Another quiz, untitled this time. The first answer should give you the connection for the other 19!

As usual:
Please do not post answers in the thread

I will usually respond to PMs, and scores can be claimed in the thread. Answers should be available to 'transpondians', and clues for (nearly) all answers can be found Here if you're getting stuck.

Finally my usual caveat liberties may have been taken with spellings & pronunciation
