Our cinematic question caught a few out, but lots of you knew your Mel Gibson from your Mel Brooks.
It took a bit of historical research to get the answer to yesterday’s puzzler to try and get your hands on a golden mouthpiece from our friends at Denis Wick.
Thursday answer
Our question was: 'What is the British Open cinematic connection between a trumpet playing judge who has made a single appearance in the box, a test piece on which Roy Newsome has won and the brilliant children’s magician and entertainer Ali Bongo – the ‘Shriek of Araby'!
The answer:
The answer of course was the film 'Braveheart'.
Trumpeter John Wallace made a single appearance in the box in 1996, Roy Newsome won on ‘Freedom’ (the final cry from a soon to disembowelled Mel Gibson in the film!) and Ali Bongo’s real name was William Wallace.
The lucky winner was Keith Russell.
Friday quiz connection:
