Mrs 'Arris Goes To Paris - Lansbury
Innocents in Paris - Rutherford
Two for the Road - Finney

Finney OOO? The others went to Paris, he went to the South of France.

Obviously I am assuming the mystery bloke went to Paris too.

Finney is OOO but not for the reason given

Unidentified actor was very well known in his day and starred in some very prominent films which have lasted

Finney is the only one who hasn't appeared in an Oscar Wilde adaptation (unless of course he has!) - Importance of Being Earnest, Flesh and Fantasy, Portrait of Dorian Gray. But Finney was A Man of No Importance??? *isn't too hopeful*

There is a connection between 3 which Finney does not share and is not to do with performances

IIRC Rutherford's cousin was Tony Benn and Mitchell's brother worked for Eisenhower.

Finney turned down a knighthood.

Yes in a way he was being anti-establishment turning down a 'political' honour (whether he would say no to the Order of Merit or being a Companion of Honour might be a different matter)

Team effort on that one

Finney OOO because no connection with politics

Thats the joke that killed the Music Hall !
