ah yes, 666. Never even thought of that!

Right. Apologies for the crapness of the question again (especially since I was moaning about the lack of quality in pub quizzes on another thread).

We're used to seeing soap characters change into a new actor overnight, but which soap character has been played by 3 different actors/actresses?

Think I know this. Tracey Barlow on Coronation Street. (if not someone on Neighbours which I haven't seen since 1990's. Several shows have twins taking it in turns when portraying babies due to some law regarding children.

Upon checking wikipedia, I could be pedantic as she has been played by 4 actresses, but since I've never watched Corrie, I wasn't aware of this.

I was thinking of Lucy Robinson in Neighbours, but your answer was better.

Over to you sir...

i'll guess ailsa fisher (?) from home and away.
you flaming galah.

i'm probably getting confused with the infinitely more alluring isla fisher but my guess is the one who used to be married to alf the fat shopkeeper.

Isla Fisher... hmmm, truth that you can be beautiful and ginger

Aisla Roberts, on the other hand, was a wrinkled old trout, and I think she was only ever played by one woman.

My wife is beautiful and ginger, but I'm not putting any salacious shots of her on here.

Question. What was unusual about the four stars in the film "The List Of Adrian Messenger" ?

all women?

This is a bit obscure so I'll give the answer. The four stars of the show all wore heavy disguises, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Frank Sinatra and Tony Curtis.

They were all dogs?

p.s. I've just had a thought. I'm ginger and beautiful.
