Excellent quiz - the P really threw me for a while! I would note the Q programme begun long before 1994, but that's a minor pedantic point.

@Jason_H: I've amended the Q question to reflect the fact that it started long before the current presenter and have referred to David Dimbleby as the 'current' presenter. Thanks.
