This week we have come up with a little brain teaser about film music – with a bit of a brass band connection to get your hands on a great trio of the latest CDs, plus a 4BR diary and a couple of bottles of Blue Juice valve oil.
Question:
Which composer links Ingrid Bergman as a missionary in China, Sir Alec Guinness as a bonkers bridge building Lieutenant Colonel in war time Burma and George Cole as a spiv in a boisterous girls school with a transvestite headmistress.
Clue:
He also wrote a Nationals test piece too.
Weekend quiz answer:
Thanks to everyone who delved deep into their literacy Wikipedia sources to find out that it was John Philip Sousa who was responsible (if that is the right word for it) for the 1916 article called, "A Horse, a Dog, a Gun and a Girl" in which he postulated that, "My idea of heaven is a horse, a dog, a gun and a girl.
A man should give his horse loving care, because it is one of man’s two most loyal companions. The other is the dog."
What a strange chap ...

The winner:
Congratulations to Anthony Henderson of Sheffield — ‘more a military march man than a brass band one’ as he told 4BR, who was the first of many to get the answer right!
He picked his three CDs and got his diary, but kindly said that the next winner could get their hands on the Blue Juice valve oil as he wasn’t a player.
