    Who are these and what connects them?

    One of the group members had a yacht named drum?
    First appeared in Ester Rantzens 'big time' working 9 to 5 in 1980?
    The sun always shone on TV for this band?

    I know two of the above and am making an guess on the third. Were they all 'licensed' to perform songs?

    The yacht Drum rings a bell for me in association with Durran Durran.
    A-ha performed a James Bond theme song, as did Durran Durran.
    I'm guessing that the middle clue also performed a Bond theme song also and am guessing Sheena Easton.
    So, all Bond song performers.

    In the hope that that's the answer you're looking for here's an odd one for you.

    My thinking on that one was, As far as I know, Drummwas part owned by Simon Le Bon and a Scottish guy, and I think Sheena Easton is also Scottish. I was still wrong though��

    It's a very good question. And the answer evades me.

    Something like 'Liberty shining on the world' but not.

    No, that's it. Watching a documentary on WW2 and it's the only question I had.

    You're up.

    That will do nicely. The other was CS Lewis.
