This has probably been discussed a thousand times, but why are the 100 people questioned on the celeb version apparently so much thicker than the civilian 100? 46 for William Shatner? What's that all about?!

It all depends on the age of the person questioned. A lot of younger people wouldn't have a clue William Shatner was in the original Star Trek TV show.

He's the best!
Richard Gibson is a serious actor who had never played a comedy role before and didn't know how to do gags so played the role straight but in doing so made a seemingly serious character absolutely hilarious!

I think he's great as Herr Flick and I love the way he dresses, all that leather and his fedora hat and snazzy glasses.
Did he say 'you may kiss me'!”
Yep, that's me!
I met him several years ago when he did a play called Death by Fatal Murder in Billingham and I traveled from just outside Edinburgh especially to see him in it. I'd been in touch with the official Flick and Helga fan club beforehand and Richard knew I was coming. So he arranged to meet me and he couldn't have been a nicer guy. I saw the play three times and he met me each time in the theatre bar. The first night I even got to sit with him and the rest of the cast! Then on the last night (which happened to be the last performance) the bar manager came over and said I could have the play's poster that was on the bar wall (you can see it behind us in one of the pics) then Richard said he would get the rest of the cast to sign it too. It still graces my bedroom wall and is one of my most prized possessions. He also signed several photos, gave me one of his own and signed my programme as well
Unfortunately he didn't say 'you may kiss me', but I certainly got a few!

He sounds like a really lovely guy!♥♥♥ Not at all like Herr Flick!
It's nice when a famous person has loads of time for their fans and nothing's too much trouble.
I like the little sketch of Herr Flick drawn on one of the photos.
After "penultimate" came up for 1 point, I was just waiting for the lightbulb moment and for "antepenultimate" to be grabbed for a pointless. Surprised it took so long.
Was watching an earlier episode from this series and had to laugh when one of them in the head-to-head picture recognition round thought Julian Clary was Eddie Izzard and that someone called Eddie was one of the Famous Five.
