One of the Yorkshire Three Peaks in North Yorkshire? I'll go with Ingleborough, but the correct answer could just as easily be one of the other two.

Afraid not....although very prominent, it's actually quite low.

At 788 m (2585 ft) above sea level, it was the highest point in Yorkshire prior to the 1974 local government reorganisation....but the peak is now the highest point in Co. Durham!

I'm afraid it doesn't count as it's a man-made structure!
Not by a long chalk!
Yes and no....try a different one!

Sorry we true Yorkshire folk don't recognise this!

I'm afraid Wikipedia obviously wasn't written by a Yorkshire person....although my wife says it should have been!

In that case I'll go for Whernside.

Correct....at 736 m/2415 ft above sea level - although the summit is shared with Furness & Westmorland (formerly Cumbria). Your turn to put on your walking boots.

What or who were Hullabaloo and Custard?

Custard was a cat in the Roobarb cartoons - I would hazard a guess that Hulllabaloo might be one of the bird characters in it?
Strictly a guess as I've only ever known the names Roobarb and Custard...

Not Roobarb and Custard.
I think a clue may be necessary.
A 60th anniversary has just passed and they were connected with that company.

They were involved with the start of BBC2?

Indeed so but can you guess what they were?

Kangaroo Mascots?

Yes. Hullabaloo was the mother and Custard her Joey. Quite a bizarre choice of characters.
They were dumped by David Attenborough when he became controller of BBC2.
Your turn to change the channel….
