Northern Echo Questions

[ON THE ROAD]

Further to my previous entry, here are the questions I personally am finding tough and suspect most other people are too. They are printed here word for word. I realise I am asking more than one question, but if all the other people taking part just refer back to this entry, then everyone will get these answers. And if they have other queries at least there is no need to repeat these. So this is on behalf of everyone.

Film and T.V.
1. Who sometimes operates under the name Suzie French ?
2. Which tv characters were donated to charity in the mid-sixties and then had to be rescued when public reaction to them was extremely positive ?
(Suggestions so far do not appear to fit)

Sport
Which American won a famous sporting trophy twice for Australia and once for New Zealand.? (The Americas Cup does not appear to fit)

Music
1. The members of which early-Eighties all-girl group each adopted the band's name as their own surname ?
2. Which trio were originally called purple ?

The North East
1. In which village is Old Nanny, a supposed witch with cross eyes, pointed ears and a humped back supposed to have lived ?
2. His favourite film is Police Academy IV, his favourite song Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners and his favourite food is lemon cheesecake Who is this mystery man ?

General Knowledge
Which is the last year in which all six Nobel Prizes were won by the same country ?
(this question is nowhere as easy as you might think)

I hope this meets with most peoples' approval. I will detail the photographs later
Cheers

Have you tried searching for "superbrain" in the search box on here, OTR? Some of these questions have already been asked many times on here.

boxtops please drop three or four questions back and read my previous entry and read the explanation as to why I have taken time out to do this. Thanks

as far as the nobel prizes are concerned all data indicates that no country has ever on all six
the closest was 1976 when usa won 5 the odd one being the peace prize going to northern ireland

[ON THE ROAD]

That is exactly what I have found redhand that is why I said it is not as easy as it looks
unless the question is wrong of course !
