Probably an easier quiz. At the club tonight there was one score of 19/20. I left the club, got into the car, and the answer to #16 was playing on Radio2.
All answers start with the same letter.

Usual request: Please do not answer in the thread. Claim the number you score. I will reply to PMs.

I think I have all 20, although No. 19 was a guess and I had to look up No. 7

I figure I might have 17 - more if I'm lucky.

I have no clue about No. 2, and I'm guessing with No. 3 and No. 9
Looked up 7, 11 and 19.

Doug hits the spot with 20/20

Jeri misses a few, but with a couple of valid alternative answers!
4, I wasn't expecting 'Station'
6, I hadn't thought of 'settling'
3,9 & 19 also need work
