[Jon Masters]

Don't feel quite so bad now as I have never seen Rhoda or Albion Market

Welcome to Day 10, and it's another Doctor Who book for you to identify:-

Well I didn't know Rhoda, never seen it and wow, Albion Market. We did used to watch that, but I'd never have got it. I was sure it was a BBC detective theme!

I was youtubing detective themes for the third one too. I think it's because it's quite "Bergerac" in style. I was looking at game shows & sit coms for the first one but would never have come up with Rhoda. I was on the right track for the second tune, but again I would never have guessed that.

Only for the teacher to mark it all wrong; in red.

[Rob McCow]

Delta cubed, multiplied by the sum of 'x' squared?

It's as easy as Pi!

We're not allowed to use red - it's too negative. We have to use green !

[SiHart]

So much more positive!

[Rob McCow]

Your school is mental.

[Philipnet]

Can I get a vote for BLUE please?

[SiHart]

I'm more of a Season 18 guy personally

Okay time to put you out of your misery:-

1. Rhonda (70s American sitcom shown here on BBC2 on Monday nights as I recall. I loved the unseen Carlton the Doorman)

2. Day of the Triffids

3. Albion Market (80s ITV soap)

No wonder I never got 1 or 3. I've never seen either of those. Should have got 2 though.

[Nyder]

A begrudging well done for yesterday, most of you got it correct. Curses. Is was indeed this book:-



The name of The Doctor you might say

Welcome to Day 11. I really can't decide if this one is really easy or impossible. It's hard to be objective when you know the answer! Anyway, here we go - who's this?

Well I think he looks quite recognisable (but maybe that means I'm wrong....)

[Rob McCow]

I'm going to go for 'Impossible'.

[Nyder]

Thank you. That's what I wanted to know.

[Nyder]

A few housekeeping notes.....

As I'll be a busy boy on Saturday, I'll post Friday & Saturday questions tomorrow. As ever, you'll have till Monday 6am to submit Friday, Saturday & Sunday answers.

Have a fiendish weekend

Yep.

[Nyder]

Well it seems that yesterday did fox some of you, which as always pleases me greatly *evil chuckle*
It was not Jon Pertwee, neither was it John Noakes. It was in fact ..... a young BILL BIXBY.

So today's question is a Who Inventory. I'm going to name some items that appeared in a classic Who story, and you have to tell me what the story was.

1. Dettol
2. Bunk beds
3. Queen Victoria statue
4. Black Daimler

Good luck!

Welcome to Premature Saturday Day 13. Are you feeling lucky?

It's another music question. 3 more intros for you to unravel - only this time they're all playing at the same time, with one song fiendishly low in the mix. They're all Number 1's from the 1970s, so what could be simpler?? I want the SONG not the artist please.

[Rob McCow]

For your first one - do the items have to actually appear, or just be mentioned?

For the others, have we got until Sunday to answer them?

[Philipnet]

Hi Rob,

You've got till Monday to answer them all:

As ever, you'll have till Monday 6am to submit Friday, Saturday & Sunday answers.

[Nyder]

They have to actually be visible on set Steve!
