Are they songs 1st aired on radio stations as Flowers in the rain by The Move was 1st on Radio 1 in 1967,

so was The Sound of Music the 1st on Radio 2 by any chance. Not sure which radio stations the others were 1st though.

Yes, indeed they were.

Flowers in the Rain sung by The Move was the first song on Radio 1​

​

The Sound Of Music sung by Julie Andrews was the first song on Radio 2​

​

Bridge over Troubled Water sung by Simon and Garfunkel was the first song on Capital Radio​

​

Not Fade away by The Rolling Stones was the first song on Radio Caroline​

​

I have no idea about the other one - I never watched The Bill or Holby City, and suspect the lack of responses suggests others didn't either.

You are correct - its Rosie Marcel who used to be Smithy's girlfriend in the Bill who of course was Alex Walkinshaw - Fletch in Holby.
I'm happy to accept the character name in Casualty as this quiz has been running for quite awhile now!

I think we will wrap this quiz up now as it has been going for a while and let someone else have a go.

The other answer I was looking for who appeared in Holby & The Bill was Kaye Wragg who played Essie DeLuca in Holby and died
before marrying Sacha Levy in hospital, she had cancer.

Thank you to everyone who took part.

@Mcr Warrior & @Trackman both got 4 correct answers, so could I ask you both to decide who asks the next question.

Which English football team(s) has/have unsuccessfully applied to join the Scottish League, but, notwithstanding this setback, have then gone on to win the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium?

 

[MotCO]

Berwick (Rangers?) ?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Berwick (Rangers?) ?

No. They, of course, did get into the Scottish League in the 1950's, and managed to stay there until just a few years ago, when they dropped into the Lowland League.

The Wee Rangers certainly haven't won the (English) FA Cup, though!

 

[perryman]

Was this Wimbledon/MK Dons (not AFC Wimbledon) when they were going through the start of the franchise issue?

Scrap that, from the timeline mentioned in the question it can't be.

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Was this Wimbledon/MK Dons (not AFC Wimbledon) when they were going through the start of the franchise issue?

No, not Wimbledon / MK Dons or AFC Wimbledon.
