9 Anthony Hopkins
First to 100000 in the 2015+ Tumbleweed contest. Winner of a few rounds of a diverse range of quizzes/games. Some decent times in alternative challenges as a fiftysomething who merely walks briskly. Briefly led All The Actons.

The full answer to question 9 is Anthony Hopkins for playing Hannibal Lecter in "Silence Of The Lambs".

I'm going to call this round soon. I'll give DrainBrain the point for question 3 unless he or someone gives the proper answer.
Question 8 is perhaps harder to Google than I imagined. I found a page on Wikipedia that lists all the "Best Original Song" winners, but it list the composers (who actually get the Oscars) and I'm after the father and son who sang the songs for the films in question.

Re: Dastardly difficult trivia quiz
I'm always happy to answer, guess or Google trivia questions on any subject. I'm easy, but maybe it's worth trying to focus on London and/or transport themes here though ?

Re: Dastardly difficult trivia quiz
Here's a transport related question...
In aviation, IATA codes are the three letter codes that represent destinations on tickets and baggage tags. For instance CDG is Paris Charles de Gaulle and LHR is London Heathrow.
What is the quickest way to get from LGW to ZEP?

Correct! See http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=LGW-ZEPDavidC wrote:Gatwick Express
I suppose ZEP was seen more often back in the days when you could check in to your flight at Victoria before getting on the Gatwick Express.
