Some clues to the questions not answered yet

2.  Frances Ethel Gumm (Film Star)   She went to see the Wizard.   I've corrected the spelling of her first name, sorry I had pasted it from the web site I was looking at when I did the quiz.

3.  David McDonald  (Actor)  EDITED:   He said he was a Doctor, but everyone questioned it.

7. James Michael Aloysius Bradford  (Actor)  Started his career playing a brickie on a building site in Germany.  The gobby one.

10.  Which Rachel is married to one of our Royals?  Majorly upset the Queen earlier this year.

 

Identify these adverts from their slogans

15.  You can be sure of -----   Its a brand of Petrol found on the beach

19.  Calm down dear, it's only a commercial.   This was a Winner, and that's not taking the Mick.

 Well done Helen, all correct, thanks also to Doug, Riel and Vince for taking part.

I've just tried looking for the advert from the 80's, but can't find it.  I used to work in a petrol station just outside Bristol in the early 80's and would pass a shell garage on the way, and would remember tagline.

The only ads I can find are from the 50's/60's so it's possible that was in the back of my mind.
