A nice difficult one, with room for educated guesses puts me in the top five!

The questions took a lot of reading this morning. But one lucky guess and a couple of obscure trinkets of knowledge helped to compensate a little.

Too slow and too wrong for top ten: I have only seen two Dolly Parton films. The answer was not among them as they were Little Whorehouse with tickets comped for us by the producers in return for market research and 9 to 5 which I worked on when it became a touring Broadway musical. The only film I ever saw about a beauty shop was Beauty Shop...

Yes, it's one of my favourite books. My favourite bits are the inconsiderate courtship of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn and J's consternation that he doesn't have Housemaid's Knee.
Got two wrong in today's quiz. Drat and double drat!
