I Claudius

1) Churchill Bros, Tiddem Rd and Round Glass are all football teams in which country? India

2) 'Just an Illusion' and 'Body Talk' were hits for which band? Imagination. True story - they played at a summer ball while I was up at Cambridge. I'd gone roof climbing that night because the porters were always a bit off guard in the summer and I lay on the roof of the Chapel in St John's College (not my college) in the beautiful summer night thinking about life and listening to Imagination doing a live set a few hundred yards away. Good times.

3) In which city were the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics held? Innsbruck

4) St Columba's Monastery is on which Scottish island? Iona. Another true story - stayed on Iona for a couple of nights on our honeymoon. Went to a service in the Abbey one evening. Magical place

5) Harvard, Yale and Princeton Universities are collectively known by what name? Ivy League

6) 'It's like 10,000 spoons when all you want is a knife' is a line from which 1990's hit? Idea (none)

7) Which actress (who died aged 54 in 1990) was married to both David McCallum and Charles Bronson? Jill Ireland, sad story

8) In mythology, whose wings melted when he flew too close to the Sun? Icarus, the silly sod. His dad warned him

9) Who topped the charts in 2002 with the song 'Hero'? Idea (none)

10) Who wrote the plays 'Hedda Gabler' and 'A Dolls House'? Ibsen

I thank you very much, Saucy!
