Six degrees of separation

Tweet

It is said that everyone is six degrees of separation from the actor Kevin Bacon, and I have discovered that I certainly am. 1/. My name being Arthur I am associated with the legends associated with my namesake, as is Sir Lancelot Spratt, as played in The Doctor movies by James Robertson Justice. 2/. The main stars of the Doctor films were Dirk Bogarde and Leslie Philips Another Dirk would be Dirk Gently in the Douglas Adams novels. 3/. Douglas Adams also created Marvin, The Paranoid Android. Another famous use of androids was in Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep, also known as Blade-runner. 4/. A famous Blade-runner was Victor Kiam, who sold a famous brand of razor blades. 5/. In one of her movies Julie Andrews played Victor / Victoria 6/. A few years ago, a pig named after Kevin Bacon was stolen from a farm in Victoria, Australia and later safely recovered for its owner, along with a lamb called Bradley. I am therefore six degrees from Kevin Bacon. Are you? Arthur Chappell
