I had a final shortlist of Arthur Bostrom, Rowan Atkinson, Richard Gibson and Timothy Spall.
 I ruled out TS on the basis that he has had several roles since Barry and I have seen him wearing glasses. |

Indeed, IAWN, some folks pitch questions that are quite tough for me to answer YES or NO. In those instances I am forced into making a best guess.

Spall's a fantastic actor who's played loads of roles - but he'll always be Barry to me
 , nice quiz thanks. |

IAGWN would probably have got it - without a few wasted guesses the day before.
Apologies if some of my questions were tough to answer accurately. Questioning can often be either aimed at narrowing the choices down by 50-50 each time or having wild stabs at the answer. |
