So, who can beat me?

Two: news journalists Rippon 'n Krishnan

Now I've read the names I'll add Les Dennis in his bleach washed photo - the rest I never even heard of.

Krishnan Guru Murthy is a big music fan and plays guitar very well.

To be fair, by the time you exclude all the past contestants (how many years has this been running), those for whom you'd not get life insurance cover (I believe it can get quite active), and celebrities who might be exposed mid-series as Brand-esque, you've probably not got many properly famous people left ...

Started 2004, apparently, and tbf celebrities didn't stop becoming celebs 19 years ago.

I did think Annablel Croft’s photo was Kirstie Alley but then remembered how old she is now (and what she looks like now.)

I hope you're sitting down, this may come as a shock... Kirstie Alley died last year. No Cheers reunion.

I only recognised 2, Angela Ripon and Les Dennis

DB1 · September 2023

Less Dennis and Angela Rippon were the only two that I recognised - if I'd have looked a bit closer, I'd have recognised and named Annabel Croft, I reckon, but the rest of them were a complete bloody mystery to me.

axisus · September 2023

Us real oldies all recognise Angela Rippon and Les Dennis! To be honest they were both in the limelight a long time ago.

Nobody my age will forget Angela on the Morcambe & Wise show, one of the iconic 70s TV moments!

One does not have to be old to know that moment.

GoFish · September 2023

TBF those pictures have had a lot of virtual vaseline on the lens!

I could probably get the 4 oldies - Not sure I'd even remember Annabel Croft, but once her name's mentioned it's easy enough.

Jade Goodie's son? Bloody hell!

I actually felt a teeny twinge at that one.

Two: Angela Rippon and Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Three, if "Her out of that thing" counts as a positive identification for Amanda Abbington.

Bobby Brazier is Jade Goody's son. Who I'm sure many will remember.

And is Brazier his real name, or is his talent the ability to hold a scoopful of burning coals in his mouth?

Sassafras · September 2023

The only one I recognised was Keir Starmer (bottom row in the middle)

Maybe when they make the Keir Starmer biopic.

Only if we got him from an alternative reality where he ceased to age and took up hypnosis instead.

Damn, who's next? Cozy Powell? (That one is for the Singletrackworld posse.)

EricTheWeary · September 2023

I remember Jade Goodie from Big Brother partly because she gave an on screen blow job to a chap I share the same initials as. Not much of a claim to fame admittedly (for him or me). After BB was on Channel 4 it would go to the Graham Norton show and he would make horrible pig jokes about her. The cuddly image he has portrayed in later years does slightly rankle with me because of that. Maybe I'll vote for Bobby as an anti Graham Norton protest.

Well there you go, you may not watch TV or know who celebrities are, but I have absolutely no idea what Singletrackworld is.

Brio · September 2023

Don't worry, you're in the majority.

crunchman · September 2023

The four you knew, plus Angela Scanlon, who was on the Robot Wars reboot a few years ago.

RocknRollDave · September 2023

Angela Rippon has a bit of a head start on her training - she danced on Morecambe and Wise’s show about 84 years ago

HAL9000 · September 2023

Middle of bottom row looks like a less wooden version of Sir Kier Starmer when he was younger and better looking.
Edit - ah, just spotted I was beaten to it.

Tannin · September 2023

A clean sweep for me. I don't recognise all 15.

It is for hot eligible racy single males like yourself...

I think, Sir, you may have mistaken me for someone else.

roberty · September 2023

I recognised only the newsreader but did not know his name. I don't have a TV because normal people scare me. I'm quite cut off from the world of entertainment

Nitefly · September 2023

Apart from Angela Ripon, I recognised (but couldn't name) the newsreader chap, and the one in the middle used to be in Emmerdale (Our Maud being a regular viewer).

The one you're all saying is Les Dennis? I thought it was John Inman. Turns out he's been dead or 16 years...

skunkwerx · September 2023

I dont recognise any of them. I thought I recognised one as a news guy but its not him.

Keiko · September 2023

5 - I know their names. Angela Rippon, Les Dennis, Annabel Croft, Krishan Guru Murphy, Angela Scanlon.

4 - I know their faces but don't know their names. bird at top left was on the maltesers advert, bloke at the bottom middle used to be on eastenders, bloke in the very middle is/was on emmerdale, brother of that annoying bloke that used to be on coronation street, bird on the right is off of coronation street.

6 - I genuinely don't know, and wouldn't look twice if they passed me on the street.

I got 3. What do I win?

6Music have been running a trailer for “Celebrity race round the world “ it’s a measure of how out of touch I am that I hadn’t heard of any of them.

I saw the start of that last night. I sort of knew who they were when they were explained to me, their numbers bulked out by relatives. After twenty minutes I lost all interest and watched campervans on YouTube instead.

Oh no, it'll be Joe Cocker next!

Howdy, Stranger!
