Q3 AS WE ALL KNOW, GENDERS ARE FROM DIFFERENT PLANETS....
B - In the early 1960's, filled with strife and turmoil, a new national TV network arose in Canada, privately owned CTV. The theme to their newscast might logically have come from Mars - the Bringer of War, but it was from Jupiter - The Bringer of Jollity.
Oh, and those come from a suite called "The Planets", by which British composer?
G - This Wagnerian title opera character sorta gets lost in the Venusberg. More or less. I gotta learn more German.... He also has a first name, though not in the opera title.... The name is Heinrich....

OK, the Wagner guy is Tannhauser

Winston Churchill. Because he was a very versatile guy.

Sorry T-one, but I don't even understand enough to know what the first Q is!
The second is a WAG...
No, actually, I don't know that one either.
0 for 2 on this one!
Hey can Tinrinrin help our team out?

Benjamin Britten? I just remember that my stoopid nephew was babysitting my son one night and to get him to go to bed, he told him the CTV Television Network would get him if he didn't go to bed. From then on, everytime he heard "This is the CTV Television Network", he would go ballistic. We couldn't figure out why for the longest time. Said nephew thought it was a great joke but never babysat again.

When I was in college, I was fascinated with the Hesse book, Magister Ludi, and I devised an entire Glass Bead Game (the object being to connect everything with every other thing on Earth) for which the key to solution was The Planets.
I know. That over-long sentence can't possibly make any sense to anybody but me.

To borrow one of Dave Barry's recurrent gags, I think Heinrich Mannuvah would be an excellent name for a rock band.

Annie wants to know if she may insert a character by that name into her opera.

She says that will BE your part, because the name works perfectly with what she's already done. She's already written most of your aria.

Holst and Tannhauser.
I am broken up by the comment about the nephew and the CTV television network...;.;.
I am going to call the score a tie....
