What's that game? Degrees of separation? OK...

What, or rather who, links Tony Robinson (British Comedian/Actor) to Prince

1.

6.
7.

Seven degrees of separation...
...fancy a guess

I can do it in less than seven steps, if that's allowed in the game?

Tony Robinson played Baldrick in Blackadder

with Rowan Atkinson, who starred in Johnny English

with Natalie Imbruglia, who started her career in Neighbours

which also starred Kylie Minogue

who is rumoured to have recorded songs at Paisley Park where she met

Prince.

1. Tony Robinson (Blackadder)
2. Rik Mayall (Blackadder / The Comic Strip)
3. Jennifer Saunders (The Comic Strip / Ab.Fab)
4. Kristin Scott-Thomas (Ab.Fab / UTCM)
5. Prince (UTCM)

I think there's quite a few ways you could do that - esp. with all the Ab.Fab and Black Adder guest stars - Ab.Fab also had some Spice Girls in (connect to Mel B who interviewed Prince).


Also - I thought it was called '6 degrees' not '7 degrees'?

1. Tony Robinson (Maid Marion & Her Merry Men)
2. Danny John Jules (Labyrinth)
3. Jim Henson (Muppets)
4. Prince (Muppets Tonight)

Too easy, but if you have to include Kevin Bacon aswell...

1. Tony Robinson (Neverending Story III)
2. Jack Black (Neverending Story III / Enemy of the State)
3. Lisa Bonet (Enemy of the State / Angel Heart)
4. Mickey Rourke (Angel Heart / Diner)
5. Kevin Bacon (Diner / Sleepers)
6. Robert De Niro (Sleepers / The Untouchables)
7. Sean Connery (The Untouchables / Diamonds are Forever)
8. Lois Maxwell (Diamonds are Forever / Octopussy)
9. Steven Berkoff (Octopussy / Under the Cherry Moon)
10. Prince (Under the Cherry Moon)

Hold the phone...

1. Tony Robinson (Neverending Story III)
2. Jack Black (Neverending Story III / Tenacious D in the pick of Destiny)
3. John C. Reilly (Tenacious D in the pick of Destiny/ The River Wild)
4. Kevin Bacon (The River Wild / A Few Good Men)
5. Tom Cruise (A Few Good Men / Mission Impossible)
6. Kirstin Scott Thomas (Mission Impossible / Under the Cherry Moon)
7. Prince (Under the Cherry Moon)

Ta DAAAA!

Each and everyone fabulous, but none have mentioned the name Todd Carty... try and fit him in.

another one.


1. T. R (Never-ending-story )
2. J. Black ( Never blah-blah )
3 Will Smith ( Enemy/State)
4.Benny Medina ( Fresh Prince)
5.Prince ( http://prince.org/msg/7/259470 )

No Todd Carty takers? The link would still include Rik Mayall.

1. Todd Carty (Grange Hill)
2. Anna Quayle (A Hard Day's Night) - She was Mrs. Monroe in GH
3. George Harrison (Shanghai Surprise)
4. Madonna (Love Song)
5. Prince

Tremendous effort... but not a seven person link... AND doesn't also include Rik Mayall. Also, look to the top of the US box office.

OK

1. Todd Carty (Grange Hill/Eastenders)
2. Sean Maguire (Meet The Spartans)
3. Carmen Electra (Various Prince connections)
4. Prince

I still can't get a Rik Mayall connection
[Edited 1/31/08 2:06am]

Todd Carty to Prince - Good... Rik Mayall... he hasn't just appeared in groundbreaking UK sitcoms...

I'm trying to find some connection to An American Werewolf In London, co Rik Mayall was 'bloke in pub' in that

addendum... I would, of course, have put Bill Threlfall in between Sean Maguire and Todd Carty - Bill played Arthur Fowler in Eastenders, Mark's father (Carty) and Sean Maguire's surrogate - can't remember his charater's name.

Bill Treacher - Threlfall ? I honestly couldn't tell you.

Aiden, and his hideous Irish accent in Eastenders

Ah, Frank Oz was also in An American Werewolf In London with Rik Mayall - another Muppets connection.

I give up trying to do it in a certain number of moves. The whole point is usually to try and do it in as few as possible.

true... ok. Rik Mayall guested on The Bill... then you have the blackadder connection.

Rik Mayall - Clair de Lune with Serena Scott Thomas
Serena - sister of Kristin Scott Thomas
Kristin - Under The Cherry Moon

You could link Todd to Rik through Ade Edmonson too. He was in Holby City, as was Todd.
