Q107. I know this is Watergate but this doesn't look like Nixon to me.

Q109. This is to do with Jeremy Thorpe, but it doesn't look like either him or Norman Scott.

Can anyone give me a clue to where these pictures have come from.

Thanks

I found this site useful for watergate

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/onpolitics/watergate/splash.html

I haven't found a picture of Norman Scott, would be grateful for a link if you have found one. I did assume it was him but then that has got me into trouble before!

You can never assume anything with quizmail. but I assumed the same.

Though I do belive they made an error this month about the childrens laureate. Am I wrong?

Suggest that you listen to Dave`s update in the matter of the laureate - he has amended the question.

Like both of you I am stuggling with 197 and 109. Have been following the same trails with no success.
I am also stuck with 105 - any clues please, I did think it might be one of the cambridge spy ring but not at all convinced.

[silly moo]

Thanks for that link wisemother.

Try watching the video on
http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/years/1963/default.st m
It helps with the Thorpe question.

Q107 Robert Redford may be of some help !

[wisemother]

Bobadob - Are you saying the answer is the person Redford played.  I don't think that is the right one.  The link above takes you to lots of pictures and I think one of them is closer to ours.

Sillymoo - thanks for the video link - my home computer won't crank up to a video so I will sneak a look at work tomorrow!

[Del424]

I think its the one that Dustin Hoffman played.

How can a video link from 1963 help with the thorpe question?

[Stevee]

Watergate - Not a reporter ihope this is an AIDE.

You have the the answer to Thorpe look for different photos..

Sorry I don't have the questions whats 105?

[wisemother]

stevee - 105 is another picture question.  Question asks for surname of the man involved in a sensational 1960s scandal.  I think heatherglens link to profumo gives us a definite answer.

Just found this for anyone still wanting confirmation for Q109
