And no I am afraid to your answers - so, three more to go = 2, 4 and 5 ;)

4.
Cilla Black
James Brown
Both Motown artists in the 60's listed by last to die, first. Or first to die, last.
5.
Both are trading centres and Singapore was a town in the Malay Archipelago. Zanzibar is a Tanzanian Archipelago. Listed by oldest trading centre or Archipelago first ? Failing that, they are both (except Singapore) names of Pubs.

Both wrong, but there's logic in there somewhere.................................I think. :)

James Brown Motown? I don't think so, let alone Cilla. :S

2 Yes! Not many people would remember the silver thru'penny bit called a Joey.

5 Yes, see below.

4 No and...............

5 Yes. :)

The "Road To" films:-

Singapore (1940)
Zanzibar (1941)
Morocco (1942)
Utopia (1946)

I call "too esoteric" on the Road To films as a "sequences" question. Fine as a "connections" question. Also the first four Carry Ons probably too hard for Joe Public (except for Carry On buffs).

:( These are not from Pointless or The Chase. Dunno what you think of some of the what I would call really obscure specialist ones on Only Connect.

I thought you liked to be challenged. ;)

Someone dressed as a Telegoon with a mask is complaining other people are esoteric!
