How scary is it that it was exactly that little known programme that I was thinking about when I posted Gary in the first place, We may well be the only 2 people left in the world who remember it!

I remember it too! I had a big crush on him many moons ago!!

1 Ok Danny De Vito was in Get Shorty with John Travolta,
2 John Travolta was in Saturday Night Fever with songs by the Beegees
3 The beegees sang tragedy which was covered by Steps
4 The brunette one from steps goes out with that guy who was (very briefly) in hearsay
5 Kim Marsh from hearsay goes out with Jack Ryder who was in 'enders
6 Chrissy from 'enders was in Big Train with Mark Heap!

If you go to page 4 of this thread, I used Gary Lineker as a link from Pavarotti. I wonder if this later suggestion was subliminally picked up from that?

Beethoven

Is it OK to have another go at this?
Beethoven was played in a biopic called 'Immortal Beloved' (great film) by Gary Oldman; G.O.was in 'H.Potter& Gob.of Fire alongside Mark Williams; M.W.was in 'Carrie and Barry' (a Neil Morrissey vehicle) alongside Michelle Gomez.

Still working on Beethoven the real person.

Try Reg Varney.

Please can I have one more go at Beethoven? It doesn't depend on imdb either!!
Beethoven was a pupil of Haydn
Haydn visited London and met George IV
George IV met Queen Victoria (his niece)
Queen Victoria met George VI (her great grandson)
George VI's daughter is QE II
QE II opened Northwick Park Hospital in 1970.

Forgot to add one

Sigmund Freud?

Ok Sigmund Fread via the Bill and Ted route!

SF was a character in the first Bill and Ted film starring Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves was in the matrix
There was a fab matrix scene in spaced involving Nick Frost getting very trigger happy
Spaced starred Mark Heap

Milla Jovovich

Hokey Cokey (pig in a pokey) Sorry *represses League fan side of self* Had to look her up, but here we go...

1) Milla Jojovich was in Chaplin which starred Robert Downey Junior, HOWEVER
2) The rather delectable Mr. Depp was considered for the role
3) Mr. Depp was in PotC with the equally delicious Mr. Davenport, who is married to...(see where this is going?)
4) Michelle Gomez, AKA Sue white in the wonderful, wonderful Green Wing.

Ok, how about Julia Roberts.

Julia Roberts, Notting Hill, JRT

.

the league of gentlemen ROCKS! there is a road called "new road" on the way to the station from my house, and whenever i walk past it i cant help but smile!

apparantely the local shop for local people is up on the hillside near my new house, I'll definitely be visiting that!

haha wicked!! i loved that show, until it turned really dark in series 3, i stopped after watching the first ep :S

I never really got it, my sister loves it and keeps trying to get me into it, but I think I'm missing something!
The funniest thing about it is though that I took the micky out of a bloke I went to uni with for having the same phone area code as the league of gentlemen and now I;m moving to that same area code d'oh (luckily I don't see him anymore so he'll never know!)

OMG I've always wanted to see the local shop! double cool with knobs on!
Mel21 - Did you stop watching after THAT bit with Pauline and Ross? I know several people who have never got past that bit..
I'm completely obsessed with it.

Captain Wipey - Which code is that? it's not 444 is it? or is that just really wishful thinking on my part? *blushes*

APOLOGIES!

And now, back on topic..

This is a bit obscure, so I'm not sure if it'll count..

1) John Wayne was in loads of westerns
2) Butch Cassidy and the Su...(that's BUTCH cassidy) and the Sundance Kid was a western..
3) Mac and Guy argues in 1:9 over who is who in that film.

Told you it was a bit dodgy link-wise!

...........................................

Completely obsessed with the League of Gentlemen, not with THAT bit. That would just be sick. And sick I may be, but not to that extent.

And for the linking thing...erm...David Bowie.

David Bowie sang the song 'Life On Mars' after which the TV program was named.
That starred Philip Glenister, whose brother, Robert Glenister is in Jane Hall with Stephen Mangan.

JK Rowling

The guy who wrote that (one of them) is doing a follow up called Breakfast With Jonny Wilkinson. It's starting as a stage play like the first one did, but it may end up on TV too. I only know this because the actor/director whose website I maintain (Jonathan Guy Lewis) is directing it for stage at this moment. It's going to the Edinburgh Fringe apparently.

Ok,
1. jk wrote hp and is involved with the films which star:
2.Emma Thompson who was in sense and sensibility
3. Jane Austen wrote this and P&P
4. P&P starred lucy davis as maria
5. She worked with Tamsin Grieg in Black Books

Aaaaaaaand......spongebob
