Pitiful.That's all I can think of.I think I'm spending too much time at Sporacle.com.

Well, there's Kevin Armstrong (Bowie at Live Aid, Absolute Beginners, Tin Machine, Iggy Pop) and Kevin from the movie 'Time Bandits'. Also, I think the prime minister of Australia is called Kevin.

Mist.

specifically Cousin Kevin

Your cousin is Kevin Cann?

Mist.

I bloody googled 'cousin Kevin' yesterday and kept getting Tommy.For some reason I got sidetracked by a link which took me to The Backstreet Boys,who have cousins in the band,one of who is called Kevin.SHIT.

Get to Bowie from Tears for Fears in 2 moves ...

shout
lulu
bowie

lol - too easy eh? Take your 5 points.
I'll come up with a stinker for tomorrow ...

How did I get from Peter Cook to Bowie in a couple of jumps. Nothing to do the DB's fondness for Pete and Dud by the way.

I can get there in one! Gail Ann Dorsey played for both...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoul_and_the_Kings_of_Spain

They (TFF) did an almost carbon copy cover of Ashes To Ashes too.

Well done google-boy, but the points have already been awarded for the Tears for Fears question.

How about Peter Cook smarty pants?

You're right.
Even I can't find the
Link between the
Late Peter Cook & David Bowie
Or vice versa
Well done!

Brilliant!
Excuses, but
After
Retouching
Daily I get confused.

Cook appeared in something
That something links to someone else
that someone did something that links to Bowie

Being a bit of a conspiracy theorist when it comes to Bowie's lyrics, I can't help but think there's a hidden message in my answer above, if you read each sentence vertically... hmm!

Titch - just noticed your Yelow Beard - very good but that's still just one move

here's the clue again ...


Cook appeared in something
That something links to someone else
that someone did something that links to Bowie


only the top bowiephiles are gonna figure this litle baby out - but again you'll kick yer-self

Google-Boy? I'm a Gail fan and knew that by heart. Ugh, how you just ripped it in two.

Sorry I'm late to the party and you lost your points.

As for Peter Cook, Bowie and Eno would imitate Mr. Cook and Dudley Moore as "Derek and Clive" respectively while making "Heroes." There, that's one jump. Does that help you?

Sorry, just saw the no "Pete and Dud" rule above, which is bullshit by the way. That should count. Tell the rulemakers to go get cuffed.

the questions didn't ask you to get there in 'one' move - that would be too easy
the rule makers refuse to get cuffed

Peter Cook

appeared in the hilarious (IMHO) ......



The Princess Bride,

which also starred.......

Chris Sarandon.

He was married to Susan Sarandon who starred in....




The Hunger with db?

Well that works I 'spose. Yer bugger.
Here's what I was thinking ..
One for UK fans really

Cook presented a rock music show called So it Goes
Nick Lowe had a song called So it Goes ...
and also released an EP called Bowi in retaliation to Bowie's Low.

I never knew about Nick Lowe's 'Bowie' EP, thanx.

Didn't Nick Low also have a song out called Breaking Glass ?

Whilst we're at it, I should get an extra point for Pete Townshend, since he wrote Tommy!

And Tony Wilson presented the show 'So It Goes', not Peter Cook.

Mist.

Yeah alright - but he did appear on it! I might have mislead - but thats what cryptic clues are about ...

Yup, it's called "I Love The Sound of Breaking Glass."

Here's his TOTP performance of said song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI2k6aseNqg
