Programme 5, 2016

Last week we asked: if certain citizens of Irbil in Iraq enjoyed coagulated milk, and those of Stockholm ate rutabaga, what kind of oriental soup might they favour in Helsinki?
This was about homophones for foodstuffs - so Irbil is home to a large population of Kurds (curds), citizens of Stockholm are Swedes, and the soup the Finns might enjoy would therefore be (shark's) fin soup.
Tom will keep you guessing with another teaser at the end of the programme.

Q1 Which French aristocrat, notorious for ill-treatment of the opposite sex, might commit murder at a girls' school, enjoy Danish cheese while watching a long-running children's TV programme, and finally dance an Austrian waltz?
Q2 Why might it be appropriate for Shirley, Charlotte, Mr Douglas and three cricketing brothers to meet on holy ground?
Q3 Music: Why might none of these want to stay and fight?
Q4 To judge from appearances, a royal winter retreat seems pleasant, the seat of the Plantagenet dynasty infuriates, and a mining town magnifies. To the locals, however, this may be baffling. Why, and where are they?
Q5 What would a nocturnal hotel employee, an emoticon, the little gentleman in the black velvet waistcoat, and someone seeking shelter in winter, all be doing together in the Square?
Q6 (from Ivan Whetton) Music: What might make these extracts particularly catchy?
Q7 (from Richard Saunders) How might the god of doorways, Joanne Woodward's Oscar, Gutzon Borglum's monument, and Manfred Mann's first studio album, lead you to something you'd put in your tea?
Q8 Which smashing venue going strong since the 1870s might be a fitting home for Malorie Blackman's literary series, a popular salon offering and a phillumenist's collection?

Why could Andreyev's Seven, before a sporting fixture with a level score and a billet shared with Tommy, leave you in pieces?
