2. 'St Ogg's Cathedral' was the ecumenical setting of which gas of a TV comedy?

Answer: All Gas And Gaiters

This show dates back to the days of black and white. Sadly most of the stars are now dead, but it was a pathfinder in as much as it lead the way for church based comedy. Its main stars were Derek Nimmo and Robertson Hare.

3. Castle Howard was the setting for which gloriously lavish series?

Answer: Brideshead Revisited

Answer: A Touch of Frost

David Jason, who plays 'Inspector Jack Frost', is recognised as the UK's finest actor. Other roles include 'Del Boy' in 'Only Fools And Horses' still rated as the best comedy series of all time

5. 165, Eaton Place, London is the high class address of the life of an MP and his family. What was the name of this successful series?

Answer: Upstairs,Downstairs

The life and times above and below stairs gave the nation an insight into the life of the early 20th Century. It spawned many stars such as the late Gordon Jackson and Meg Wynn Owen.

6. 'Sodor Island' is the setting for which series, which will be spotted by the highly trained eye?

Answer: Thomas The Tank Engine

'Thomas The Tank Engine' by the 'Reverend Aubrey' was beautifully translated into stop frame animation. The original series had Ringo Starr as the voice over

7. Cabot Cove, an idyllic setting for which refined murder and mayhem series?

Answer: Murder, She Wrote

Angela Lansbury is the star of this series. Originally just the star, she is now the executive producer. 'Murder, She Wrote' has been running for many years and it was rumoured that it was finished. But, true her professionalism, Angela Lansbury made a further series owing to public demand. Who knows how much longer it will continue?

8. Darrowby was the setting of which everyday story of professional people?

Answer: All Creatures Great And Small

'All Creatures Great and Small' was the true stories (slightly embellished) of James Herriot the Yorkshire Vet and were based on books of the same name. Most contained the magical 'feel good' element.

9. Tracy Island was the home of an international service of rescue, what was the name of this programme?

Answer: Thunderbirds

'Thunderbirds' is still showing some 30+ years later. It featured puppets with not only 'wire', but the first attempt at 'animatronics'. The family name was Tracy, hence their home, and was the invention of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson who still control all the rights. They are currently in discussion to make their first movie of the same name.

10. Walmington-on-Sea is the coastal setting for which group of gentlemen?

Answer: Dad's Army

'Dad's Army' has been voted the number one series of all time. Featuring classic stars such as Arthur Lowe as 'Captain Mainwaring'. It also was voted as having the best one-liner. This lovely bunch is captured by the Nazis and when the Nazi General asks for their names Capt. Mainwaring says to his young officer 'Don't tell him your name, Pike.' The written word can never portray the timing and delivery this classic line made on the public.
