That got me Vanessa Paradis and a track called Joe Le Taxi, is that the guy in the picture?

He is the eponymous character in the Vanessa Paradis - Joe Le Taxi (Clip Officiel) Video.

I watched the video earlier in my attempts to identify the actor but to no avail!! I did discover that Vanessa Paradis used to be married to Johnny Depp though!! Luckily for her she got out before he "allegedly" started being abusive!!

Yes I was just after "Joe"....cant find any acting credits given to the actor who played Joe in that video. There was another version of her riding through the streets on a blue jeep with who I presume is another uncredited "Joe".

That one has quite a few french cars of the period featured!

While on the subject of Taxi's here is my favourite poster from Carry On Cabby. Three nice pairs on show here if you include the MK1 Cortina driving lamps!!

Just realised you were asking who was in my picture I think it's Marion Horton and Norman Mitchell !

[NewcastleFalcon]

I didnt know Norman Mitchell Mick.

Heres my effort round about 9 if I am right and I just couldnt remember Pat Coombes name.

my effort

REgards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

More or less the same as mine except I had Milo O'Shea as a definite and Bill Owen as a possible. I didn't think it was Pat Coombs I thought it was her predecessor whose name was an odd one, Elma or Ezme or something like that.

Edit Just looked her up, Esma Cannon!!

[NewcastleFalcon]

You dont think the chap in the trilby in your poster is Milo OShea rather than Norman Mitchell do you Mick

REgards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

When I first saw it I thought it was Tony Hancock but as he wasn't in the film that is pretty unlikely It could be Milo or Norman, not really sure!!

[NewcastleFalcon]

I need limbering up for University Challenge

anyone got a sterter for ten, or some quickfire questions

[mickthemaverick]

As you've had a tough day Neil have a look at these: The Fosse Way

From the quiz book:

1 Place names ending "cester" are common on Roman Roads. From what is that derived and what does it mean?

2 What can be found at Chedworth constructed between the 2nd and 4th Centuries?

3 A motor museum with a toy collection can be found in which town on The Fosse Way?

4 Which A road links Chipping Norton with Evesham?

5 Where was the second series of The Grand Tour filmed?

Enjoy

[NewcastleFalcon]

Thanks Mick I'll give them a go
