Who? What? Where?

Our fun weekly quiz in which we ask you to figure out people, places and things in the news...

WHO AM I?

● I started out as an actress, once appearing alongside Terry And June’s Terry Scott in his 1960s sitcom Hugh And I.

● I’ve had five husbands and met my first when I was 17 and he was 32. I cried through my wedding from ‘sheer terror’.

● I give talks on Thomas Becket and the Black Prince at Canterbury Cathedral, right.

● I trained to be a cheetah handler in Cape Town. ‘Cheetahgirl’ was my username on dating sites, where I’d reject smokers – and Sagittarians.

● I sang Anything You Can Do alongside Gloria Hunniford and Esther Rantzen at the 1982 Royal Variety Performance, in front of the Queen Mother. One wag said: ‘Never have the words, “No you can’t” met with such audience agreement.’

● One of Britain’s best-known newsreaders, I last week revealed I find it hard to get voiceover work now because my King’s English accent doesn’t ‘tick the PC boxes’.

WHERE AM I?

● Anglo-Saxon king Offa – of dyke fame – is thought to be buried here, and King Canute ‘laid waste to the whole shire’ in 1016.

● A 20th-century religious group called The Panacea Society believed that I was the original site of the Garden of Eden. Nobody else agrees.

● Almost a third of my population have some Italian ancestry, thanks to a 1950s influx of labour for my massive brickworks (I once had 167 chimneys). I have also had a now-defunct range of vans named after me.

● Famous people born here include Ronnie Barker, above, John Le Mesurier, Carol Vorderman and John Bunyan, who wrote The Pilgrim’s Progress while in my prison for his unauthorised preaching.

● Universal Studios is opening a theme park here, bigger than the one it has in Hollywood.

WHAT AM I?

● I’m in the middle of nowhere and you can’t have happiness or health without me.

● In Spain, I’m always silent. In England, I’m often dropped. After all, I can be a bomb.

● I’m two scientific constants: big, I define how fast the universe is expanding, small, I determine a photon’s energy.

● I’m the lightest element, run hot rather than cold, and can be a hospital, heroin or a heliport. I’m a singer in Steps and a bent copper in Line Of Duty.

● Presenter Amol Rajan this week sparked debate on how to pronounce my name, after complaints he was doing it wrong on University Challenge.

ANSWERS: Jan Leeming, Bedford, the letter H.
