yeah this is probably the most difficult round, sorry... I just didn't want to reuse the same old questions about Tudor kings and Roman emperors

The French empire one is quite difficult since there are a LOT of present-day countries that were, at some point, governed by France and none of them seem "obvious" (at least to me, anyway). The Ottoman one should be an easier "obvious" answer once you google where it was, though, I think.

The only question I felt iffy including was #4 because it was something that seemed obvious to me when I was writing it, but without knowing the name I was thinking of, I'd imagine is quite daunting

That freeviev channel question, I didn't pick any of the ITV 2, 3, 4 or E4, or BBC 4, because I thought they were part of the ones you couldn't have. Obviously you meant just the first five channels and not all BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, channels.

Less than a day left to submit answers for this round - I've so far got them from Alf, Black Dagger, Cherie, MTVN, Strictly Jake, James, Nick, Niamh, hijaxers and Calderyon.

Therefore I'm missing them from Daniel-X, Denver, Mitchell, Jessica, LukeB, Kazanne, Kate and Ashley (plus anyone else who wants to join in late... you probably won't win but it's still fun to take part! )

Right now there are three questions where everyone has given the same answer... I won't be saying which

One question already has seven different answers

I'd guess that questions 3 and 13 are two of the three.

There are several questions where this scenario is possible so this is actually tricky.

I can see at least 11 possible answers.
