After some more pondering we may have had a related question before.

Did they all suffer from mental health illnesses ?

Charles Dickens was bi polar. iirc
Queen Elizabeth and Van Gogh both had mental health problems. I cant remember what they were.

JFK and Shakespere i think both had mental health issues that were kept secret or not diagnosed while they were alive.

The only other thing i can think of is have they all appeared on bank notes and coins from various countries.

Still not what your looking for i suspect but they have all had books written about them by somebody else. I've got nothing else at the moment.

Oops - already had the banknote answer anyway. Apologies SPK. Must read questions properly - and it seems the answers too.

The theatre?

Oh bloody ****. Have they all appeared in Dr Who?

Specifically in a role of a villain? I recall the Brigadier was taken over at one point

I think I'm insulted ;)

I have a nasty feeling that that one may have been asked already, but I can't find it.

So, who was the first couple to shown in bed together on prime time TV?

I dont thinks its been asked Chris.
If its cartoon couples then i would guess at the Flinstones or the Jetsons.

If its real people / actors then how about The Odd Couple.
