OK, we'll count that one as over, since it's pointless to drag it out.
Transport next:
Which tube station would you most associate with Richard Burton (the actor, not the explorer)?

ah.
this is my line of work so i should really get this. i believe that he starred in a b movie called raw meat which was about a troglodytic being which ate lost commuters. it was based in russell square tube station so that is my guess.

Your line of work as in you're a troglodyte cannibal living in the Underground?
Nice try but I think you'll find the film was 'Death Line' starring Donald Pleasance.

As a sad Horror movie buff Raw Meat was the release title in America for Death Line.

tannhauser gate.
now i know a lot about the piccadilly line but next to nothing about richard burton except that he married that liz taylor twice.
i should know the answer if it is one of the original stations (hammersmith-finsbury park) so from the others, another shot in the dark:
hatton cross?

Ps There are more than one person called Richard Burton. ie A famous explorer who was knighted.

Well then, you should know the answer. And it's not the explorer (again)

okay, next-best guess: the disused aldwych station?
i know that 50% of london underground scenes are filmed there.

Ah no again. The connection is a lot more direct than that.
