Amber Rudd?

Correct. She is listed as "Aristocracy Consultant" because she helped the production get upper-class extras to appear in the wedding scenes.

What was controversially built in 1934, against the local council's wishes; demolished by the council with a steamroller in 1938 but rebuilt after the council was sued by the owners; demolished by accident during World War II in practice exercises but rebuilt by the War Office; and finally demolished in 1959 after the council compulsorily purchased the land on which it stood?

The Cutteslowe Walls in Oxford

That would be the famous Cutteslowe Walls in Oxford, built to divide a housing estate into middle and working class people.

Berlin had nothing on this one

Yes, absolutely correct! Quite an incredible story of snobbery.

Which now-famous singer, 18-years-old at the time, performed the US National Anthem at Game 3 of the 2008 Baseball World Series?

That would be Taylor Swift, of all people.

Correct. I didn't know this until YouTube's algorithm offered me a video of the performance. Let's just say, you wouldn't have said "That girl will be a billionaire one day." The game was played in Philadelphia and Taylor was introduced as a local. At the time she'd had one album out and one Grammy nomination (lost "Best New Artist" to Amy Winehouse). Amongst other anthem singers that series were the Backstreet Boys, Patti LaBelle and John Oates (without Daryl Hall).

Everyone's got to start somewhere ...

You may have heard of the EGOT, winning each of the four major US entertainment awards (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). Who is the only EGOT person who has won at least two of each award?

That would be Robert Lopez, I believe.

That is correct.
For those who don't know, Robert is a songwriter who has won for work including "Let It Go" from Frozen and "The Book Of Mormon".
What I hadn't realised was that last weekend, at the Creative Arts ceremony, songwriters Benj Pasek & Justin Paul became EGOTs #20 & #21, winning their first Emmy for a song that featured in "Only Murders In The Building". Their previous work includes "City Of Stars" from La La Land, The Greatest Showman and Dear Evan Hansen.

Where would you find the trailer for the movie "Rob Roy" and the music videos for "Good Times" by Edie Brickell and "Buddy Holly" by Weezer together?
