Today’s quiz concerns Shakespeare plays that contain people’s names in the title. I’m looking for each Christian name and each surname that appears at least once in the title of his plays (so if the title has a character’s Christian name and surname that will be two answers). If the same name is used in more than one play title and refers to a different character the name only counts once - all 23 answers are different to one another. There are 23 names in total and Sir Thomas Moore is not included as the play is disputed as to who actually wrote it I believe. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play.

REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to midnight tonight.

A music-based quiz today covering the 1950s to the modern day. Below are 25 pairs of songs, each pair being top 30 UK hits for the same recording artist(s) – you have to name them.

You have two big clues to each pair of songs – the year they were hits and the fact that every artist(s)’ name begins with the letter D. To clarify, the D will be the first letter of the name on the record with the one exception of groups starting with The. So, for example, Cliff Richard would be regarded as beginning with C but The Shadows would be regarded as beginning with S. Some easy but some more difficult. No internet use of course. Oh and watch out for my crafty trap on one answer.

REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to 8pm tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier.

I like to inject some variety in the quizzes so here is one about celebrity spouses. Even if, like me, you pay no attention to celebrity gossip, you will know some of these. Below are 12 famous people who have been married more than once – the total number of times is in brackets. How many of their spouses can you name? Two points for each full name (pre-marriage in the case of wives) and one point for a Christian or surname only. So 90 points in total but if anyone gets anywhere near that I’ll be gobsmacked – I didn’t recognise quite a few of the names. Naturally you can only guess up to the number of spouses in each case and no internet help of course. Do have a go and good luck.
