Once more unto the quiz, dear friends

Here we go again, King William's College quiz.

You know the rules - equivalent of looking it up in a library. (This means you can use Google if you've got an inkling of what it is and would be doing the equivalent of reaching for a book on the appropriate subject to check your answers but not to force-break the questions if that makes sense.)

4.1 is Victor Borge - a very funny sketch.

6.3 is Utsire.

6.8 Pope Joan was supposedly from Mainz

8.2 Malachi, speaking of Christ's second coming

11.1 letter Z

11.5 does alcohol count as food?

Another pun, perhaps? Eggs-> x

10.1 SW3 is Chelsea. Flanders joked in the introduction to the Gnu song that he lives in Kensington (W8) and Swann lives in Battersea (SW11) but calls it South Chelsea.

I'm extremely bad at this, but 9.8 is Dogbert, I believe.

8.4 Eric Carle wrote the tale of the very hungry caterpillar (who must be at the end of the food chain, by dint of eating everything else).

11.8 - 3410 is the melting point of tungsten, I'm pretty sure.

Haven't had a chance to think about the rest much yet.

16.5 The tomb of the Capulets, in the general neighbourhood of Verona.

And symbolically tungsten is W which fits with izzard/Z as the theme of the question.

Is 11.4 a pun? aerial punctuation is "i"

11.6 o - the story of the freehand circle

9.3 is probably the eider duck.
