Christmas Puzzles
I’m going to take a break for two weeks from today because readers are less likely to be around over Christmas and the New Year. I’ll start posting again on Monday 6 January, picking up from where I left off.
I know everyone is always busy having fun over this period but just in case you’re at a loose end, here are a few puzzles! They’re along the lines of BBC Radio 4’s Round Britain Quiz, but easier! They all have links to ancient TV and radio!
- Who are these? Jeff Scott Virgil Alan Stan Gordon John Which one is the odd one out and who is he?
- Who links these names but when (day, month and year)? Jacqueline Hill, Delia Derbyshire, Carole Anne Ford, Verity Lambert If you could add one name to the list to make the answer immediately obvious, whose would it be?
- What links the BBC World Service, Rock a Bye Baby, The Old Pretender?
- Where else might you find a river in Venezuela and Columbia, a town on the Island of Mull and an Eastern European Country. The latter is a rather distant relative.
- Who was nanti riah? The answer is not beyond our ken.
No prizes but feel free to share your answers in the comments or ask for hints!
