Sadly, I will be away from this forum for the next 24 hours at least, so it only seems fair to let the questions keep coming, the answer is former Bonzo Dog band front man, Viv Stanshall.........Open Floor for anyone to doo dah to the next question!

It wasn't John Glenn in his spacecraft was it? Although I can't see how "accidental" could fit in with the first orbit of the three he made...

Towards the end of the filming of Brief Encounter the cast and crew were given an unexpected day off - why?
