Continuous Quiz: TV

[Dogmanjack]

Yes. Onwards....!

To try and get this thread going again:

Which British sit com’s character had the surname of either Lewis or Underwood (depending on which source it is taken from) but was hardly ever known by either surname ? (If anyone knows why there are alternative surnames for this character, I would be grateful if they would explain it as I have not been able to find out yet!).

[inspectorbucket]

Clue:

"They came out lovely and all, I'm sorry sir"

"What's all this Lewis....."

[inspectorbucket]

Further clue:

"Is this the tin that's missing?"

"That's the one sir"

"Pull yourself together Mr Birchwood"

[inspectorbucket]

The answer is Lukewarm from Porridge. In the episode about the tin of pineapple chunks, he is referred to as Lewis (hence the dialogue from the kitchen). In a later "mocumentary" about Fletcher's life after prison (called "Life Beyond The Box"), he is referred to a Timothy Underwood.

Following my spectacular failure to revive this thread, I will leave it for someone else to do so!

Well, I didn't participate for the simple reason that I didn't know the answer!

So I'll have a go at putting a question instead.

Following success as Arnold Rimmer in Red Dwarf, & the title character in The Brittas Empire, which sitcom was Chris Barrie's next starring project on UK TV, where he played an ex international footballer?

It was something like A Prince Among Men

[petewins57]

John, it was indeed.

Chris Barrie has been great to our charity fundraising group & did quizmaster duties on a number of occasions. A very funny & extremely likeable chap. Shame about Gary Prince, but they can't all be winners I suppose.

Your turn.

Thank you

What was the original name of the ill fated ITV digital channel?
