I've just been looking at the quiz from the Dinner a couple of nights ago (posted here on 225...... https://www.fifteensquared.net/2025/03/15/listener-dinner-a-treat-for-non-attendees/)

I've not quite completed it but have a couple of queries. I just wanted to check if it's appropriate to post questions about this particular event/quiz. I assume that all the answers were revealed on the night.

It’s fine

OK, thanks. I still haven't identified Y or Z. I've solved all bar number 2 which I guessed from all the other thematic material but I've no idea how it's derived from the picture clue (apart from the last word) so a hint there would be good please.

The other thing I was going to ask was what's meant by "1 Down" in the second sentence. But, even as I've been typing I've realised what it is (clever). So I assume that Y is the individual referred to there?

I can't see which item is doing double-duty to provide Z. I've tried Googling all the combinations with nothing leaping out at me.

Doh! I've just seen how 2 is derived from the picture clue.

Z is a Listener legend who unfortunately couldn’t make the evening

Ah, of course, yes. I was Googling the list quickly so never made that connection. Thanks
