Thanks for accepting Binnie as an answer to the space q - QI was at the back of my mind... 😉

I thought someone would think garden makeovers might include characters called Filthy and Catflap, the Rich being the late Rik Mayall 😔

Great quiz, @Mi-Amigo, in the run-up to the 500th question coming later 👍

I was lucky with that one @pgn. Probably because I watch all garden makeover programmes
