15. John Le Mesurier
I am on a roll. :D |
1. Michael Hordern.

Now I shall wait to see what's correct and what isn't before I continue.
|
MICHAEL HORDERN (Gandalf): The first – an archangel – who’s guarding a vase?
2. The second – spends more than an age at his house? CHRISTOPHER FAIRBANK (Shagrat): The third graced our screens in ‘Auf Wiedersehen, Pet!’ ROBERT STEPHENS (Aragorn): The fourth was a Prince on a Veronese set. 5. The fifth, though no hobbit, loves victuals and drink, PAULINE LETTS (Ioreth): The sixth – Walford matriarch allows us – I think! 7. The seventh played quack to Ross Poldark’s old flame - 8. The eighth, (flag the second), definitive Thain!* LEONARD FENTON (Daddy Twofoot): The ninth, (flag the fourth), a Walfordian quack - 10. The tenth – Tucker’s sister? (Once a river flows back). 11. In eleven, a saint meets a foundling most poor - WILLIAM NIGHY: In twelve, it seems Shakespeare’s nearby, but wherefore? ** 13. Thirteen is a saint, and a visionary too, ** MARION DIAMOND (Galadriel): Fourteen is a maid, and a gemstone most true. 15. Fifteen: Eighties game, plus a bounder and measure, ** DAVID COLLINGS (Legolas): Sixteen plays the son of an elf who loves treasure. 17. For seventeen, no spade? Petrified, but not dead! JENNY LEE (Shelob): Eighteen, (flag the sixth), Attercop! Poison-head! 19. The nineteenth, twice queenly, a pen or car-stopper? 20. With twenty as glue, the tale won’t come a cropper! ** ANTHONY HYDE (Eomer): Twenty-one is no Jekyll. On horseback he jogs, RICHARD O'CALLAGHAN (Merry): Twenty-two steers a barge, or plays fair Lewis Boggs! 23. This sibilant genius is our twenty-three - *** 24. Two dozen! - a Potter, and Old English sea! The whole means a drama, of quality rare, Where thesps and their ilk show considerable flair! I left out the ‘sounds likes’ to make it flow better, So - enjoy the clues! (From Pervinca, your setter). ( * Well, future Thain). (** Flag the second). (*** Flag the third). THEME: THE BBC 'LORD OF THE RINGS' RADIO DRAMATISATION. You *are* on a roll, but a very brief explanation of the answers would be nice. Yes to all except John Le Mesurier. |
I think you forgot to put in 17.....

Password now correct, following your edit. |
24. Harry (obvious why) + Holm (old English for 'sea') = Harry Holm.

You said 'Yes to all except John Le Mesurier' and so I assumed 17 was correct as well.... |

Think of a Dickensian foundling. |
5. Oz Clarke (The only actor with initial 'O' I could find).
|
Well, this is where my creative mind fails me.

I see you didn't notice this:

15. Simon Cadell (Simon from 'Simon says' + Cad + Ell)
|
Quote:
EDIT: I'd forgotten about Simon Says! I was referring to an electronic memory game with four different coloured lights that flashed, (each played a different note, too). You had to repeat the sequence that Simon played exactly, or he/it made a rude noise at you I am re-watching the hilarious 80's dramatisation of Tom Sharpe's 'Blott on the Landscape.' Simon Cadell is wonderful in it. He died tragically young. :( Celeborn in the BBC LOTR, but probably best known for playing Geoffrey Fairbrother in the holiday camp sitcom 'Hi De Hi.' |
There is Oliver Twist, but there is no 'Thorne' there.....

Ah. Stephen Oliver.

At least, when I say 'now,' I mean the last I heard, he was still the host and the programme was still running. Two to go! EDIT: One to go now! |
20. Gerard Murphy?
23. Peter Howell? |

Gerard Murphy is correct. Peter Howell is not. |
Making a joke.....
Why can't you people understand a joke? D: :( |
I do understand jokes, when I understand their context! Just asking you to explain the connection, that's all.
Ah. The remaining answer is the sibilant genius. |
