[Andy Mellon]

1) Hmmm. Not sure on this one...

4) Turandot? The sports event Italia '90 (Football World Cup)

7) Kung Fu Fighting (wu chop!!)
8) T'Pau
9) John Peel
10) At least 2... Virgin and EMI... Though I think A&M might have been sniffing.... So, I'll say 3 for now.

1) Haircut 100?

[Richard Jenkins]

Well done you guys!!

I correct by ttfc
2 incorrect but a good guess. think mint sauce
3 is correct for the group but the artist? think junk food
4 is correct by andy
5 is correct by andy
6 was indeed jimmy saville, and the cohost was.....
7 correct andy
8) correct (andy)
9 correct (andy)
10 I think it was EMI, then A&M for like a very short time then Virgin so three? I thought 3 anyway..

[Andy Mellon]

Oh, I thought question 3 was asking which group or artist - not asking for both. Well, as the biggest selling artist is Elvis, it has to be him - especially after his recent re-hits!

For 2... Mint sauce, eh? I''m thinking Lamb now... There is a band called Lamb... there's also one called Lambchop... They aren't exactly mainstream though!!

[Teatime FatCat]

Do you know, I've never liked Lamb Chops. An utterly pointless cut of meat in my opinion.

[Richard Jenkins]

Hurray.
Lamb did indeed produce 'angel gabriel' And lamb chops are rather bad cuts of meat; You need about 10 for a meal and then spend 3 weeks brushing your teeth to get the bits stuck in your teeth out.

Elvis has had 18 no. 1's and the beatles 17. Any guesses for 3rd?
