3) Who wrote The Hunt for Red October
4) Which character did June Whitfield play in Absolutely Fabulous?
Correct - you've got the theme.
For question 1 surely there are thousands of "correct" answers as a lot happened in each month.
For Instance:
Edward VIII became king in January of which year?
George VI became king in December of which year?
The question is
not about the month! Perhaps I should change the answer to "October 1936".
(I think we should take it as a general rule in this game that the theme word is never to be taken literally.)

Sorry, no. The question needs to contain the name of a month, but not a reference to the actual month (if you see what I mean).
But I didn't know that, so thanks for the information!

Both correct. (I thought someone might try to get away with "What letter does the word 'November' start with?"

)

Correct! Who wants to set the next one? (Incidentally, if you can think of any questions for February, July and December I'd be interested - I couldn't.)
