JOHN HANNAH

He’s faced the Mummy three times. But nothing has prepared him for this…

1 You battled Arnold Vosloo’s Imhotep across three Mummy

films. But can you spell it? I-M-H-O-T-E-P. Nobody knew if the film was going to be a success or not, but we had a fun time doing it. I’ve not seen the Tom Cruise one. I don’t know if they were going for something more spooky.

Correct.

2 You share a scene with Ardeth Bay’s pet bird in The Mummy Returns.

What is its name? Horus.

Correct.

3 What’s the name of the yacht in Overboard?

I don’t know. [On hearing answer]

Ah, okay. I think I actually say that at one point in the film. Incorrect. The correct answer is Birthday Present.

4 In Sliding Doors, what is Helen’s first response to James’, “You know what the Monty Python boys say?” “Always look on the bright side of life.” Gwyneth Paltrow was top class. I saw Pete Howitt [the writer] recently for the 20th anniversary. We reminisced about the Monty Python sequence he acted out for us. Correct.

5 At the end of The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor,

in order to go somewhere with no mummies, Jonathan decides to move where? It’s either Chile or Peru. I have to pick one… Peru. I was looking forward to a sequel there but it never happened. Heigh-ho, that’s life.

Correct.

6 In Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., what does the acronym for Holden Radcliffe’s Life-model decoy spell out?

Artificial. Intelligent. Something… Assistant. [On hearing answer]

I was going to say Digital, what else could it possibly be? The effects were terrific. Some of it was crafted in the workshop, and some of it was CGI. That combination really worked. They did some effects on my eye in my first scene which was pretty cool.

Half a point. The correct answer was Artificial Intelligent Digital Assistant.

7 In the first episode of Season 2 of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency,

what does the Mage kill Dan with?

A pen. What colour? Fuck off… yellow. Ah yes, it was yellow! That was fun. It was such a great world to get into.

Correct.

8 In Season 2 of A Touch Of Cloth, Jack Cloth goes undercover. What’s his criminal name? Oh God… is it Jake? [On hearing answer] That’s right! There was a whole sequence for that too. I really loved that show. Incorrect. The correct answer is Jacques Copper.

9 “Stop all the clocks.” Everyone knows that’s how Funeral Blues, the poem Matthew recites at Gareth’s funeral in Four Weddings And A Funeral, begins. But what’s the final line?

I don’t know. [On hearing answer]

Yeah, I would never have gotten that. I remember doing lots of takes for that scene. Incorrect. The correct answer is, “Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood/for nothing now can ever come to any good.”

10 At the start of Genesis,

Paul Brooks makes an entry into his journal. What day is it?

Tuesday. You want a number? Twenty-seven. [On hearing answer]

Ha, I remember now. It was after the event. [On hearing final score]

Five-and-a-half out of ten? That’s not bad. It felt like two.

Incorrect. The correct answer was Day 518.
