Questions, Questions, Questions

I have been a question-setter for several years, submitting challenging puzzles for some of the most long-running quiz shows including, BBC Radio 4's Round Britain Quiz and Brain of Britain.

RBQ questions are cryptic and generally have 5 or 6 elements. Some of my submissions are shown below, for you to try and solve.

The answers are in the Exclusive section.
