10. Which of Henry VIII's wives was the youngest when he married her?

 

[Uncle Leo]

1) - Theseus

Ok, should've left it at 3 Liverpool players scored. All players given are right, as is Theseus.

2) the double 6???

 

[Davros]

5) Violet Beauregarde

 

[OldBlueLady]

Ok, Blue Peter is indeed 50 this year, and Violet Beauregarde was the 3rd ticket holder, Sir Toppham Hatt is the Fat Controller.

Dick Dastardly's car was not double 6, and Henry VIII was not married to Lady Jane Grey.

5 down, 5 to go.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Was the brother Benjamin?

 

[OldBlueLady]

Was the brother Benjamin?

Yes it was, which is why he hides the cup in his sack.

I meant Jane Seymour, but think it's actrually Catherine Howard

I meant Jane Seymour, but think it's actrually Catherine Howard

I thought you did! Yes, it is Catherine Howard who was only 13 or 14 - and already an "experienced" young woman. Mind you, the Boleyn girls were a lot younger as well than they are portrayed in The Other Boleyn Girl film.


3 left I think - Ben Nevis, Dick Dastardly and the Powerpuff Girls.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

2 - 00..........

 

[OldBlueLady]

Yep - double zero or 00. Ant got that one wrong when we used that on Challenge Ant!

Did a geography field trip to Ben Nevis and it's in the region of 4000ft I think.
