Each week's questions will be posted on the day of transmission.

Q3b - ONLINE VERSION Why would a world tour by the bands behind Ventura Highway, Heat of the Moment, and Carrie have been much easier a very long time ago, especially if they’d gone on stage after Agharta? Q4 What is the ecclesiastical connection between: Francesco Stephen Castelluccio Artichoke, tomato, mushroom and prosciutto A gardening business in Philadelphia And a 1725 contest between Harmony and Invention? Q5 Look closely at this travel itinerary and see if you can uncover the secret destinations: Take a promenade around the Colosseum, or an opportunist visit to the land of Carthage.

What ties them together, and which stands apart? Q7 (from Simon Meara) What links… Some Dutch Caribbean islands A lifesaving mnemonic An Agatha Christie novel featuring Mr. Cust A defunct cinema chain And why might they make you think of Mississippi’s capital? Q8 What links … A composer who taught Liszt and wrote exercises for nimble fingers Jamie Lee’s father Dostoevsky’s final masterpiece A reggae band who Don’t Turn Around & A famous TV matchmaker.
