Wine

Honey?

Manna?

McDonald's?

Ah, no - that was Morgan Spurlock.

None of those.

Milk?

It was indeed milk from her cow.

She was apparently a goddaughter of King Arthur. One day her cow wandered onto the land of a neighbouring lord who killed it. In a future of rage King Arthur slew him, but she brought him back to life.

It strikes me that if she had just brought the cow back to life all the unnecessary slaying could have been avoided!

You may now beatify us with another question.

No. 3 ?

 

[SuspectUsual]

Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams was originally released in 1985. What position did it reach in the charts?

I’m sure this will get the QI klaxon, but I feel obliged to say 69

 

[Donny Dave]

Both incorrect.

 

[MotCO]

I'm assuming there was something different / special about the chart position. I'm saying it didn't make the charts or wasn't entered for some reason. Maybe it made the charts when it was re-released?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I know nothing about pop music or the charts, but I'm guessing the No. 1 position is too obvious so I'll say No. 2 - a pure guess...

[Donny Dave]

Let's try the answer to everything then: 42

Correct. The record was officially a flop, as it failed to reach the top 40, despite it being a hit in quite a few other countries.

Over to you to compose a new question.

Next up:

Porto-Novo is the capital city of which country?

Well, with that name, it must be somewhere with a coastline and with a Portuguese colonial past, so I'll start the guesses with Mozambique.......
