AMENDMENT
A couple of posters have rightly asked for clarification regarding Question 3. "The Front Page" did infact premiere in 1980 and was part of a season of films featuring another actor, Walter Matthau. Therefore, to avoid further confusion, I have altered the name of the film as your clue to question 3 so that you can provide the correct answer more easily.
So, here are all the questions again with the new clue included. Sorry for any confusion.
The Questions:
1. What year did the musical "Oliver!" receive its Christmas Day premiere?
2. The rather cheeky line "Well, tickle my tits 'til Friday" is from which British comedy romance?
3. "Save the Tiger" was just one movie that aired as part of a season featuring this actor on BBC2 at Christmas 1981. Who was the actor?
4. A foreign language film about a raven wearing a bell that linked stories together, premiered on BBC2 in 1984. What was the name of the film?
5. "White Christmas" is a loose remake of which festive movie also starring Bing Crosby?
6. Which low budget crime thriller premiered, virtually unnoticed, on Christmas Day 1981?
7. Which remake of a classic, this time starring Piers Brosnan, got an airing on Christmas Day 2003?
8. Which Jodie Foster/Richard Gere costume drama received its Network premiere on Boxing Day 1996?
9. How many times since its 1978 premiere, has "The Sound of Music" aired on BBCtv on Christmas Day itself?
10. Which film that was originally intended as the Christmas afternoon 1985 film on BBC1, was replaced (due to Michael Grade considering it too violent for that slot) with the Children's Royal Variety Performance when the schedules were finalised and confirmed?
Sorry guys!
