BLASTERMIND Before They Were Replaced Quiz

NOW WITH ANSWERS Can you identify 12 characters played by somebody other than who made them more famous?

You can see where this is going can’t you?

Yep, because there are oodles of (made-up-imaginary) points to be won this week as week as we ask you to:

a) Identify the character
b) Identify the show/film
c) Name the actor pictured
d) Name the actor who took over

So that’s a potential 48 points. Wowser. Shame there’s no prize, but we know you enjoy doing these quizzes purely for the mental workout. We do it for your own good, you know.

Usual request: please don’t put answers in the comments section below (though feel free to use it to boast/bemoan how well/badly you’re doing) but this thread is quite happy for you to post and discuss answers if you follow the golden rule of only posting answers in invisible text (if you don’t know how ask somebody there – they’re very friendly).
