(I'm not much use this week!)

Also think 2 is St Stephen and 5 is Arabian Nights aka Tales of 1001 Nights. Wish we had been given MM's verdict on kissing Tony Curtis...

Well I thought it was Stephen, Marina (only as I'm sure exactly the same quesion was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire and that was the answer, not because I know anything about the early Church), but the answer in the quiz was St Alban. So one of them must be wrong.
I'll post the other answers later. What about the lyric, girls? Think back to your disco years in the later 70s...

St Alban was the first British Christian martyr. St Stephen was the first ever.

Oooh, well done, I'd been trying to remember all through dinner.

ionesmum - thanks for clarifying that! KS - well done, I was sure it was a Beatles song so was completely wrong.
Others are:

1 Lewis Carroll

6 swimming the English Channel
7 London Bridge

9 Arizona
10 Juke Box Jury
11 Manhattan- invented by Churchill's mother, apparently

Oi Fionn, I answered Pulp Fiction!!

WWW - yes, I know, well done!! I didn't know that one.
KS- I go to a weekly pub quiz on Weds nights and jot down a few of the more interesting questions for my cyber friends here!
