A7   Marsupial. Quizzers also gave "mountain monkey" or "rodent" as answer. Its name means "monkey of

         the mountains" and is described in reputable websites as "rodent-like appearance", so, as we have

         had some difficult quesions recently, I`m going to be generous and allow these as correct answers

Q8 TV 2 - What is the name of the mascot, which often features in animations, in ITV`s "Catchphrase" ?

A8   Mr Chips
