I've been staring at this quiz for couple of days and am admitting defeat.
If anyone can put me out of my misery I'd be grateful. Here's the ones I'm stuck on..
1. Be sensible with your small coins
2. My selfie is terrible, yet I look fab
3. Always remember where your towel is
4. Music at twilight..in the north east
5. The lord of ham and cheese toasties
6. A TV show with Davina? Or Frank Skinner?

Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone..I actually just worked out 1984 by myself (honest!) and got no4 too..Sunset Song.
Just need the toastie one now. I'm thinking it has something to do with monsieur (ie croque monsieur) maybe?

Lord of ham and cheese toasties..it's not the Charterhouse of Parma. Any ideas anyone?
how do you know? is there a letter count?
A bit far fetched but.

The earliest mention of Croque Monsieur in literature appears to be in volume two of Proust's In Search of Lost Time in 1918.

There is an aristocrat in Vol. Two.
