Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Vulpine actor travelled back to the future several times

Answer: Michael J Fox

Michael J Fox is a Canadian actor who played Marty McFly in the 'Back to the Future' trilogy. His real name is actually Michael A Fox, the A being for Andrew, but he changed his middle initial to J in tribute to Michael J Pollard (and to avoid 'Canada, eh?' jokes!) He got his big break in TV as Alex P Keaton on 'Family Ties', and later appeared in 'Spin City' and 'The Good Wife'. Since 1991, he has suffered from Parkinson's disease, and set up the Michael J Fox Foundation, which funds research into Parkinson's.

Answer: George Lamb

George Lamb is an English TV and radio presenter, and the son of former 'Eastenders' actor Larry Lamb. He presented a show on the BBC radio channel 6 Music, which drew some criticism due to being more similar in style to the youth-oriented Radio 1, and Lamb's shock jock tendencies. He drew particular criticism for an awkward interview with Kinks singer Ray Davies. He also presented 'Football Tonight' on BT Sport. His TV presenting gigs include 'The Bank Job' and 'Big Brother's Little Brother'.

Her self-produced, self-titled second album was banned from Walmart because the song 'Love Is a Good Thing' contained a line about Walmart selling guns to children.
