    Well done Grinning, I thought that one would be really tough. Yes, prefixed with 'The' these are the titles of the episodes in the first series of Steptoe and Son. Over to you mate.

    I remember reading an article a while ago about the deep animosity they had for each other in real life, and couldn't but admire them for their ability to be professional and create the masterpieces they did; our lot could learn a thing or two from their approach!

    Haha, nice one!

    Probably an easy one, but who said;
    'They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they kept only one. They promised to take our land, and they took it'

    Sitting Bull? I'll resist the temptation to run off a list of Native Americans and stick with him.

    Really good guesses, especially Kevin Costner, but not yet. This man won a significant battle against the US Cavalry, and forced a treaty from the government which assigned large tracts of land to his and other Plains Nations as a consequence of that victory, and he lived a long natural life.

    Cochise...no he wasn't Plains...Spotted Tail.

    'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' is a terrific history of the conquest of the American Indians, but the stuff I remember is from George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman books, which are outstanding history and great entertainment. 'Flashman and the Redskins' is the volume, and as its title indicates the attitude to political corrctness is in keeping with the attitudes of the era the books cover. Genius.

    doh. Of course it must be Red Cloud, a true hero who tried to save his people and their way of life through talking and was betrayed by the US government every step of the way. I am certain you are right Cologne, nice one, but will leave Grinners to confirm.

    OK. This one is unfortunately easy to google - so try guessing first.
    What is Royal Jelly ? And why are workers not allowed much of it ?
