Astonishing... but it can be beaten!

That's very cool. It got Private Pike first time, but Barbara Good was a bit more tricky, mainly because of the way the questions are asked. Given that she lives with her husband, do you answer yes or no to the question "Do you have a roommate?"? And the final question "Have you ever had a pig as a house guest?" was fairly irrelevant, as either answer gets you the same result. Very entertaining though...

This is amazing. It got both Stalin and Chairman Mao first time, which perhaps you'd expect, but then with a series of seemingly irrelevant questions it somehow managed to get Basil Fawlty first time as well - unbelievable!

Mrs Miggins had it stumped for a while, before I realised that it was thinking of the pie shop owning Mrs Miggins from Blackadder II rather than the housekeeping Mrs Miggins from Blackadder the Third. And I thought I had it beaten...

Oh dear. When trying to be the Prince Regent from Blackadder the Third, it thought I was George W Bush. The only difference between them, apparently, is that one is catholic...

The final question I had when acting as Cybil Fawlty was priceless...

Similarly, my choice of Fidel Castro led the machine to guess Jeff Hardy from WWF Smackdown. Whether he's supposed to be a dictator or a sit-com character isn't clear, but maybe someone else could try Castro to see if I'm answering a question incorrectly somehwere along the line?

Kylie may be interested to note that Charlene (spelling?) from Neighbours came out as a minor character from the Adams Family....
