Whoops, sorry Tim Curry 🤣
I actually know a good few of these but was struggling for names 😅

[jp liz v1]

Is that Mark Addy from The Full Monty

No, it's Mark Addy from Game of Thrones

I was trying to think when was he Santa 

[jp liz v1]

I was not sure about Guy Pearce as I couldn't remember him as Scrooge

[Neowise]

i recognized Guy Pearce, but didn't invest the time to properly recognize him with all the old and grumpy make up on, but i am currently on season 2 of Jack Irish, so the glimmer of recognition was there, but i didn't feed it, it wouldn't have gotten me any better of a score, so I'm glad i didn't pursue it.

[ShaneU]

Only knew Tim Curry & Patrick Stewart! lifeline saved me 4 points

[E.N.]

Ah, sorry guys. Loaded this this morning but it didn't actually post, would have sworn I'd done it...

Can figure all but two 😁. No doubt I will pick a 🐑 anyway.

[Leg End Reject]

Where's Jesus?????

[nothing]

Where's Jesus?????

Wasn't he born in spring or something?

[ShaneU]

Got them all and chose what I thought was the most difficult so obviously it will sheep

[Leg End Reject]

There's one I can't figure out and it's bugging me.

[HildaSilvioOgden]

Aha, just got one of the two I couldn't figure. Have given up on the other one. 😁

[lorcand1990]

Where's Jesus?????

Jesus is everywhere leggy, you can't hide

[Homer J. Fong]

I have all except one. But which to go for....

Got them all and chose what I thought was the most difficult so obviously it will sheep

Clearly a bluff, he went for the most obvious one.....@everyone, you must all go obvious to Sheep and stop him winning.

(and if I happen to get an Ace as a result, well that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make)

[Barna77]

Where's Jesus?????

Jesus is everywhere leggy, you can't hide

You better hide from the freezing cold

[Leg End Reject]

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day

There's your earworm sorted for today.

Went into the city yesterday, never felt cold like it.. was giving -6 celcius but wind chill of -12, when you get a gust of wind in your face it's like you're going numb

Its to get to -18 on Friday

Run to one of their huge off licenses and get supplies.

Never mind about bread and milk

I don't want to know how you realised that exists!

Pretty sure early-ish christians moved Jesus' birthday to coincide with pagan winter festivals to make converting them easier... Or have I fallen for a conspiracy?!

Shush, Boney M decreed it thus.

It's a big score for Sissy Spacek.

[E.N.]

It's my first ace of the game. 

@Mam of 4 will be looking over her shoulder nervously

[Leg End Reject]

It's my first ace of the game. 

A very brave choice!

[aaronjennings]

Annie Lennox would have Aced...

[Mam of 4]

I thought most of the young ones wouldn't know who Sissy Spacek was 🙈🤣

[RSOAPS]

@E.N. I'm pretty sure I said Annie Lennox, although I may have spelled it oddly as my fingers slipped while I was typing my answer so there's a chance my answer looked like Helena Christensen, but it definitely was Annie Lennox
