Gee whizz @Mi-Amigo 

I did watch open all hours liked the humour.  Names of actors  singers etc.,  don't come easy to me! I don't watch soaps but I may have heard the dog's name by chance but will  have to really try to recall it.   Nothing much up my street there 😒  old artists, unworthy politicians and dubious missions to the 🌙 🤣

[Cleoriff]

I quite like the quiz @TallTrees and @Mi-Amigo 😂

I watch a lot of TV, did an art course for 2 years, not keen on Space but have read a lot about various aspects of it.

Although I no longer watch Eastenders, I did back in the day when 'the dog' first came into the soap.

Also, only one 'unworthy' politician held all 4 positions listed. 😉

Just up my street (I hope) 😂
