Friday Waxwork Quiz

[Stumpy Pepys]

Here's a selection of images taken from a trawl around the web, featuring waxworks from the infamous Great Yarmouth Waxwork Museum.

By way of a clue, a couple of them will probably only be known to British TV viewers; the rest are all pretty well known sports and entertainment figures. Before anyone says anything, number six is not Ian Huntley.

I'll update the answers sporadically. Good luck.

1. Larry Grayson (Alderman Barnes)
2. Bob Hope (Andy C)
3. Tom Jones (Alderman Barnes)
4. Richard Burton (ursus arctos)
5. George Best (Sean of the Shed)
6. Michael Owen (Indysleaze)
7. Shirley Bassey (ursus arctos)
8. Kevin Keegan (Alderman Barnes)
9. Jim Davidson (Nil Arshavin)

[Alderman Barnes]

Wild guesses:

1. Larry Grayson

4. Brian Cant
6. JPR Williams
6. One of the Kemps
7. A mad woman
8. Kevin Keegan
9. Roger Moore

Is no.3 Imran Khan?

No, wait - no.5 ...or no.8!

No.7 has to be Liza Minelli ...or the older Judy Garland.

I'm surprised Alderman Barnes guessed number 3 correctly (Tom Jones), as he looks much more like Engelbert Humperdinck.

5. Andrea Pirlo, still suffering from the after effects of having been drugged and spirited away to Great Yarmouth.

Is number 4 Geoff Boycott?

2. Jack Nicholson
6. Ian Curtis
7. Michael Jackson.
8. Jack White.

Ironically 5. looks simply too much like JPR for it to have been him.

Yes. Looking like the bastard offspring of Paul Mariner and Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men.

Number seven is going to appear to me in a nightmare, I just know it.

4. Antony Hopkins (I'm shit at this, I know).

6. Michael Owen (though it looks like Rod Dixon from Brookie, and therefore Michael Carrick)
7. Oprah Winfrey

Friday Waxwork Quiz

On the mouth alone, is 7 Cherie Blair?

[Stumpy Pepys]

No.

Michael Owen is correct for number six.

Hang on, 7 isn't Michael Jackson?!

4 is how I imagine Matt Goss is going to look in the forthcoming Bros reunion.

I'd be impressed if anyone could even get the ethnicity of 2 right. It looks horribly like a waxwork of a white "celebrity" that they've blacked up to recycle it.

One thing's for certain, they're all fucking horrible. I get the feeling that the sculptor who made them based his techniques on soldiers who can assemble rifles while blindfolded.

7 sort of reminds me of Billie Holiday

(strung out on meth, obv)

9 is Jim Davidson.

Correct.

I thought 7 might be Michael Jackson as well, but if isn't, how about putting a UK spin on Bruno's suggestion with Shirley Bassey?

2 actually looks somewhat like an off colour version of former New York Yankee manager Joe Torre (now with the LA Dodgers), but that can't be right.

4 is incredibly generic. Bruce Forsyth without the moustache?

It must have been the bow tie that was a giveaway for 9, my guess was George H.W. Bush.
