.
