Boudacia Geraldine Granger then? This was the name given when Alice's child was Christened - and that episode has just been on tv when I switched it on! Spooky!

Sadly that is not the name given when she got married and that episode was on tv the other night, which I thought was a risk
asking the question but possibly not as many people watched it as I thought!

If nobody guesses it by 11am tomorrow then a clue will be given.

 

[OhNoAPacer]

I don't know the answer but I half remember that her middle names were songs from Mary Poppins

You are correct, her full name was Geraldine Julie Andrews Dick Van Dyke Supercalifragilisticexpialidocius Chim-Chiminey Chim-Chiminey
Chim-Chim-Cheree Granger - when married became Kennedy !!!

On checking further Boadicea is quoted as per @MotCO although isnt mentioned at the wedding which was the final episode, an apology
to @MotCO for saying his answer was wrong.

Therefore there is a tie break question between @Loppylugs , @MotCO & @OhNoAPacer .

Who composed the music for The Vicar of Dibley please ?

Howard Goodman?

Howard Goodman?

You're so close that I'm going to give it to you, its Howard Goodall.

The Pulpit is yours to ask the next question.

Thank you to everyone who took part.

 

[MotCO]

Thank you.

The sermon this week is as follows. Who are Mike's six friends, in which month is his birthday, and what are his two favourite dances?

 

[Gloster]

Charlie, Juliet, Oscar, Victor and two from India, Romeo and Sierra. November. Foxtrot and Tango.

Bravo! Treat yourself to a Whiskey!

What was the first novel written on a word-processor?

Yes that's correct. It seems as though my curate has answered on my behalf

Could some kind person explain? I get that it's the military alphabet for radio communication, etc. -- but, beyond that ...?

 

[OhNoAPacer]

Mike is M so hence looking for Mike's friends etc.

Sorry to be so thick; but why those particular six? -- or is it just random, and it could be any names / letters?

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

When I set the question, I counted seven names in the phonetic alphabet, although with Sierra, it could be eight. So it's Mike plus six or seven other names. Likewise, there is only one month, November, and two dances, Foxtrot and Tango.

 

[Calthrop]

I see (I think). Thanks.

If you include Sierra you might as well add Delta (Goodrem).

Sorry, I missed that it was actually you who had set the question.

You could have others. I have heard of a girl called Echo and you can have where did he go on holiday (two choices), what type of accommodation did he use, what did he play, and what did he drink? After that it does get a bit tenuous, although you can also ask about the in-flight film, although I doubt they would actually show it nowadays.

The next question is in #20,921.

Actually three - India, Quebec and Lima (or Hotel for four)

You didn't respond to #20,926, did you miss it in the confusion?

 

[Gloster]

Yes, I had lost track of what this referred to, but I am afraid it is wrong. It was nearly a decade earlier.

 

[DaleCooper]

Rendezvous with Rama?

 

[Gloster]

Rendezvous with Rama?

Still a few years too late. The author is not a science-fiction author.

Catch 22

Catch 22

Sorry, you have shot past by nearly a decade to 1961.

 

[Gloster]

As a clue I will add that the writer did some cookery writing early in his career, but is best known for thrillers.

Correct author, but a much shorter title.
