Because it’s late here, and my brain is not functioning properly, I’ll only answer the last two questions. (They’re supposed to be the hardest anyway, no?)

  1. Adrian Edmonson. He is Saunders’ husband (and a comedian in his own right, appearing in among others The Comic Strip Presents…, The Young Ones, and Bottom.)

Bonus question. “Edina Monsoon” is a near-anagram of “Adrian Edmonson.” Also, “Monsoon” is the name of a line of fashion stores in the UK.

OK, one answer before I give up for the night. Third season, question 3: “Razzle,” a “top-shelf” magazine.

Saffy: “I don’t know where one gets those disgusting things anyway.”
One of Saffy’s friends: “Well, there’s a shop down the road where you can…” <embarrassed look>

4

Edina’s retort to the art-gallery girl:
You can drop the attitude, you only work in a shop, you know.

5

Not bad. :slight_smile:

6

CORRECT. :slight_smile:

7

EDina MONSOoN -> Edmonson. In the original French & Saunders sketch, her first name was…? (Another bonus question.)
