That's probably true as well but there is something linking them all.

Nope. Ronnie Corbett and Bill Roache are their real names.

They’ve all appeared on Noel’s House Party?

If they all have (I don't know) then there isn't an odd one out.

They've all been number one at something, except Sooty who hasn't had a Number One.
Mr Blobby - no 1 Christmas single
Jim Bowen - no 1 TV show (Bullseye)
Ronnie Corbett - no 1 TV show
Cliff Richard - no 1 Christmas single
Bill Roach - no 1 longest lasting actor in a soap

I'd give you Blobby, Cliff Richard and Bill Roache but I'm not convinced of the other 2.

It was driving me nuts so I cheated and googled one of the persons mentioned. Blimey,that seems so long ago !

Sooty was the only one to appear on television in the 1950s.

Nope. Both Ronnie Corbett and Bill Roache (pre Coronation St) appeared on television in the 1950s.

They've all appeared been given a BAFTA lifetime achievement award except Mr Blobby?

Surprisingly none of them have.

A bit random but have they all worked with Peter Kay? I remember both being in the Amarillo cover he did, along with Bill Roache, and Jim Bowen was in Phoenix Nights. I'd guess the odd one out as Sir Cliff.

Spot on. A look alike Cliff Richard did appear in the video but not the real one!
Your turn to go to Amarillo.

Who were the eight goalkeepers who played for the England football team (men's, full internationals) during the 1980s?

Yes to all 5 of these, and as you have the most it's your turn between the sticks.
The other 3; Clemence, Corrigan and Seaman were named by Peterthegreat and MotCo. Phil Parkes should have played more but Don Revie annoyed him in the 70s. Nigel Martyn was 90s.

I imagine lots of people in Wales are named David Davies. But by what name did the one who was born in 1893 become famous?

Angel Falls in Venezuela is the world’s tallest uninterrupted waterfall. Why is it called that?
Named after the aircraft pilot who 'discovered' it.

Correct. He may not have been the first non-local to see it, but Jimmy Angel first reported it in 1933.
To you to set the next question.

Which model of road vehicle has been produced in the greatest numbers?
