Last week's closing teaser question was supplied by listener Martin Sirl, who asked: How might the setting for an Andy Warhol movie, Kate Mitchell in EastEnders, Alexander Wilson's motor company and Robbie Williams' first no.1 all help make you cross - and which is the odd one out?
Well done if you spotted that these were clues to names of bridges across the River Thames. The CHELSEA Hotel was the setting for the Warhol movie Chelsea Girls; Jill HALFPENNY played Kate Mitchell in EastEnders; Alexander Wilson founded VAUXHALL Motors and Robbie Williams' first no.1 was MILLENNIUM. The odd one out is the Halfpenny Bridge which is not in London but at Lechlade in the Cotswolds.

Q1 (from Gerry O'Keeffe)聽 The distinction between the following people is in the vowels - but which vowel is missing? An American media tycoon who inspired a screen classic; a player who wore the red shirt for England in 1966 and triumphed not once but three times; and a modern artist who got spots in later life.
Q2 (from Juha Sorva)聽 A wicked animal came down but never went back up. A media mogul's plaything went up but never came back down. A nanny and two children went up and came back down. The secret is that all of this could have happened in an Agatha Christie mansion. Can you explain?
Q3 (from Jonathan Roper) Music: Can you place these tunes in the correct order and say which is the odd one out?
Q4 (from Bill Armitage)聽 What strategic connection might there be between the island birthplace of an ancient mathematician, the rock band whose co-founder is an astrophysicist, the adversary of a patron saint, and a single malt?
Q5 (from Joe Houlihan)聽 Explain how M turns a single citizen into a race, a schoolteacher into a chess player, a noise made by a door into four tennis titles, and a young George VI into a nursery rhyme character?
Q6 (from Lorimer MacKenzie) Music: In what circumstances might you consult any of these, and which is the odd one out?聽
Q7 (from Roy Holliday)聽 Bruce's child psychologist, the same Bruce's cab driver, Tom's war veteran, Max's knight and Joe's pulp fiction author: can you put them in order?
Q8 (from Tanja Timmer)聽 Can you shine a light on the connection between a strangely corporeal guardian angel, a defender of the teaching of evolution, a golden-footed Dutchman and an esotropic African predator?
