Marty - all three correct. Good knowledge of politics/sexual politics.
Gary, 12/13 - Good point. Soz, 13 (oddly omitted) will follow this.
So you were right about 12!
1066 and all that - so you've been watching the TV series on the Normans too. Creepy presenter. Could play Dracula. Or Larry Grayson.
Danny -
Correct are 2, 4-6, 8-12, 16, 18, 20 . Good effort (12/19, and others v close).
Same comment/apology as to Gaz (see above) about 13. Which follows ...
14, 15, 17 - only a year (one or two months) out.
7 - not according to my sources at least! Which could be wrong, of course ......
Others (1, 3, 19) are also more than one year out.

PS on 13:
Despite Hutton's best efforts, batting at 6 and then 8, the visitors still lost after this!

I thought I'd got 20 out of 20. When I didn't, I was stumped and sooked off.
