We've had 82, we've had 80, I'll continue the pattern and go for 78...

No, not 78.

 

[444045]

Lets try 77 years old.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Drat... OK... next guess I'll start filling in the gaps.

79.

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Lets try 77 years old.

That is the correct answer but it is not my call but the questioners - he was about 1 month short of his 78th birthday.

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Lets try 77 years old.

Yes, as GRALISTAIR has already confirmed.

One thing that was something of a surprise when researching this question was that the Duke of Windsor/Edward VIII was almost two years older than Wallis Simpson.

[MotCO]

Any clues for no 10? (and I don't mean Downing Street!)

 

[444045]

Any clues for no 10? (and I don't mean Downing Street!)

Clue for no.10 - its a spin off of another series in the 60/70's.

 

[Trackman]

You have 1 correct.

So that will be The Bill, the London borough of Canley.
Holby is definitely in Wyvern, unless you are not counting counties.

Holby is definitely in Wyvern, unless you are not counting counties.

You are correct Holby is set in Wyvern - I am looking for another programme also set in Wyvern.

 

[MotCO]

Would that be Casualty?

 

[444045]

Would that be Casualty?

Yes you are correct, both Holby & Casualty are set in Wyvern.

I am looking for another programme also set in Wyvern that was also a spin off but this one was in the 60/70's
and was police based.

 

[MotCO]

How about Softly Softly Task Force?

(I also thought Holby City was based in ...... err, Holby City)

 

[444045]

How about Softly Softly Task Force?

(I also thought Holby City was based in ...... err, Holby City)

You are correct with Softly Softly Task Force. Holby is based in the district of Wyvern. Holby is in a fictional city, hence the hospital name.

What connects the following songs:

• Flowers in the Rain sung by The Move
• The Sound Of Music sung by Julie Andrews
• Bridge over Troubled Water sung by Simon and Garfunkel
• Not Fade away by The Rolling Stones
• Changes sung by Gavin James

 

[444045]

Are they songs 1st aired on radio stations as Flowers in the rain by The Move was 1st on Radio 1 in 1967,

so was The Sound of Music the 1st on Radio 2 by any chance. Not sure which radio stations the others were 1st though.
