12/02/12: Cryptically challenged

The attendees
1) The statistician
2) The doctor
3) The programmer
4) The saxophonist
5) The TV star

The ones that got away
1) Identify the film from this quote: "I know who I am. I'm the dude that's playing the dude disguised as another dude."
2) Identify the London station from this cryptic clue: "Speaking Greek might be helpful here."
3) Identify the London station from this cryptic clue: "The empire of the wild dog."
4) Identify the London station from this cryptic clue: "This witch stumbles over her rocky words."

The answers


The excuses
1) We got a touch obsessed with the idea that this was one of those 'play-within-a-play' films. Our answer sheet informs me we eventually went for Face/Off. Not entirely sure how that happened...
2-4) Rather undone by the cryptic stations this week, although we thought Totteridge and Whetstone was at least plausible for the last one. (Our guesses for the first two, of Kensington Olympia and Barking were, admittedly, rather more optimistic.)
