Who What Where

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.
