Intelligent, but not unbeatable. After several impressive hits, including once when I was thinking of myself, I managed to stump it. I was thinking of Moore Marriott, one third of the trio including Will Hay and Graham Moffatt - some of you may know him from the classic Gainsborough Pictures comedy Oh, Mr Porter! ("The next train's gone!"). It came up with Will Hay at first, then Charlie Drake, Alistair Sim and Arthur Askey, before admitting defeat.
