    Probably not the answer you're looking for Beth, but I'm going for Tommy Harrington.

    Back in the eighties, some friends were at a fancy dress party and got into a disagreement afterwards with some off-duty coppers over a cab. The coppers were dressed as caricature Aussies (hats with corks etc.) whilst one of my mates was dressed as an american motorcycle cop, and the other was the Hoffmeister bear. The motorbike cop was nicked by the real police and, back at the station, overheard the guy who'd nicked him saying to the desk sergeant 'Yeah we've got TJ Hooker - we're still looking for the bear'.

    As much as I'd like Stroller answer to be correct, I reckon George is more likely!

    Which actor died in the year 2000, just over half a century after he had had a stroke, fallen off a weir, been shot, drowned, poisoned and involved in two explosions and an aircrash?

    Definitely Sir Alec Guinness. The deaths are all from Kind Hearts and Coronets.

    Back to you Grinners

    Great film.

    A woman was born in the summer of 40BC, and died two months after her 60th birthday.
    What year did she die in ?

    Correct Roller; the numbering goes from 1BC to 1AD, there is no year zero.

    Here is one that will be right up Sooperhoop's street...

    What, in London, has at various times served as a zoo, an observatory, a mint and a prison?
