Twenty Questions 159

[damo666]

Two questions left.

Another clue: if you count films (unsure see previous answer) he wrote for at least 3 different media

Notoriety often follows fame.

[Jamiet99uk]

Is he a screenwriter, script-writer, comedy writer (whose comedy is then performed by others), or something of that nature?

Sorry unsure. Has 'made' films where he may have been the screenwriter.

Beginning to wish I hadn't picked this person now.

You need regret nothing, Damo. This is a fascinating challenge. I am sure that some clue lies in the uncertainty of your answers. I am thinking.

[Jamiet99uk]

Does he have a criminal record, or has he ever been accused of a crime?

Playing a 2 day poker tournament this weekend. Will look later but may be a wait!

What kind of poker? How did it go?

Yes

What kind of poker? How did it go?

Usual (Hold'em). £220 + £30. Four day 1 flights into D2. 15 30 minutes levels day 1 which is a slightly ott imo. Got busted level 13*.

Friend of mine won the thing. 25K. Not bad for 2 days work.

KK lost to QQ hitting quads lol. Had been dented with set 7s losing to runner runner flush.

I run a small pub game in London aimed at City after work patrons (used to run 4 a week but I've calmed down). Quite a few of us have done reasonably well in medium price events (>100 <1000). It's fun.

Do you play?

[Jamiet99uk]

So it's a living British man who is associated with writing in various forms, and has been on television, who is generally somewhat notorious, and who has a criminal record.

(Damo how many questions left?)

One

[Jamiet99uk]

I've asked the last two questions; someone else ask question 20 (but be careful!).

[cdngooner]

The comment about writing "in different forms" led me to suspect a songwriter. The age fits well with the British Invasion era. I'm swirling around possible solutions, but everyone I come up with has either been on The Simpsons (Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards), or holds world records (Andrew Lloyd Webber). These people also did not "present" a TV program, although they were on many, and all made films.

[cdngooner]

My first thought was David Attenborough, but he very much IS famous for being on TV. Same for all of the guys from Monty Python.

What crimes has David Attenborough committed?

What crimes has David Attenborough committed?

None that I'm aware of but that's pointless to point out as I said I had already eliminated him on other grounds so didn't get that far. My goal is just to open up ideas for the kinds of people we might be looking for.

Focus on the goal more, jamie, and less on scoring points against me.

True, that

I'd be surprised if Lord Attenborough's son hadn't committed a few crimes along the way, though. Their kind usually have. And they did find a woman's skull in his back garden a few years back...

I am fairly confident it's Jonathan King, though.

1. He's a British person who is still alive.
2. He has a criminal record.
3. He is primarily known as a music producer, singer, and sex offender, but he also wrote songs and has written for various newspapers and magazines.
4. He appeared multiple times on Top Of The Pops as a presenter (as well as a couple of times as a musician), but occasionally presenting Top Of The Pops was not the initial source of his fame.
