Correct - Auric owned it, Oddjob was his chauffeur.

What threw me is that usually Goldfinger drives himself to Skegness on Easter Monday while Oddjob visits his mum in Basingstoke but this year he went on Good Friday instead. Anyway next question:

Blur, Small Faces, Stephen Sondheim, Georgie Fame, Richard Harris - what's the connection?

They have all performed on stage in a serious or dramatic role?

Were they all in Harry Potter at some point?

( I know Richard Harris was and I can't be bothered to cheat and look up the rest - half of whom I have never even heard of, so I'll guess it anyway even though I'm 99% likely to be wrong! )

I was gonna say "Musicals" but then I thought.. Have they all won Oliver Awards (nope) (nor grammys)?

Commemorative Plaques in their honour ?

Richard Harris recorded that infamous version of McArthur Park, Blur did Park Life, so I'm guessing that the others all recorded songs with park in the title too.

Keeping with music for the moment:
This band has seen many lineup changes, these are the initials some of the better known members who spent long periods with the band. What’s the band?

Max Romeo?

Not the one I was thinking of. I'll have a look at that one tho.

As far as I could see, only wet dream was banned by the beeb. Right music genre tho. The one im looking for had eleven hits, all banned by the BBC, which is a Guinness world record.
