    Got 4 & 6. Knew the name of the journalist for 2, but not the pub.

    I didn't stand a chance with 3. As for 8 I put the SE6 Fellowship & Star which is reported to have been owned by Henry Cooper.
    I had Harlequin as an answer for 9!!

    Is Punch & Judy a common pub name? I can only think of one!!

    Number 4 was possibly the easiest to just guess and I was right. I've watched numerous programmes about this incident but remembering other essential facts isn't that easy as they are normally on late at night.

    Yes. I think that The Fellowship & Star is the pub most closely associated with our 'enry but I wanted another one to link him to Muhammad Ali, who visited The Haverstock Tavern, which I mentioned in my review.
