h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hurrah, I did enjoy that one! I am not familiar enough with King's work to have picked up the references, I just went for two of the three people I knew made a habit of popping up in movies, the third being Alfred the great but some one else stole my glory.

I shall never read your response to a guess the same way again.

As we are on H2G2 I arbritarily award you the title of "teaser", as you know deriving from the interplanetary kids who take pleasure in wandering up and down in front of galatically challenged life forms, making silly beeping noises.

A well deserved

Thank you both. I've got to go out for a couple of hours soon. I'll sort the scores out after that - don't want to rush and get them wrong.

Actually, I do have the habit of making silly beeping noises. Usually late on a Saturday night.

Actually that picture of Jack looks almost exactly like

I will watch those at some point Clive (I keep meaning to)

I just wrote everything down beforehand, and then kept a written note of points awarded as they came up. I've just gone through the whole thing double checking what I wrote down, and actually found one anomaly. Now I've just got to write it all up.
