Don’t know if anyone has ever tried this game but the premise (well, my premise anyways) is to get as few links from one TV personality to another. Tenuous links are frowned upon as long as there is a genuine link to another person, writer, director, whatever in there, not like “Mick Jagger once sneezed on Princess Anne who…”. For example: John DiMaggio > Patrick Stewart: John Di Maggio is the voice of Bender in Futurama which has been written by David A Goodman, who was also a writer on Family Guy , to which Patrick Stewart was a guest voice. There’s no true answer. But the shorter, the better. It can be up to 6 links but no more. I just wondered how far this could go… Whoever gets the link in 6 or less sets the next link. So i’ll start off: SIMON PEGG > CRAIG CHARLES in 6 or less moves. Good luck!

September 18, 2008 at 8:50 pm #84583 Seb PatrickKeymaster Right, so as to treat Andrew’s one seriously : Kathy Burke was in Sid & Nancy with Gary Oldman (and appeared in Nil by Mouth, directed by him) Gary Oldman appeared in Friends, as did Jeff Goldblum Jeff Goldblum starred in The Fly, and I really don’t need to tell Andrew of all people who directed that.

Zippy from Rainbow > John Hoare September 18, 2008 at 11:19 pm #84591 ChrisMParticipant >Zippy from Rainbow > John Hoare They both have at least one zipper. There, did it in one. And I didn’t make a cruel joke either. Alan Carr – Russell Crowe. September 18, 2008 at 11:50 pm #84593 pfmParticipant > They both have at least one zipper Not good enough… Zippy appeared (with George) in Ashes To Ashes, starring Keeley Hawes, who’s surname, when you forget about the ‘s’, sounds a bit like ‘Hoare’, which is the surname of John Hoare. No wait…she was mistaken for a whore – the character, not the actress, though Keeley Hawes IS fucking fit so I could see why she might… – which sounds like ‘Hoare’. (how about that for a revelation…) Hang on….this is it properly now…Keeley Hawes was in ‘Hotel!’ with Henry Naylor, who has the same surname as Doug Naylor (co-creator and writer of the popular ’80s scientific sitcom, Ded Rwarf), who appeared as a character in some wank fan film on a DVD at some point, which featured John Hoare. Done!!

It’s gonna take some crazy connections. Here we go… Maurice LaMarche was the voice of Orson Welles in Tim Burton’s Ed Wood Tim Burton directed Planet of the Apes, the original of which starred Roddy McDowall Roddy McDowall co-starred in the TV series The Pirates of Dark Water with Jodi Benson Jodi Benson was in Flubber (as the voice of Weebo) which was the fucking remake of The Absent-Minded Professor starring none other than Fred MacMotherfuckingMurray!!!
