Name that cover star: 5

Hundreds of stars and familiar TV characters have appeared on Radio Times front pages down the years.

To mark the fifth outing of our quiz, here are five cover teasers from the last five decades. Can you guess the stars or TV programmes? There's also a clue with links to Genome listings. You can find the answers at the bottom of this post if you're teased too much. Happy guessing and tell us your memories of these programmes evoke.

You can also have a go at previous editions of the quiz.

1) This 2007 drama was rewarded with a wraparound Radio Times cover to mark its conclusion in April. Name the series.

2) This pouting temptress was photographed by David Bailey to mark a momentous event for her screen persona. Name both actress and character.

3) This popular import made the front cover of the Radio Times in April 1983. Name that show.

4) These cute doggies are the stars of this 1978 cover for a popular drama of its day, but who is their human companion here? And name the show too.

5) And we finish back in 1964 for the forerunner of today's phenomenally popular Strictly. It was a slightly different beast then and with a different host. Can you put a name to the face?
