Doh! Should have got Calvin.

I am British
I am not best-known for wartime service.

I am not Jimmy Carter.

I’m going to guess Julie Christie for your IQ, if I’m wrong take 3 DQs as your other two have been covered by Biffy’s.

See above, take 2 DQs.

I was not killed in battle. You are still owed another DQ.

All other unanswered IQs can take a further DQ.

Actually, his first name was James.

Also, astorian got the Clampett-Moses relationship wrong – Granny was Jed’s mother-in-law.

The diver I had in mind was Jennifer Chandler.
