Yes you're clearly not going to guess this. Last clue - sounds very Germanic.

since it's poets day i had a little cheat. there is some tidy symbolism in the name. i've just been reading about pygmalion and galatea too which is fascinating.

OK, we'll count that one as over, since it's pointless to drag it out.

Transport next:

Which tube station would you most associate with Richard Burton (the actor, not the explorer)?

ah.

this is my line of work so i should really get this. i believe that he starred in a b movie called raw meat which was about a troglodytic being which ate lost commuters. it was based in russell square tube station so that is my guess.

Your line of work as in you're a troglodyte cannibal living in the Underground?

Nice try but I think you'll find the film was 'Death Line' starring Donald Pleasance.

Also a blank.

Try the Picadilly Line

As a sad Horror movie buff Raw Meat was the release title in America for Death Line.

tannhauser gate.

now i know a lot about the piccadilly line but next to nothing about richard burton except that he married that liz taylor twice.
i should know the answer if it is one of the original stations (hammersmith-finsbury park) so from the others, another shot in the dark:

hatton cross?

Ps There are more than one person called Richard Burton. ie A famous explorer who was knighted.

QuizMaster · Post by **QuizMaster** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 2:12 pm

Well then, you should know the answer. And it's not the explorer (again)

okay, next-best guess: the disused aldwych station?
i know that 50% of london underground scenes are filmed there.

QuizMaster · Post by **QuizMaster** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 2:28 pm

Ah no again. The connection is a lot more direct than that.

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 2:34 pm

i'm whistling in the wind then.

kightsbridge? barons court? arsenal?
