OK people, I need help (not that kind of help).

I have the following pictures that I need to identify. Can anyone help? I believe that there is a theme to the people but I don't know what it is.

No need to PM the answers - just post up your suggestions/definite answers here. There are no prizes, but as we're trying to identify mystery people I decided it an go in the Quizzes section. So, any ideas?

Ithink the theme may be George. Second from right bottom row is definitely David Lloyd George. Ithink first on left bottom row is a young George III, before he went mad, when he was Prince Regent. Difficult to tell apart second from right top row and second from left bottom row, but I think the former is George Frederick Handel.

... and second from left top row possibly George Canning?

I think it is British Prime Ministers.

Looking at the pictures at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_prime_ministers

4 is the Duke of Newcastle
8 is Viscount Melbourne
10 is Lord North

Greatkingrat is correct. Ignore my earlier suggestion (except two I spotted were Prime Ministers). Top left is definitely 'Squiffy' Asquith.

I had tried everything except Prime Ministers! Bah. But yes, it looks like you could be right here. Thanks!

On a separate subject, what do people know about Paul Dirac and his discover of, and theories on antimatter?

I have a couple of graphs which form a puzzle I need to solve, and I haven't the faintest idea what I'm looking for?

It's probably fairer to say that Dirac predicted the existence of the positron (antimatter equivalent of the electron), but he didn't actually discover it experimentally himself.

Know much about such things then?

I guess so.

Well, I've read 'The Strangest Man' Graham Farmelo's award winning biography of Dirac, and coincidentally I'm going to the Royal Society this Friday to hear Farmelo talk about Dirac.
