Thanks guys. First check after final treatment, all clear.
Off you go Sandy.
Errol Leslie Thomson Flynn was an Australian-born actor. Considered the natural successor to Douglas Fairbanks, he achieved worldwide fame during the Golden Age of Hollywood. He was known for his romantic swashbuckler roles, frequent partnerships with Olivia de Havilland, and reputation for his womanising and hedonistic personal life. His most notable roles include the eponymous hero in The Adventures of Robin Hood, which was later named by the American Film Institute as the 18th greatest hero in American film history, the lead role in Captain Blood, Major Geoffrey Vickers in The Charge of the Light Brigade, and the hero in a number of Westerns such as Dodge City, Santa Fe Trail, and San Antonio.

Welcome to the thread Sandyfreckle I'll accept Alfalfa he is Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer and the point of hair sticking up was his Poisonality if that spelling fits the pronunciation So it's your turn to post a picture for us to guess. If you need any help just give a yell and we will help, over to you.
Carl Dean Switzer (August 8, 1927[1] January 21, 1959) was an American singer, child actor, dog breeder and guide. He was best known for his role as Alfalfa in the short subjects series Our Gang.
Switzer began his career as a child actor in the mid-1930s appearing in the Our Gangshort subjects series as Alfalfa, one of the series' most popular and best-remembered characters. After leaving the series in 1940, Switzer struggled to find substantial roles owing to typecasting. As an adult, he appeared mainly in bit parts and B-movies. He later became a dog breeder and hunting guide.
Switzer married in 1954 and had one son before divorcing his wife in 1957. He was fatally shot by an acquaintance in a dispute over money in January 1959.
OK Sandyfreckle hasn't come back. I sent him a PM a couple of days ago so I guess he hasn't visited his computer for a bit so to keep the game going I will post another pic. Who is this guy.
Well I thought this one would be an easy oneOK our man was a radio and TV personality and Wikipedia says he was Known as a pioneer of Australian television. According to Google he is still with us but sadly in 2016 he was admitted to a nursing home when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He was a comedic partner to Denise Drysdale and she said re his Alzheimer's "to see him struggling to even remember who I am is devastating."

You've got him Graham over to you for a pic.
Ernest William Sigley (born 2 September 1938)[1] is a Gold Logie winning Australian host, radio presenter and singer. Known as a pioneer of Australian television, Sigley is often styled as a "little Aussie battler" with a larrikin sense of humour.
Early life
He was born in Footscray, Melbourne, one of seven children of a boilermaker.[1] After completing his education at Williamstown High School, Sigley's career began in 1952 as a turntable operator on Danny Webb's breakfast program at radio station 3DB (Melbourne). Television started in Australia in 1956, and Sigley made his TV debut as host of Teenage Mailbag on HSV-7 in 1957. Shortly after this, he travelled to London, gaining some work experience at the BBC. But a bigger break was to come with a three-year stint at Radio Luxembourg, where he performed under the name 'Ernie Williams'.[1]
Sigley is remembered for his 1964 association with the Adelaide leg of The Beatles tour of Australia. In one press conference, Sigley's questioning of The Beatles brought about an enthusiastic response from John Lennon, which led to one of the best interviews of the tour.
