Good tries there zbee, but it's a 'main' character, from a sitcom. The mineral is also a birthstone, and I guess you know by now, the answer is not quite as straight-forward as it seems. Aug 21 06, 9:12 PM

Pearl (TV series), a 1996-1997 sitcom starring Rhea Perlman and Malcolm McDowell Crystal on Roseanne Aug 21 06, 10:18 PM

Ok, perhaps it was a little vague, so here's another clue: The mineral's name derives from a combination of an Arabic and Persian combination depicting colour variations. Aug 21 06, 10:42 PM

Uggggh. One too many combinations there, but while I'm here I'll add that this character had a son who lived with someone who shared a name with a Roman King. Aug 21 06, 10:48 PM

I was thinking Garnet - as in Alf Garnet from 'Till Death Do Us Part. Very popluar in the UK in the 70's, but I thought he had a daughter not a son?? Aug 22 06, 3:19 AM

Yellow zircon is called hyacinth, from a word of East Indian origin; in the Middle Ages all yellow stones of East Indian origin were called hyacinth, but today this term is restricted to the yellow zircons. Hyacinth Bucket is the main character in the successful BBC sitcom, Keeping Up Appearances One of the most famous gags is Hyacinth receiving phone calls from her son Sheridan, who is away at university with his roommate Tarquin. Tarquin may mean either of two kings of ancient Rome. Thanks, peasy, for beating us over the head with clues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zircon Aug 22 06, 4:43 PM

Who is the main character in the book series "Man of the Family"? Apart from Highgate, which London suburb shares its name with one in Birmingham (it's just outside West Midlands)? Name the island northwest of Madagascar which was part of the Comoros until it voted to become a French dependency in 1976. It shares its name with the last name of a tennis player from the 1980's? Can anyone remember both the name of the song and the TV series it belongs to, whose main character is a dog who saves people, with the following lines from the song: "Down the road, that's where I long to be. Every step I take I'm making new friend's?"
