Answer: 'Hill Street Blues'

2. Dr Eric Foreman appears in which medical show?

Answer: 'House MD'

Dr Eric Foreman is part of the team led by Dr Gregory House. Other leading characters include Dr Lisa Cuddy, Dr James Wilson and Dr Robert Chase. The show usually features some unusual case for House (and team) to solve, while delving into the various continuing sub-plots.

3. Abby Sciutto appears in which show?

5. Which sit-com has a character called Mr Michael Woodman?

Answer: 'Welcome Back, Kotter'

Michael Woodman is the harassed principal in this school-oriented program with main characters Gabe Kotter, Juan Epstein and Vinnie Barbarino. Such classic insults as "Up your nose with a rubber hose" spring to mind when thinking of this show.

6. Which Australian police show had a character called P. J. Hasham?

Answer: 'Blue Heelers'

Sr. Det. Patrick Joseph Hasham appeared in this excellent program with Sr. Sgt. Tom Croyden and Sr. Const. Margaret 'Maggie' Doyle. The show gave a good picture of the laid-back policing style used by country cops compared to their city counterparts.

7. Which Australian sit-com featured a character called Craig Bulpitt?

Answer: 'Kingswood Country'

Craig Bulpitt was the smart mouthed son of Ted and Thelma Bulpitt in this show where the 'star' was a never-seen car, the Holden Kingswood. Thelma found herself caught in the middle of the domineering Ted, Craig and son-in law Bruno.

8. This American sit-com had a character called Cliff Clavin. Which one?

Answer: 'Cheers'

Cliff Clavin was the put-upon mail carrier, always sitting at the bar with best friend Norm Peterson. The starring characters were Sam Malone and, successively, Diane Chambers and Rebecca Howe.

9. This British show of different series with some changing characters at one time had character called DS Mike Jardine. Which show?

Answer: 'Taggart'

DS Jardine first appeared under the original DCI Jim Taggart, rising to lead the team when Mark McManus (Taggart) died in real life. Jardine himself died on screen. Other continuing characters were DS Jackie Reid and DI Robbie Ross.

10. Which British comedy features a character called simply Granville?

Answer: 'Open All Hours'

Granville is the much maligned assistant to Albert Arkwright, who operates a corner store. Albert's love interest is Nurse Gladys Emmanuel, Ronnie Barker (Arkwright) is one of the biggest names in British comedy, while David Jason (Granville) graduated to more serious roles.
