thats what I thought but i figured that there couldn't have been enough non-fictional people appearing in the show as themselves for the spirit of this quiz so I assume he's looking for a real life person played by an actor. like if Peter Kay appeared as Tony Blair the answer would be Tony Blair...of course I'm sure if tony blair had appeared as himself that would also be an appropriate answer
Please can we confine all requests for clarification to emails to me, and refrain from marking any answers posted here. I may disagree with your rulings.

A better idea maybe would be to put the questions up on a web page and just post the link to the questions here.
