    Surprised 'Mermaids' was Pointless, I assume the majority of 100 people went for the Addams Family films.

    Well I can :p but I'll put it down to my ignorance of musicals and my lack of interest which generates my ignorance.

    It's been a bad few days with a lack of sport and geography

    Would they have accepted "Rocky Horror Show" or would they have required the "Picture" in the name? I presume they'd not accept it.

    On The Town I think is a great answer if it's right but I wouldn't be sure of it. I'd go for Singin' In The Rain as my answer.

    Just back from the shops. 'Musicals' is my favourite subject.

    I know most of these but my answer is Hunk Zeke and Hickory, also known as Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Tinman from The Wizard of Oz.

    I often pause to think when questions are asked and then skip through the chat to catch up. Can usually catch up if it's not too far behind that way.

    Also when it comes to East Anglia I hope it's name players from Norwich City Football team, a certain person in my avatar could well be pointless :)
