    Scholar! Not any more. I once spent many years in a state of scholarship at the end of which I was handed a piece of parchment describing me as a D. Phil but I didn't know the first thing about philosophy!

    Which instrumentalist had 20 recordings in the UK singles charts between 1957 and 1963 including 2 no. 1s?

    While Looksee is re-boiling her tripe allow me to throw in another one.

    Winifred Atwell's recording of her composition "Black and White Rag" was the theme tune of a BBC TV production during the 70s and early 80s. What was the production?
