Here is the morning report:
Becca7 27
JenL 24
Sharkie/Raffo 22
Dvorak 20
JennyH 20
McGoohan 16
Roesehip 9
If Jen had know 7e, she would have taken the lead
Kudos to Rosehip for being the only person to get the answer I was looking for on 6. There are other possible answers but I'm holding out for the songwriter on that one.
Still no correct submissions on 9. although I know Sharkie has worked it out now.

Yep - I should have got number 9 ::kicks self
Especially since I had a quite lengthy conversation with Smallest about the Diamond Dogs album, his current Bowie favourite, and I'd actually picked out Big Brother as my favourite song on the album. I discounted it as the quiz answer because I couldn't think of a Stevie Wonder song of that name, despite having listened to Talking Book at the weekend.
Some things are just not meant to be
