At the end of last week's edition Tom asked the following question, supplied by listener Alan Mills:
Fred may have been one who had far to go, and he was assisted by one who tried hard. When the latter's turn came, he was assisted by a man from the North. When that man's turn came, his assistant could have been descended from Shakespeare's wife. In which city would they all be found?
Well done if you said Oxford, and worked out that this refers to Inspector Morse and its assorted TV prequels and sequels.
Fred may have had far to go because his surname is Thursday, and Thursday's child proverbially has far to go. DI Fred Thursday's assistant in the series Endeavour was Endeavour Morse, whose name suggests he tried hard.聽
When Morse became DI he was assisted by Robbie Lewis from Newcastle - and he in his turn, in the series Lewis, was assisted by James Hathaway, who might perhaps have been related to Anne Hathaway.

Q1 from Anna Slowey: Why might Jessica, Harvey and Hazel have felt at home on the set of Till Death Us Do Part?
Q2 from Andrew Ison:聽 What links Le Morte d'Arthur, Noughts and Crosses, a disappearance on Everest, and Darrell Rivers?
Q3 (Music) from Ivan Whetton: To be candid, in what way might you say these extracts make their mark?
Q4 from Thomas Moore: Where would you be if you were observing the movements of a swift ornithoid, the top dogs in Yokohama, St Patrick's young sprig, and feuding tycoons in Denver?
Q5 from Charlie Bloye:聽 What has been demolished by a consumptive chauffeur, a slave given to innuendo, a truant Chicagoan, a Machiavellian Chief Whip and a cafe-owner in pursuit of a priest?
Q6 (Music) from Phil Fenerty:聽 Why could you describe these as the icing on the cake?
Q7 from George Gillespie:聽 What untimely news did the following people receive only because they were quick: an English Romantic poet, a flamboyant American showman, and the radio cricket commentator Rex Alston?
Q8 from Andy Robertson:聽 Unlike most RBQ questions, why might the link in this one be described as obvious? The two personae of a female TV entertainer; an indoor sports 'People's Champion' and the TV programme that displayed his game; and a dashing American actor, in translation, and the real-life character he played in a 1950s film.
