Answer: Robert Redford

'Lions for Lambs' follows three separate stories, all connected by the violence and wars in the Middle East. It was written by Matthew Michael Carnahan, who previously wrote the script for 'The Kingdom' (2007). The film did not receive favourable reviews and did not fare well at the box office, despite making back its budget and then some.
3. Robert Conrad played Pappy Boyington in the 1970s TV show 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'. Who was Pappy Boyington?

Answer: WWII Marine Corps pilot

The TV show 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' was loosely based on the WWII adventures of Marine Corps fighter ace Pappy Boyington. The Black Sheep squadron was the nickname of Marine Attack Squadron 214 which was formed in Hawaii during WWII. The show ran from 1976 to 1978 and also featured actors Dana Elcar, Simon Oakland and John Larroquette. Robert Conrad had previously appeared as Agent Jim West on the TV show 'Wild Wild West' in the 1960s.

In the late 1970s, he portrayed French fur trader Pasquinel in the TV mini-series 'Centennial', and he also was in a series of TV commercials for Eveready batteries.

Answer: A Close Shave

'A Close Shave' was released in 1995, and was the third of Nick Park's animated films featuring the inventor Wallace, and his silent but highly intelligent dog Gromit. In this film, Wallace and Gromit are window cleaners who become embroiled in a sheep-rustling plot by an evil robotic dog.

The 1996 Academy Awards saw 'A Close Shave' win the award for Best Animated Short Film. That was the third time in a row that a 'Wallace and Gromit' film won that particular Academy Award.

Answer: Philip K. Dick

6. 'Lamb to the Slaughter' was a short story featured in the 'Tales of the Unexpected' collection by which popular British author?

Answer: Roald Dahl

The short story 'Lamb to the Slaughter' focuses on Mary Maloney, a housewife who kills her husband with a leg of lamb after he suggests that he is going to leave her. In an attempt to hide the evidence, Mary cooks the leg of lamb, and after the police investigate the scene and fail to find the murder weapon, she offers the cooked lamb to the policemen, who accept, unaware that it was in fact used to kill the husband.

The 'Tales of the Unexpected' collection contained many short stories penned by Roald Dahl, and each with a twist ending as the title suggests.

8. Which science fiction novel by Matthew Thomas was sold with the tag-line 'A Novel About Exploding Sheep, Nostradamus, and the End of the World'?

Answer: Before and After

'The exploding sheep book' as it came to be known, was first published in 1999, and featured Professor Mike D. Nostrus, a long suffering teacher who, well, knows a thing or two. Thomas also wrote 'Terror Firma', which was published in 2001.
9. 'Sheep' is a ten-minute long track on the album 'Animals', by which band?

Answer: Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd's 'Animals' was released in 1977, and featured just five tracks on two sides. Roger Waters, one of the band's guitarists, was responsible for writing the tracks on the album, one of which was co-written with bandmate David Gilmour. The original track was called 'Raving and Drooling', but it was changed and a different version of the song made it onto the album, under the name of 'Sheep'.
10. Mareep and Flaaffy are sheep-like creatures from which popular series of video games for Nintendo devices?

Answer: Pokemon

The games in the 'Pokemon' series are divided into generations, and each generation usually contains games for one particular gaming system. Generation II games included 'Gold', 'Silver', and 'Crystal' for the Game Boy Color, and added over 100 new Pokemon to the existing 151 introduced in Generation I, including the ovine Mareep and Flaaffy.

In the games, Pokemon gain experience during battles, and will evolve into a new Pokemon when they reach certain levels of experience. Mareep evolves into Flaaffy when it reaches level 15. Flaaffy then evolves into Ampharos at level 30, but Ampharos does not resemble a sheep as much as its previous forms do.
