I need just one more set to make the quiz viable. If that entails answering "Susie Dent" for every question, so be it.

There was a round with just 2 competitors before, I believe. But, please, if anyone could put answers together, I would appreciate it, as otherwise there wasn't much point me making the effort. Remember, all quizzes in this series count.
