Harry wins it with the cut-and-paste job.

It is indeed an "idiot"... a person with Down's Syndrome was referred to as a "Mongolian Idiot" or "Mongoloid". Obviously there are more politically correct terms nowadays.

Jimmy - IE James - Carter's middle name is Earl. As is James Earl Jones, who voiced the lord of the Sith. And I wouldn't have thought he was so cool when I was a kid had I known what an angsty git Anakin was in his teens. ;)

Harry wins by dint of living in the right place. Lucky. ;)

The Mars Bar as we know it was first manufactured in Slough in the UK in 1932 as a sweeter version of the Milky Way bar which Mars produced in the USA. A completely different bar named Mars Bar was sold in the USA until 2000.

What is the total when you add the following together ?

How many episodes of Fawlty Towers were ever made ?


How many episodes of Police Squad (from which Naked Gun was derived) were ever made ?
