Also which actor lined up to replace Sean Connery as James Bond was eventually rejected due to problems/concerns related to his alcohol consumption?[/QUOTE] For the composer i will say Mozart. For the actor i will say Richard Burton.[/QUOTE]

Wrong unfortunately on both counts. Mozart although prolifc, he was more of a symphony, quartet, opera man.

You're along the right lines with Richard Burton, but a few years later...

Is it fair to be asking Great Brain Quiz questions here? Are you sharing the prize money with people who give you the answers?

What's the Great Brain Quiz?

Doesn't bother me. The first 2 questions we got wrong anyway! And the latest I believe are old as Mr Joxer knows the answers. Which is more than I do, bloody Glenda bloody Jackson...

the james bond question,is it anthony hopkins?

No, it's an Englishman.

The Glenda question, is he among these? Peter O'Toole, Kenneth Brannagh, Brian Cox, Alan Rickman, Ben Kingsley, Nigel Hawthorne or Michael Gambon?

am i allowed to ask a question or is jox the only one allowed to ask? :D

Anyone can ask, I've got two on the go on the previous page.
