General knowledge

Yes. Great song. I said it was easy.

.... And I waited a day before respomding. I really like the Untanks' re-working..


Still racking, wracking or wrecking my brain for the next question ..... keep breathing normally!

I hope this is sufficiently devious to void Go Ogle and the like:

Can you link ...
a Robin Hood that had more to do with the "Hollywood Blacklist" than English folklore
... to ...
Roger Waters' mental condition?

Not for the moment - no.

That Unthanks song didn't appear to have any resemblance to Shipbuilding.........

Oh heck Chas, you do make thinks difficult, I had to do a Google to find out who Roger Waters was and I am still none the wiser where to start for an answer!!

Susie

And I'm not aware of Roger Waters' having any significant mental condition. Must refer to a song title.........

Basically, there are two people to identify, who form the link, individually and together.

I think we need a bit more of a clue Chas, I have no idea where to start

Start wherever you wish but when to start would be the late 50s and early 60s.

There's a rebuffed Beatle on the periphery.

Would Stu Sutcliffe be in this mix?

No, a little after his time.

However, a cake mix could be involved.

Pete Best?

Sorry, no.

it was one of "The Fab Four" but he was very much peripheral.

Think about Robin Hood ....

Ringo Starr?

Or are we speaking of the tribute band? I'm getting precisely nowhere with this.

Three to go! Not Ringo.

Think back to the early days of ITV, then about "supporting cast" members.

Goodness me, you are making a (high calorie) meal of it! I expected you to hit a wall at the other end of this chain.

Are we looking for an actor who played Robin Hood in the 60's?

Richard Greene played Robin Hood. I suspect it's one of the others.

Patricia Driscoll was Maid Marian......

Now then, Jane Asher was apparently in that, and used to go out with Paul McCartney. Am I getting warm?

Errol Flynn played Robin Hood

Lydia, you could be right about Jane Asher.....she makes cakes doesn't she? I also wonder if there's any connection with her father, who was a doctor and psychologist I think. (The Roger Waters mental condition connection?)

Well done Lydia and Feathers, you are off in the right direction.

There is a familial link from Jane Asher to Roger Waters but it's not her father. Think multi-media performance art.

There is justt one person left to identify.

No, that was the film - the tv series star was Richard Greene.
