Multi-day cricket matches (where each side has two innings each) of the
highest quality are 'first class matches', and the teams that generally
[1] play these matches are 'first class teams'. International first class
matches are called 'Tests', and countries/teams that play these are said
to have 'Test status'
[1] The Oxford vs Cambridge Varsity match is considered First Class,
although neither side is considered First Class. Cricket is Complicated

that's the answer I was looking for - helped Jesus with his cross/carried
it, whichever. Not sure of the distinction here, though - As far as I
know, Good Friday is part of the Easter celebration, along with Palm
Sunday/Easter Sunday/Easter Monday, etc.

they have autonomy with their own government.
Greenland is also unique in that it is the only territory that has left
the European Union. (When Denmark entered the EU, Greenland did not have
the rate of autonomy they have today.)

I don't think it's the only one. St-Pierre & Miquelon was an overseas
department of France, which means it was part of France, from 1976
until 1985. But, as I understand it, for tax reasons its residents
did not like being part of the EU, so a new status was invented for the
place to make this possible -- it became a "territorial collectivity".

Maybe Greenland was the first? Greenland got its autonomy in 1979, but
I don't remember when they left the EU. Actually, I think it was later,
but I'm too lazy to look up.
I checked my atlas of France, and there is one more Collectivit� territorial
today(*), Mayotte.
(*) Well, its from 1998.

My first instinct would be "two big ones", but the big states in the west
tend to line up too well with each other to have as many as 8 neighbours.
So, two of the eastern ones with no coastline. Tennessee and Kentucky?

Finding the first two was just a matter of listing. I did not have the
energy to analyse the second question in detail. And I don't know the
borders in detail well enough to do it anyway. So I took a bet what seemed
logical.

As far as I have been able to find out, the question was already
out of date when it was asked. At that time there were apparently
only four players who had appeared in every season since 1992-93 when
the old First Division became the Premier League: Nicky Butt, Sol
Campbell, Ryan Giggs, and David James. (Two others, Ian Pearce and
Gary Speed, had played in every Premier League season until 2007-08,
but not in 2008-09.) Additionally, there was Gary Neville, who played
for Manchester United in 1992-93, but only in a UEFA Cup game, not a
Premier League game.
I also note that the question says "in the top flight", which I
would take to include the old First Division as well. Of the five
players, according to Wikipedia Giggs is the only one who played
in the First Division before the Premier League started (he started
in 1990-91), so to my mind he really was the only correct answer even
when the question was asked. But I decided to accept Butt, Campbell,
James, and Neville.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Mark, for researching the answers. I did wonder if you managed to
find a source for this particular question. I don't doubt it's the
answer that Keith intended, but BARB only ranks it as 7th that year
(17.8 million viewers). I guess the question was based more on knowing
which popular British sitcom broadcast it's final episode in 1981 rather
than knowing which was the most watched episode in British TV history
(which is a dubious claim at the best of items, given the many ways TV
ratings can be compiled)
I was one of the people who guessed M*A*S*H, it was the only sitcom I
could think of that had finished in the early eighties, but on
reflection I don't think it had a particularly high audience in the UK -
I seem to remember it was only ever shown on BBC2 and, as such, probably
struggled to get above 10 million even for it's finale.

Curious. The page I ended the previous search with was at the IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078703/trivia
This agrees with the claim in the original question. Searching further
now, these two pages:
http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/manor.htm
http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/tomanorborn.php
both say 24 million. One says it was a record "for a sitcom" and the
other says it was a record "for an episode".
