It is indeed. 'Bethlem' somehow became corrupted as 'Bedlam'

OK, Forester. Which opera is based upon a newspaper series of a forester and the various animals he comes into contact with - one in particular

They're all actors but I suspect you want something more specific than that.

All played characters in Death in Paradise.
You are correct - Don Warrington plays Selwyn Patterson - Ralf Little plays DI Neville Parker and Tobi Bakare plays Officer Hooper

Sticking with TV, what was the name of the wine bar run by James Willmott-Brown in Eastenders in the late 1980s?

It was indeed! Also the nickname we gave to one of the bars in our student union.

Two part question on Sunderland:
1. In which year did Sunderland become a city?
2. In which decade did Sunderland AFC last win the league? Bonus points if you know the year.

One correct. One incorrect.
Just been watching a re-run of Antiques Road Trip, and they started in Sunderland. The voice over referred to Sunderland becoming a city in 1992
I'll plump for 1970s (winning the 2nd Division)

Issue must be the date that Sunderland AFC last won the Football League. I'll go for sometime in the 1930's.
For clarity, do you mean the top flight competion, or any league?

It was the 1935-36 season. The last time a team in stripes won the league.
A 1-1 draw between SteveM70 and Mcr Warrior.
However, as SteveM70 got a correct answer first and even provided background information I shall declare him the winner on penalties.

I think that would be Portsmouth, between 1939 and 1946?
Spot on, and even quicker than I expected. All yours.....

I grew up in the bad lands of inner London in the 1970s, pre-gentrification of most areas. My walk to and from primary school necessitated in me traversing a very steep incline (all the more steep when one is young) known as Spring Hill. I didn't realise at the time that 'Spring Hill' is the English translation for an international city when translated from its country's official language.
The name of this city, please.
