Game for a Daimler

with Dame Edna Everage

Hello Possums!

This week's Quizmaster happens to be my very favourite Stage-Door Johnnie. Whenever I'm doing one of my all too rare sell-out theatrical offerings (last year Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, next year Royal Opera House, Covent Garden or, perhaps, Stratford) this marvellous old mummer (the last of the white-hot ones) never fails to pop one of his many faces around my dressing-room door. His few words of excessive praise — untinged by envy spookily enough — are always music to my ears.

So put your thinking caps on for this week's question from that Grand Seigneur of the Greasepaint — a man I have secretly worshipped since he first gave us Fanny by Gaslight —

Sir Alec Guinness.

Fire away, Lecky!

Question No. 2

Set by Sir Alec Guinness

Scene: The domino room of The Café Royal.

'Why were you so determined not to draw him?' I asked.

'Draw him? Him? How can one draw a man who doesn't exist?'

The dialogue is between two men who existed. Who were they? And if the man they spoke of didn't exist, was he perhaps one of seven?

You are asked to identify the three men.
