10. In the French and Saunders Christmas Puddings special from 2002, who were the comedy duo supposedly house sitting for?
Richard and Judy.
Important Point About Question 10:
Everyone except three players put Richard and Judy as their answer. However, I do acknowledge that the Radio Times itself and the BBC Genome site and claires_dad's website (which collates information from the Radio Times) stated "Rock Star".
I couldn't refuse this as an answer as it wouldn't be fair, considering the information was conflicting. However, I am determined to act fairly and reasonably, and considering the majority did infact put Richard and Judy as their answer, I have decided, that whilst I gave the point to those who put "Rock Star", in the event of a tie-break at the end, the person who put Richard and Judy will supersede those who put Rock Star. I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh, but I had to take into account that we had 16 entries and thirteen of those entries put Richard and Judy.
