BLASTERMIND Mother's Day

Some of the actresses may have played mothers in others things, but we’re only after answers relevant to the films and shows the images below come from. And one of them is a surrogate mum, we know, but she did such a good job she’s a shining example of the fact that motherhood is not merely in the genes.

Remember, there are no prizes. The ability to win at Blastermind is a priceless talent, and we would not cheapen it by trying to fob you off with tat. The satisfaction of a job well done is all the reward you need. Honest, guv.

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 the folks on this thread are 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).
