I'm hopeless at this but something about 20's clue made me think of a model or maybe a model who has become an actress.  There aren't as many actresses/models who have darkened their hair as there are dark haired actresses/models who have reached for the hydrogen peroxide.  I wondered about French Bond girl/possessor of a dodgy English accent Eva Green but I'll take a stab with nordmann's countrywoman, Katie McGrath.  (Though somehow I don't see nordmann watching either 'Merlin' or 'Supergirl').

The photo of the young Dominic Cummings (no.12) I thought was a girl ... oops.

Anyway how about for no. 15, Pope Francis.

Is 29 Nancy Pelosi? The speaker of the American House of Representatives.

Nordmann, you left 'She split the Beatles up' off the litany of things that were laid at Yoko Ono's door.  She was set up as something of an Aunt Sally at one time as Megsy has more recently for trying to wreak havoc on the British royal family (I've no idea whether Megsy did or didn't but the royal family were already somewhat dysfunctional long e'er she came on the scene).

Number 25 is difficult. I'm getting 'Barcelona' from audio clue 1 and 'good foot' from clue 2. So I'm guessing a soccer player. The most famous Barcelona player I can think of was Johan Cruyff - so I'll try that.

Was the comment I made about a filmed play with one of the sproglets being shown as part of the lockdown fare considered inappropriate, nordmann.  Based on Vizzer's sleuthing above and based on the methodology of 'What Barcelona football players can I think of' I'll try Lionel Messi for 25.

"Inappropriate" sound like it was naughty. I just moved it to a more suitable thread.

Well done on getting the last bit of the puzzle!

I must apologise, nordmann.  I thought the comment I referred to had been deleted.  The credit for the last bit of the puzzle really should go to Vizzer, because I just used his interpretation of the clues and guessed a Barcelona player whose name I knew.

And that's the lot! Well done to everyone who managed to fast forward the faces to their non-cherubic form!

Number 36

Big sis Shirley Maclaine and little bro Warren Beatty, having undergone relative size inversions in the meantime.


Number 1

Deutschlands "mutter" indeed, Angela Merkel


Number 24

He looked stroppy and bad-tempered as a kid and so he grew up to be ... well, Kaiser Wilhelm II.


Number 33

In between we believe he did actually have hair for a while - the Shakespearian thespian who boldly went where a pay-cheque could be got for a bit of ham, Patrick Stewart.


Number 28

Too easy this one - he was apparently born 50+ years old with a sense of empathy as long as his hyphen and a sense of entitlement as long as himself. The reclining mantis and Beano character himself, Jacob Rees-Mogg


Number 35

The man who did for sci-fi films what Scientology does for brain cells - one-time disco craze and thick grease-ball, now no longer a disco craze, John Travolta


Number 21

The UK's most popular hyper talk-show talker (or in Ireland simply referred to as a Corkman) Graham Norton


Number 4

The "I can play any role as long as it's a Cumberband" man himself - Benedict Cumberbatch


Number 18

Not quite as thonkers as they bought him allegedly - renowned farmer, colony loser, and all-round inbred bricklayer, George III of some kip called Hanover (near England apparently)


Number 3

Much more than just a bubbly gangster moll with two principal assets - product of the respected Aida Foster School of Acting in Golders Green, actor Barbara Windsor


Number 6

The imitation buffoon, lackey of the moneyed elite, and evolutionary aberration which the Darwinian process has been doing its damnedest lately to correct - the "Man Who Would Be Boris" Johnson


Number 9

The big question being "Who got custody of the tattoo artist?" - alleged actor though now full time celebrity-minus-the-cerebrity professional divorcee, Brad Pitt


Number 11

Yes, we're looking at you Bob! Taxi driver turned restaurateur with an illustrious career as tough guy impersonator in between, though nowadays mostly a Robert De Niro impersonator - Robert Anthony De Niro


Number 30

A career whose undoubted peak was as support act for ABBA in the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, this one time Xanaduian has since overcome much personal tragedy, including being cast opposite John Travolta in "Grease" - Olivia Newton John


Number 32

Ex-condiment, mother of a New York borough, wife of the helium-voice eejit whose flailing appendage cost England the 1998 World Cup, and fashion trend setter who has ensured that even the humblest allotment beanpole can now be chic - Victoria "Posh" Beckham


Number 37

The woman who, with Charles Manson, was blamed for ending the 60s and therefore hastening the advent of Little Jimmy Osmond, elephant flares, and pop culture highlights such as "Agadoo doo-doo" - conceptual artist and warbler extraordinaire, Yoko Ono


Number 16

Can't sing and can't act - just the ingredients these days for attaining worldwide stage and screen success. A guy indistinguishable from the CGI surrounding him in every film in which he "stars" (as in "occupies space"), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson


Number 19

One of England's most successful footballers whose achievements amounted to one Spanish cup, one defunct European cup, a metal boot, and a crisp flavour named after him. Gary Lineker's pride in "never being booked" continued into his lucrative TV career and choice of personal accountants, as the Barbados tax authorities found to their cost.


Number 2

The man who proved to the world the dangers involved in steroids abuse and potential brain damage (one could end up Governor of California), and revered in Japan where short-sightedness is a common problem as "Shwa-chan" (cute little Schwartzie) - Arnold Alois Schwartzenegger



Number 31

Dubbed "The Queen of Sci-Fi" because she has starred in an astounding four films of the genre (last in 1997), the woman whose first name alone would have left her a Holocaust statistic in Nazi Germany - Sigourney Weaver



Number 14

Up there with Kray, Varney and "Fall And Rise Of ..." as one of the England's most famous Reggies and whose recent hit movie biopic was brutally honest about his own worst vices, including alcohol and drug abuse, Princess Di fandom, helping make The Lion King etc - the venerable Dame Elton John (did I get that right?)



Number 27

The man with a passion for all things vintage - his cars, his house, his wine, his bodyguards' IQ levels - and with a wife to prove it, president of a country that Brexiteers deride and live in with equal determination, and officially one half of an Andorran Prince duo - Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron


Number 17

She may not have been born this way, but there are a million reasons why this perfect illusion of a tramp, no matter how shallow, is rightly recognised by papparazzi and poker-face alike as one Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - or, as the world knows her, Lady Gaga


Number 5

The 78 year-old who came off second best to a 77 year-old in the race to oust a 73 year-old presently squatting at an address in Philadelphia Avenue (enough to make you wonder if the US truly has a great future behind it) - Bernard "No Middle Initial" Sanders


Number 8

Not quite the face that launched a thousand ships, more the voice that sank one 50,000 tonne liner. "My Heart Will Go On" she wailed, even as everyone in the cinema fervently prayed for a cardiac arrest - Canada's titanic songstress (emphasis on "stress") herself, Celine Dion


Number 7

The man whose rifle-toting hands are now well and truly both cold and dead, who famously ordered Yul Brynner to let his extras go, and who found a much improved version of New York while out horse-riding on a beach - John Charles Carter (better known to apes of a higher IQ as Charlton Heston)



Number 22

In the news most recently (at least in Berkshire) after he and his internationally renowned human rights lawyer wife Amal won what must be their most significant legal achievement to date - the locally contested right to build an outside loo in their back garden; George Timothy Clooney


Number 23

No stranger to being publicly decorated - from strategically attached bananas to the Légion d'Honneur- the dancer, actress, WWII Resistance spy, and such a valiant champion of civil rights for blacks that she was barred entry to her home country the USA - St Louis-born Freda McDonald, who the world would come to know and admire as Josephine Baker

Number 34

His violence these days seemingly confined mostly to his literary output (his recent novel has the protagonist brutally murdering old-age pensioners with a mallet to reduce his carbon footprint - no, seriously, it does), one-time "Hollywood Hard Man" and beloved of paparazzi insurance sellers, Sean Justin Penn


Number 10

Everybody loves somebody sometime, and Dino Paul Crocetti certainly tested this "amore" theory quite rigorously in his own love life. Yet, fairly uniquely for Hollywwod legends of his era, not even his several ex-wives (or indeed mistresses, offspring, colleagues, Jerry Lewis etc) had a bad word to say about him when he died in 1995 - the very un-ratlike Dean Martin


Number 12

The man who saved Britain from the Euro, then Europe, and now democracy; whose Joe 90 spectacles, having already helped him acquire the brain patterns of a strategist, an economist, disaster capitalist and information technologist, have now apparently qualified him as a virologist, the self-declared mastermind behind Boris Johnson's now understandably abandoned policy of involuntary euthanasia a.k.a. "herd immunity" - Dominic Cummings


Number 13

Living testimony to the success of self-taught, self-administered taxidermy (it's the quantity of the chemicals, not the quality), the man whose father may or may not have got up his nose, and probably the one individual on the planet who Covid-19 has absolutely no intention of ever setting foot in for fear of its little half-life - Keith Richards


Number 15

Whisky (without the "e") advocate, supporter of priests marrying (presumably women) as long as they live in the Amazon, the guy who says his church should welcome gays (to confession), and who generally has set his mind to dragging the Vatican kicking and screaming into the 18th century - Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the first non-European pope since Syria had a crack at it 1,300 years ago, known to the world as Pope Francis I


Number 20

She's been QE 1, QE 2, Queen Charlotte, Catherine the Great, and even the Snow Queen in her time - and when not dressed regally prefers not to be dressed at all, apparently. One of the world's best known (and loved) naturists, who else could it be but the prime suspect herself - Helen Mirren?



Number 29

As a misogynist anyway Trump has to notch the levels of abuse ever so much higher for this lady who is only one Pence away from president should something unfortunate ever fortunately happen to the other two. "Crazy", "retarded", and (weirdly enough) "a man" (amongst other stuff we're not allowed print as children may be reading) have all been levelled by the orange one against the current House Speaker, Nancy Patricia Pelosi


Number 26

The farce has always been strong with this one - Wolverhampton Wanderers supporter, author of the Black Pearl graphic novel series, president of the Laurel & Hardy Society, member of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and he's probably famous for other things too ... Mark Hamill


Number 25

His father-cum-agent fiddled his taxes and risked imprisonment for both of them, his own club hired "bots" and "mongers" to spread dark rumours about him on social media, his endocrinologist made a small fortune selling stories about his growth hormone deficiency to the papers - yes, with this level of love from family, club and friends alike, there is - as the chant goes - only one Lionel Messi (so let's squeeze as much dosh out of him as possible while the going's good).

Congratulations LiR for getting that last one at only the second go. I had visions of us spending the rest of lockdown and beyond listing off reams of current and former Barcelona players until we finally got the right one.

Thanks to nordmann for an enjoyable quiz - and a playlist too as an added bonus!

I was puzzled by that comment Trike, as I had fondly imagined that all previous quizzes had been completed. And yet looking back down The Eagle and Child board it is indeed the case that some of the picture quizzes remain unsolved. There is Picture 2 on the Cherubs, Imps and Assorted Devils quiz and also Pictures 4, 8, 11 and 16 on the Chisellers, Weans, Tikes and Sprogs quiz. The clues on those quizzes, however, are now defunct and I note that you and nordmann actually discussed this on the Cherubs thread. So maybe they’ll be revived at some point.

Quizzes last normally between a week and a fortnight, which unfortunately just exceeds the average huff interval here so it is not uncommon that they lose that race.

The defunct ones would be a bit of work to resurrect as they used flash audio, which is no longer supported (flash did its own huff a while back, stormed off and took its hack-ridden software ball with it).

I'm still tickled that South Park was confused with The Muppets. I think Parker and Stone would take that as the ultimate compliment - and they don't get too many!
