    And Gazza Snell is the third, a 2010 NZ film.

    How about a Horrendous H?

      Well done Norfy, I'd got Crow = Magpie, then of course I was off on the trail of Russell Crowe instead of being sensible

        Which 'H' assisted another 'H' at a venue where a third 'H' also found fame performing in works associated with that venue?

              You're looking for a Christian name.

                      By jove I think you may have hit upon it, Watson!
                      "...the isle is full of noises,
                      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                        Caliban, I hope you're listening to The Enchanted Island - the Baroque Pastichio from the Met. Old Caliban's getting quite an outing, if that's the right word.

                          Done that gag... http://www.for3.org/forums/showthrea...139#post120139

                          It's being recorded, otherwise engaged at present (work since 2pm )

                          I was going to suggest a visit to one of the cinema showings. Are you and Lady Rubberknickers going to indulge?

                            Hans Knappertsbusch spent some time at Bayreuth as an assistant to Hans ....... The third Hans is allterative.

                                Well done ammy! (Now I can watch 'Borgen' safe in the knowledge that all the Hanses have been identified).
