    Quite a few "Before they even finished primary school" in here :) A really good selection and very surprising on many of them - Rowan Atkinson really bowled me over.

      There have been a few comments questioning the comedic qualities of Lenny Henry, I disagree with them, although I have never quite understood what Ricky Gervais was all about, he seems so conceited somehow.

    Wonderful, as your quizzes always are. I especially liked number ten, I was like "not sure who that young man is, but he's damned handsome" And then I got it, and I was so surprised, I was like "I've never fancied that guy in my life". Although he was great in Robot Wars. For you and your wonderful brain ❤️

      I'm old enough to remember his first appearance on New Faces. His impressions were rubbish, his act was rubbish and there were any number of amateurs lining up to do bad impersonations of Frank Spencer and Tommy Cooper but he stood out because he was black. If he was white he'd probably still be working in a factory in Birmingham. His gain our pain.
