Is this the one where the wicket was prepared by a prisoner from the jail next door?

Was this the series were a game was abandoned and an additional one added?
If so was this the additional match meaning it wasn't supposed to occur.

Spot on.
The second test at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound started on 13th February but was quickly abandoned due to the dangerous state of the playing area and this match was arranged at two days notice.
Your turn to catch us out with the next question.

In a moment of confusion during some constitutional changes the UK has decided that the throne does in fact belong to the Stuarts.
King Charles is deposed and his heirs and successors sent into exile.
Assuming the offer of the crown was accepted what would the name of Britain's monarch be?

I'm not so sure. Don't think he'd keep his German name -
Franz Bonaventura Adalbert Maria Herzog von Bayern,

You have indeed the correct person.
He may or may not keep his German name but I doubt he would choose to be Frank
Not that it matters as it isn't going to happen
Anyway you are the rightful heir to the question setting.

Is the correct answer. It makes a sound similar to yodelling.

That odd piece of information was in one of Spike Milligan’s wartime ‘memoirs’ and has stuck in my memory for half a century, finally to be of use.
The final words of which film are: There is still time..Brother , and (as a bonus) what is slightly different about it to most final words?

Stanley Kramer --- On the Beach - a weird post apocalyptic film - made around 1956-1963 I seem to remember?
Not a clue sorry!

Correct. What slightly different is that the words are not spoken, but on a banner above where a religious group, possibly the Salvation Army, had been assembling. But there is no one to read it as everyone has died and Melbourne is a lifeless city The film was released in 1959, but set a few years into the future.
(I was waiting for someone to post, as my posts always seem to get absorbed into my previous one.)
For @GRALISTAIR to launch the next question.

A nice easy one. Which President apart from Trump was voted out of office and after a 4 year gap was voted back in?

Thank you. The position of Vice President was empty until Johnson was elected on 1965. Who was his Vice President then?
