            Well done rubbernecker (again!). It's some consolation that I probably wouldn't have got it however long I'd had to work at it.

              But does she have the wobbly jowls, the jutting jawline and the way with a cape, Anna?

              And the twinkling eyes?

              What a gal!

                  Thanks, Ofca, but we can't be sure it's correct until the man flutters his cape...

                    My bro aged 11 meanwhile was listing Ursula Andress, Alexandra Bastedo and Diana Rigg, much to Dad's relief

                    Anyone know how I could alter the pic so Mags is looking to the right rather than to the left?


                    Oh Lord! Alexandra Bastedo That takes me back! "The Protectors" ... the three of them, standing in front of the Lac Geneva fountain during the opening titles!! I saw one recently - La Bastedo's acting style can best be described as 'wooden'...

                    I have Apple computers at home, and to swap a pic round you control+click on the picture and select 'edit in Preview' and then you have a "tools' option which allows you to "flip horizontal" But on the PC at work, I seem to recall it's easier - there is a "flip horizontal" option whenever you edit a picture: you have to look around in the various options.

                    But the key words either way are "flip horizontal"

                    Look forward to seeing Margaret looking t'other way
                    "...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..."

                        Such modesty!
                        I've decided it's time to take my leave for good.
                        I'm not quick enough to get the answers, and more often than not I don't even get the jokes.
                        Still, it was fun for quite a while.
                        Best wishes.

                          I think you mean The Champions, o oafish one. And, as it happens, I have recently met Ms. Bastedo, sharing as we do, a mutual friend. I however refrained from disburthening myself to her of my childhood onanistic fantasies.

                              One of my messages is missing.

                              Here it is again:

                              Nicely done, rubbernecker. Yours is the N.

                              Message to Amateur51: please check your PM inbox. You will have the answer to your problem.

                              I never met Margaret Rutherford but I did once travel on a train from Edinburgh to Glasgow sharing a compartment with Athene Seyler. I once shocked Coral Browne.

                                Quick, Captain, Mr. Ofca's leaving the tent to go out into the snow. Stop him!
