Who Is? [BB312]
Perhaps more a trivia quiz than a word puzzle this week, but can you link all thirteen entries to manifestations of the one name?
Bear in mind that this same name may apply to a connected character, a creator, a surname or first name – though in every case, speaking generally, it’s the one answer for every clue. Question being, which name, and who specifically is the baker’s dozen being implicated?
- Inspector Morse
- Christy Brown
- White Witch
- Queen of Hearts
- King of Comedy
- The King
- Great Balls of Fire
- McLaren Mercedes
- Long jump
- BHP
- Nova 100
- Workin’ for a Livin’
- Biggest Loser
Wish to make another one-name quiz?
SOLUTION NEXT WEEK
BB311 SOLUTION: Gapes, Magpies, gypsy, eggplants, agapanthus, grapevines, Egyptians, Galapagos, mugwumps, kingpins, fingerprints, signpost, bagpipes, glockenspiels
