First one is/was "Ask the Family".
An impressive 7 correct. The incorrect ones are 1, 2 and 9.
Yes, you are correct.
Only numbers 2 and 9 to get (but I think we know who is going to ask the next question
)Correct
Only 9. Shaw Taylor, Edward Woodward and Jon Pertwee to get now.
This was a series which ran from 1972 - 1978. The first two episodes were hosted by Shaw Taylor (of Police 5 fame); 7 episodes from 1972 - 1973 were hosted by Edward Woodward, and the remainder by Jon Pertwee. The theme of the show, which could lead to the title, can be gleaned from the choice of the first host.

(I thought that Face the Music was going to be the tough one.)

Thank you
In the “big 4” American sport leagues (American football, baseball, ice hockey and basketball) there are a total of 123 teams. The vast majority have names ending in an “s” (New York Yankees, Dallas Mavericks etc) but 9 don’t. Name them please

Great question! As a fan of American sport (mainly baseball) I can immediately think of the Red Sox, Miami Heat and Utah Jazz.
