BLASTERMIND Presidents & Prime Ministers

NOW WITH ANSWERS A rogues gallery of Heads of State to identify

When we call this lot heads of state, the state we’re usually referring to is a state of emergency. They’re all sci-fi or fantasy presidents and prime ministers. Your job is to identify which film, TV or book they’re from and for extra points can you actually name them? (The fictional name, that is – you don’t get any points for recognising Jack Nicholson!) That’s 25 points in total, ’cos one of the pics has a bit of political summit going on, with both a president and a prime minister

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).
