Among the people born in this place are a former Doctor Who, someone who made her acting debut playing Michael Palin’s daughter and later achieved a degree of notoriety for a ground breaking kiss, someone who presents three weekly football shows and a Conservative politician who had a falling out with Damien Cummings not too long ago.

Correct and, apart from the fact I'm not sure I qualify as middle aged any more, I can relate to your last sentence.
Also, where on earth did Damian Cummings come from?

Perhaps you were still too focused on the Brookside clue!

4. Which non league side did City play four times in competitive games in a season during the nineties?
Torquay?
9. Handy Briton could lead to striker (7,4).

Re: Lockdown quiz number 11.
17. Making his debut for the City the day after a tragic world title fight, this Cwmcarn product stood out as a player with poise and ability, but, despite a notable double at a place with links to Northern Australia, he never really followed through on that early promise. His part in a City promotion was a minor one, but he did start in what was an important away win by an injury and suspension ravaged team towards the end of the season. After leaving us, he played nearly all of his subsequent first team football for sides with varying degrees of white in their shirts and a late attempt to re-establish himself at Cardiff did not go well – who am I describing?
Paul Maddy (agree with the description, always looked like he had time on the ball and I saw him score some decent goals away at Orient and Man City in the cup in the early 80s)
Re: Lockdown quiz number 11.
No 6 looks geared for me - Alistair Brack, Phil Watkins and Alistair (I think) Burns.

No. 9 is right, but it's not Torquay - this side were non league at the time and I don't think Torquay were then.

I thought you were a candidate to answer that one - The reference material I used to set the question was only able to give Mr Burns' initial.
