Again, a cultural thing I think. However, I put internet abbreviations which wasn't accepted... it would be helpful if you could include the answer as well as the explanations. Thanks for setting

Most of these have a UK bent so I'm kind of used to getting 4 or 5 out of 10 when I play because I don't know TV presenters or Snooker players. I know the feeling. Trying to get a good balance, but not quite there...just missed the one answer row...sorry & Thanks for feed back.

Not complaining about the cultural differences. I often get them as I lived in CA for a few years (but quite a few years ago!). Thanks for setting the grids - any grid is always appreciated (unless it's one of these recent 'no connection' oddities!)

Sorted out some groups but did not get any of the connections so the groups were based on the structure of the components. Beaten all ends up with this one. Tough challenge.

Nice in general!

The animal groups seemed a bit arbitrary. I think that kind of connection would work better with only one group of animals, and then some extras that serve as crossovers to other groups.
