AnswersAnswers
  1. It's Big Bird. Carroll Spinney, now 75, has voiced both Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird since the first episode in November 1969.
  2. It's Gorbachev, whom along with Walesa adopted a flat cap for a tour of Berlin.
  3. It's £60 for every taxpayer, says BBC economics correspondent Hugh Pym. The banking group announced its third-quarter results last Friday. Taxpayers have now poured £53.5bn into propping up RBS alone.
  4. It's Dimbleby - off sick for the first time in 15 years of hosting Question Time. Instead, audience and panellists were corralled by Today presenter John Humphrys. Meanwhile, Mr Blunkett was injured by a charging cow while rambling over the summer.
  5. It's "engaged with the cycle" - as in, officers are warned not to tackle criminals while "still engaged with the cycle". The Police Cycle Training Doctrine was drawn up by biking enthusiasts in forces across England and Wales. Police bosses rejected it on Thursday.
  6. It's funnyman Ben Elton, who has announced he's leaving Britain to live in Australia. Sir Michael said this week his latest character, Harry Brown, may be one of his last. And on Monday AC Milan signed a loan agreement with LA Galaxy for one David Beckham.
  7. It's the two-to-four legged missing link. This 200 million-year-old creature - a heavy, slow-moving animal found in South Africa - fills a gap in our knowledge of sauropod evolution.
