Does anyone know what links the 14 answers and what links the photos? I can do the first bit but can't see the links - very frustrating!

[kq48]

I don't know the link between the 14 answers but the link for the pairs of faces is that they are related by marriage. I'm missing several names - numbers 3, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 20 (top to bottom, left to right)

[macpark]

i think that 20 is sacha diestel and 14 is anthony quinn

[Argee]

I think 17 is Peter Vaughan.

Do you know 5 or 11 please?

[macpark]

11 is ryan o'neal and 16 is sir stephen spender

3 is cecil b demille

Have you got 2, 5, or 15?

[Argee]

Thanks macpark.

I have not got 2, 5 or 15 yet but I will post them when (if!) I do.

Good luck!

[macpark]

Is 5 daniel day lewis?

[stevechay]

5 is Daniel Day Lewis.Who is 13 and 15? Many thanks. Steve

13 is david puttnam. Haven't got 15, or 1 or 2. Also any of the marriage trails would save time. How the 14 are linked: I didn't get anything when I googled all 14 but when I googled just 3 I got a website of homophones, ie sound alikes, not mobiles in Old Compton Street. At first you might wonder, but think fissure, cache etc.

2 is Martin Balsam (his daughter was married to George Clooney). 1 is Jack Ashley (daughter married to Andrew Marr). Cecil B Demille (3) was Anthony Quinn's (14) father-in-law.

[ramsfan]

Thanks, i'd mistook martin balsam for frank sinatra, which had messed up the links. Now left with Peter Vaughan (?via Billie Whitelaw), ?Sacha Distel, ?Gregor Fisher (or have I got no 6 wrong, I guess they wouldn't have him in both parts) and no 15.

[kq48]

Apparently Peter Vaugahn is Gregor Fisher's father-in-law. Are you sure about Sasha Distel?

[ramsfan]

No, I was following macpark's suggestion, plus I'd google imaged him and thought it could be right, but not sure. Trouble with Sacha is that I don't think he links to anyone, ie not married as far as I could tell from brief look at biographies. Will look again.

[ramsfan]

Sorry, Sacha married a french ski champion francine breaud, but so far I can't find out any relatives/partners for her. I could imagine 15 is another french sports star.

[macpark]

10 is arthur miller who is daniel day lewis' father-in-law

Still need 15 and 20 which must connect with Lord Putnam and Loyd grossman in some combination!

[macpark]

only one pair to go now as Lord Putnam is Loyd Grossman's father-in-law but haven't a clue who the pictures are!

[Argee]

We are left with 15 and 20?

I don't think 20 can be Sacha Distel as he had two sons so was not a father-in-law and I cannot find anything notable about his wife's father.

[stevechay]

Help! 15 and 20? Does anyone know their names?? I don't think it's Sacha Diestel, though admittedly I'm not sure, I can't find a picture of him that looks similar.

[ramsfan]

There's a new trail started where Peter Lawford is suggested. I wasn't sure but now having checked, as well as the Kennedy's he's linked to Dan Rowan of the laugh in, who I think is no 15. We've got it.

[stevechay]

ramsfan, I think you are right, I thought that 20 looked like Benard Hinualt and started going down that avenue to no avail, maybe, maybe not?

[Argee]

Thank you everybody. That was fun! I am useless at Sudoku but I am looking forward to the other three puzzles. Good Luck.
