HELP ME IF YOU CAN COS I'M TIRED OF THIS QUIZ

[ON THE ROAD]

1 Which pop star was once described as being a mix of Joan Crawford and Marlene Dietrich ?
2 Which current flavour of the month once played a member of the Von Trapp Family on the BBC?
I have never taken part in a quiz where I can't find verifiable evidence for answers to ( 27 ) questions. I have a few *educated* guesses !!! Every year I try it hoping to do better and I know no-one is forcing me to do it, but where do they get so many obscure questions, that initially seem straightforward . For instance why is there no info for * the birthplace of the first woman to drive buses for a living* I have tried libraries, local studies, books of firsts, it is quite a significant first in social history so why no info .....please excuse the ramblings of a sad old quizzical quizzer....listen I can hear the padded van ... they are coming for me now... peace at last... peace at last !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"""""

whoops didn't realise this had gone onto a second page. I know pop 9 and will reveal if any of the literature pics are answered.

5 On literature looks like Alan Ayckbourn

[voidoid]

Sorry not no8 ,got that one.Meant no9

[voidoid]

Dear me, on reflection Alan Ayckbourn should be one of the easier ones on there.
sticking to the deal no9 on pop is Martin McAloon, Prefab Sprout bassist and brother of the more well-known Paddy.

check out Maisie Raine for number 9

[redhand]

I'm not doing this quiz,but have been following the posts avidly to try to help.I have just found a group that fits the answer to having 10 songs in top 10 positions concurrently.Would you like the answer or a clue?Polly

[voidoid]

I'll try a clue for now to keep the fun alive.

[redhand]

tv and films 8 and 10 are still a problem

[redhand]

in picture 10 she could be screaming or else singing

[ON THE ROAD]

Can I open another *can of worms * with another problem, question 31 in the General Knowledge. As far as I can tell they met in london on Wed 18th of June and also in the Bronx, New York on exactly the same day. Although this is not impossible, it seems improbable. One meeting was official and one by chance (allegedly) I suspect this why this quetion is in this devious quiz. Can someone have a look at it and see if they agree with the facts, as stated
As stated previously Voidoid if I can repay you for your help please ask I don't have any of the photos mentioned so fa,r but I have noticed that no-one has mentioned Gen know. no.8 is this an easy one and do you all have it.

You're welcome ON THE ROAD!!!!

[redhand]

have not a clue on number 8 As far as Q31 I believe they met in the Bronx.Later someone else recalled talking to dianna about the meeting

[Polly1958]

The clue to the group that had 10 songs in the top 10. - There were 5 of them,2 of them were brothers.

[redhand]

on picture 8 GK .Those look like red beads around the young guys neck

[redhand]

in the lirerature section Q12 about agatha christie.It asks about a novel not having a female suspect .The suspect is not the murderer necessarily.So it will be her first novel that has lots of male suspects.
