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.

Cheers. Okay, they've been in the news a bit recently, but where was the Mars Bar (as we know it) created?

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 ?
