In Star Trek, Captain Braxton is played by Allan G Royal. I don't have a clue about anything Star Trek, but the Royal and the tube station like Braxton prompted the answer.
Also, if GKR got 6/10, shouldn't at least 4 questions have incorrect answers? There should be 9 total, I count 6.

Hmmm not sure I can give you the bonus point, but that is deep thinking!
GKR only gave me 7 anwsers and left 3 questions blank.....

Not sure it was deep thinking, so much as do a Wikipedia-page search for 'royal' and seeing if anything came up related to the tube!
What's the explanation for the real answer then?
