8. The 7th cavalry

12. James Le Gros

Good one, manxman!

Nice try oldbroad, but not this time

Hint later on...

12. Could it be Leonard Nimoy?

No, but close, Marian!

I will give someone else a chance, Rog.

Wonder who that will be...?

He looks familiar but...

12. James Stewart

Afraid not, manxman

Got to be DeForest Kelley then - Dr McCoy (whose line that was, I think)

Again - a big "tough luck"

12. Maximilian Schell

Afraid not, Fil, For most of his career he favoured TV over the cinema

I think Fil is correct, Rog. I checked the screenshots for Judgement at Nuremburg at IMBD, and Maximilian Schell is wearing the same earphones and clothing in the screenshots there. Wm. Shatner is wearing an army officer's uniform.

A thousand apologies, Fil - you and LadyKestrel are absoluteley right Mea culpa - I googled "shatner nuremberg" using "images" and picked the wrong one. Should have followed the firsr law of internet use - "never take anything at face value"

Still, look on the bright side:

1. Lex, Marian - I learnt that, like "Beam me up Scotty", the "It's life, Jim" phrase was never actually spoken in the series. It was only ever used in the lyrics of the "Star Trekkin" song

2. I think we've managed to avoid that picture

Thanks, Lady K. (Walks away dejectedly, sobbing quietly - a broken man)

An excellent diversion Rog, despite not being intended!!

I thought I recalled both those phrases (or something very similar) being used during the series rather than just in the song.

According to Wiki, the closest is Spock with "No life as we know it". Kirk used similar "beam me up" phrases to Scotty, but never that exact phrase

I doubt you'll ever be able to avoid that picture, Rog.

D'oh!

I just knew we were not going to get through this without being treated with a picture of you know who!

Well I just LOVED it !!!! and Thank you
