S T C Boxing Day Quiz
8 Answers
I am struggling with this section. Please can anyone help? The clues need a surname (shared by all three in every case), plus individual first names.
1 Scientist - Authority on Card Games - Murdered Diplomat (I am guessing Hoyle - Fred - Edmond - but I cannot find murdered diplomat 's first name, if Hoyle is correct).
2. Botanist - Contemporary writer - TV Personality (No ideas)
3. Comedian - Actress - Author.(No ideas)
4. Child prodigy - Fictional Detective - Archbishop (I think Temple - Shirley - Paul - Frederick).
5. Famous potter - US President - Astronomer (I think Adams - Trouda - John - Walter or John).
6. Composer - Cricketer - Clothing Manufacturer (No ideas !)
7. Golfer - Band leader - Film Star (I think Cotton - Henry - Billy - Joseph (but Joseph spelt his surname Cotten))
8. French painter - Cookery expert - Harpist ( I think David - Jacques - Elizabeth - but can find no harpist's names)
9. Sculptor - Soldier - Astronomer (appears to be Moore - Henry - John - Patrick)
10. TV Interviewer - Herbalist - Politician (appears to be Parkinson - Michael - John - Cecil).
