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.

The full answer to question 3 is Bernard Hill, who played Captain Smith in "Titanic" and King Theoden in "Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King".

Question 8: Rex Harrison (who sang "Talk To The Animals" from "Dr. Dolittle" in 1967) and Noel Harrison (who sang "Windmills Of Your Mind" from "The Thomas Crown Affair" in 1968)

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 ?

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-ZEP

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.

There is a hamlet in Pembrokeshire called Egypt, so you can go there by car (or bike).
