To get us all prepped for Tim's Oscar Trivia Countdown (yes, I'm throwing down the gauntlet, Tim - you have to do it again this year!), here's a pre-Oscar trivia question, although I know this film is already getting a lot of Oscar buzz...
The cast of the recent release, The King's Speech, comprises three actors who starred in the popular BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice some years ago. Name the actors...
And for extra bonus points, which of the three is closely related to an actor who starred in a popular superhero film franchise?
And for extra, extra bonus points, which of the cast members from The King's Speech have also appeared in the Harry Potter film franchise? I count at least three.
Colin Firth, David Bamber, Jennifer Ehle
In Harry Potter: Timothy Spall, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Gambon.

Excellent - and the middle question?

Rosemary Harris (mom of Jennifer Ehle) was in Spiderman 3 (Peter Parkers aunt).

You got it, Jeff. In fact, she was in all three Spiderman movies.

The gauntlet?!?!?!?!
Why am I reminded of "the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare"? (Can you name the film, Jacqui?)

I'd love to say it's before my time and make you feel REALLY old, Tim! But it would only be a cover-up for my own ignorance....

Tim's citing to the classic: "A Christmas Story." How about this, though. What's the sequel to it?
