Bonus cryptic question

Feeling brainy? BCG's Ian Wolf likes devising additional, obfuscated brain-teasers as an extra challenge. See if you can work this one out. You'll find the answer in the next quiz.

Shakespeare's judge, Margolyes's monarch, and Johnson's visiting doctor have connections with a family... and they all went on to repeat outside it too. How?

(Note: you need to name not only the family, but also what the 'repeat' refers to)

Last week's cryptic question

Why does someone need to be in Hungary to meet a gift shop owner, a magnetic surgeon, a lovelorn perfumer and someone who has a apple delicacy?

Wayne Mason, Gary Parkinson and Kate Emmett - three quiz regulars - figured out the links to this one.

See the answer

This question is all about the various roles played by Tamsin Greig.

The gift shop owner is Fran Katzenjammer from Black Books.

The magnetic surgeon is Green Wing's Dr Caroline Todd. For some unexplained reason, her hand becomes magnetic on a full moon.

The lovelorn perfumer is Alice Chenery from Love Soup, who works on a perfume counter in a department store.

The apple delicacy is the hardest part of the clue... it points to Friday Night Dinner's Jackie Goodman and her signature "Crimble crumble".

The reason someone would need to be in Hungary is because Greig's most famous role outside of comedy is that of Debbie Aldridge in Radio 4's The Archers. Due to Greig's various TV roles, they moved Debbie to Hungary, freeing her up... but she still appears in the show from time-to-time.
