IQ: Are your surviving children named Athena and Apollo (your younger son and your wife having been killed)?

No, I’m not Adama (Lorne Greene) from the original Battlestar Galactica.

Here’s a great early picture of him, BTW: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e4/Lorne_Greene.jpg

IQ: Were you knighted after becoming a police commissioner?

IQ: Do you have a Boomstick?

Dunno about either of those. Ask your DQs.

Sir John Appleby.

This has two possible answers in order to specify the question, but obviously you only need to know one name. (Although both X1 and X2 have A-names, I think it fair that if you can somehow think of another movie that fits the question without both being A-names you get it right).

IQ:Are you either:
A famous actor (call them “X1”) who became a game show host, or the actor (“X2”) who played the host of the same game show in an Oscar-winning movie? (Furthermore, X2 was not portraying X1, but X1 was portrayed by someone else in the movie.)

I think I understood that. No, I’m not Art Fleming.

Incorrect, unless you can point out an Oscar-winning movie that portrayed Art Fleming - was he in Network?

I was thinking of Slumdog Millionaire. Amitabh Bachchan was[is?] the host of the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. In the movie, Anil Kapoor plays the host of the show. The first question has the flashback in which another actor plays a young Bachchan signing autographs.

IQ: Does ‘The “d” [make] the difference’?
