1. Which group recorded a song which told the doctor that the singer had "a pain where there once was a heart"?

3. Doctor Zhivago was an epic movie with a very memorable score. The best-known piece from the score is this character's theme

Answer: Lara

The movie was released in 1965. Yuri was Dr. Zhivago's first name, Lara was his affaire d'amour, Pasha was her husband and Tonya was the doctor's wife. Confused? Almost as confusing as the history of the Russian revolution . . .

7. Which doctor gave the Beatles a sip from his "special cup"?

Answer: Robert

The song, "Doctor Robert", was recorded in 1966 and appears on the "Revolver" album.
