In the Red Dwarf episode "Psirens," when Lister's Psiren double plays guitar, the hands are actually those of Phil Manzanera, lead guitarist with Roxy Music (although at the time, Manzanera was a solo artist and producer, Bryan Ferry having dissolved the band eight years earlier).

OK, you're right, told you it was easy. I will try and think of a suitably devious one.

Connect the Electric Light Orchestra to Agro the puppet in five or fewer links.

Agro the puppet

For those who don't know Agro, here are a couple of references:


http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2012/10/heres-agro-the-horny-australian-puppet/

And for the under-25s:


And no, the answer is not that Jeff Lynne and Agro share the same barber.

Off you go.

No takers? It's coming up on 23 hours since I posted this one. If no-one takes a crack at it in the next hour, I'll post my solution.

OK. My solution - ELO to Agro in five steps:

  1. ELO's bassist from 1972 to 1974 was Mike de Albuquerque. (He appears in the Showdown clip I posted.)
  2. Mike's solo album We May Be Cattle But We've All Got Names featured guitar played on all tracks by Ollie Halsall. (http://cherryblossomclinic.x10.mx/mike1.html)
  3. Ollie joined Eric Idle's Beatles parody The Rutles in which he played alongside former Beach Boys drummer Ricky Fataar. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rutles)
  4. Ricky later became a member of Australian band The Monitors whose sole hit, What Will We Be Singing In The 80s, featured vocals by the Blakeney twins, Gayle and Gillian. (http://www.cleavagedownunder.com/CDU/Reviews/Entries/2010/11/1_What_Will_We_Be_Singing_In_the_80s_The_Monitors.html)
  5. The Blakeneys went on to become presenters on the Australian kids show Wombat alongside...Agro! (They all appear in the Wombat opening ident clip I posted.)

^Would never have got that in a thousand years. And for me it is too far a connection.
