Continuous Quiz: News

[EwanM]

Was just checking this today in the hope it might come up in a pub quiz tonight...it didn't. It's bound to come up soon though - Eleanor Catton.

[davidsaunders]

Correct and when it does come up, there may be a question about it being the longest winner or the last one that is only open to writers from The Commonwealth and Ireland.

[EwanM]

Indeed, these points all duly noted, David.
Which actor, who played the lead role in a highly-rated TV series, recently received fan mail from none other than Anthony Hopkins, congratulating him on "the best acting I have seen - ever!"

[Wytch]

Benedict Cumberbatch?

[EwanM]

Not Cumberbatch, this was a critically acclaimed US TV series.

[petewins57]

Damien Lewis

[EwanM]

Not Lewis either, and not a British actor.

[RobJones]

Bryan (sp?) Cranston from Breaking Bad?

[EwanM]

Correct.

[RobJones]

Thanks, I will get around to watching it one day. Only seen the first episode.
