+crb11 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 At the time of Brother Cadfael, the throne of England was disputed. What linked the two potential Queens? Quote Link to comment
+civilised Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 At the time of Brother Cadfael, the throne of England was disputed. What linked the two potential Queens? They were both called Matilda ? Quote Link to comment
+civilised Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Thanks for that On a sort of similar topic:- Since William the Conqueror (William I) virtually all English/British kings have a regnal number – Henry IV, George V, etc. Who are the only two kings who do not have anyone named after them and so have no regnal numbers?

Pajaholic Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 King John, who was forced to sign the Magna Carta was one. ISTR there being a King Stephen. I'm not sure whether he was before or after William the Conqueror -- but he's my best guess for the second! Quote Link to comment
+civilised Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Absolute DING ! I think that the royal family are aware of when one of them has done a poor job - hence no more Johns or Stephens - and it will probably be a while before we have another Henry or Edward Over to you Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Thanks. On a similar note (and courtesy of QI), William the Conqueror did not become King immediately after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Another was proclaimed King the day after the battle and, although never crowned, reigned until December 1066 and William's seizing of the English throne. His name will get you the ding!

+crb11 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Bringing things a bit more up to date. Brian Lara holds the record for the most runs in a cricket Test innings (400), but who holds the record for the most in a Test match? Quote Link to comment
+crb11 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 No, sorry. I'd better give a hint. It was achieved at the England v India match at Lord's in 1990. Quote Link to comment
+TheOldfields Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hmmm. Think Tendulkar was playing then, so I'll have a guess at him. Quote Link to comment
+crb11 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Tendulkar played in that match, but it wasn't him. It's a well-known player. Quote Link to comment
+Beach_hut Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Ah, then it might be Graham Gooch then? I'm sure he got 333 in an innings then, so I'm guessing he scored highly in the other innings too? Quote Link to comment
+crb11 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Ding! 456 times. He got 123 in the second innings - only player to score a triple century and a century in the same match. . Quote Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think that's Blues Brothers (1980) but the cost would be pure guess-work: $2.8m at the time? Quote Link to comment

I double checked first just in case and found that there has been a more resent film with this claim to fame And the costs were a lot higher Quote Link to comment

+martin&lindabryn Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Is it the animated film CARS? So no actual cost. This is a pure bad guess as I haven't seen the film. #No sorry, they are real cars According to director John Moore “Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts,” he said. "You put it all together, it was like an $?? million sequence.” And that doesn’t even include “several” Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUVs demolished in the filming along with a few of the German automaker’s heavy trucks like the Unimog and Zetros Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) John Moore? Sounds like A Good Day To Die Hard. Edited to add: I just Googled to check and I'm way out. A Good Day To Die Hard 'only' wrecked 132 cars. The film that holds the record wrecked an astonishing 532! A Good Day To Die Hard only comes third as SP's answer (Fast and Furious) wrecked 260!

+martin&lindabryn Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) John Moore? Sounds like A Good Day To Die Hard. Edited to add: I just Googled to check and I'm way out. A Good Day To Die Hard 'only' wrecked 132 cars. The film that holds the record wrecked an astonishing 532! A Good Day To Die Hard only comes third as SP's answer (Fast and Furious) wrecked 260! The movie that holds the record for the most cars crashed in a single film is a favorite subject of debate -- and an honor of dubious distinction -- among car enthusiasts. Depending on which website you want to believe, I asked for which film reputedly holds the record for the most cars crashed in one days filming and at what estimated cost? The answer I was looking for was “A Good Day To Die Hard” with an estimated cost of $11 million, So over to you A Good Day To Die Hard 132 cars destroyed. If ever there was a movie that didn't need a sequel, let alone four, it was Die Hard. Alas, 25 years after John McClane first entered the Nakatomi Plaza, we find ourselves talking about the fifth, and worst, Die Hard movie to date. Man, does he have some bad luck. 132 vehicles were destroyed in the making of this film, and a further 518 were badly damaged. Fast And Furious 260 cars destroyed in Fast Five. All told, more than 900 cars have been destroyed since the very first Fast and Furious film, The Fast and The Furious. Over 554 minutes of film, that's one car destroyed every 37 seconds. 260 of those cars were destroyed in the latest film, Fast Five. We already know that 400 cars were used in the making of Fast and Furious 6, but just how many survived remains a mystery. Rumour has it, over 100 cars met a sticky end in just one sequence Transformers 3 532 cars destroyed in Transformers 3. Technically, every one of the 532 cars "destroyed" in the making of Transformers 3 was already fit for the scrapheap. The cars had been donated to director Michael Bay because they were flood damaged, and therefore needed to be scrapped by law anyway. Edited July 16, 2014 by martin&lindabryn Quote Link to comment
