Oops! Broke the rules… Back to **Jack Brodsky** - whoever he is! ---

> [@roger thornhill](#): > > Oops! Broke the rules… > > Back to **Jack Brodsky** - whoever he is! You know him, he founded the group Brodsky Beat, along with Jimmy Sommerville. Sommerville split with Brodsky to form a group called the Communards before going on to a solo career. Okay, seriously, Brodsky is better known as the producer of films such as _Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex_\*, _Romancing the Stone_, _King Ralph_ and _Daddy Daycare_. He was only in a handful of films as an actor, the one you’re mostly likely to have heard of is a lesser known Woody Allen vehicle which is, I believe, set in Paramus. I’d not heard of the guy either and had to look him up in IMDB, which is why I’m not going to place a response. Someone else will get it. ---

Yeah, but that movie annoys me no end. And really, only two principle characters. **Harry & Walter Go to New York** has a few more options. ---

Er. Princi_pal_ characters. Woody Allen is not the most principled guy in the world. Not even in his movies. ---

> [@cbawlmer](#): > > Dennis Dugan was in _Harry and Walter Go to New York_. I’m drawing a blank on his film work, but I was just wondering the other day if anyone else remembered a show called _Richie Brockelman: Private Eye_. When you get older the oddest things sometimes pop into your brain unsummoned. Note: this is a TV show so doesn’t count. ---

And if that’s the actor in question (I didn’t know his name, but I know his face), then I know he was the _Unidentified Flying Oddball_ from the Disney dark ages (although I liked that one). It was renamed for TV later: [something]_in King Arthur’s Court_. ---

I think the writers at Disney fall back on [something] _in King Arthur’s Court_ about every ten years. They just can’t seem to stop themselves. It’s like…killing off the maternal character in the first ten minutes. Pat Roach ---

I’ll take the cheap way with _Alfred Hitchcock_. > [@roger thornhill](#): > > vd: I used to live 7.96 mile west and 1 mile north of E Grinstead. My sympathies. Since you bring it up, is it clear that the unit there is megameters? I was going for a little puzzle there, but I’m not sure it’s not too cryptic. I just picked East Grinstead as a unique place-name on my latitude and on the prime meridian. I never thought somedoper might actually be from there. ---
