I was going to say the only one I didn't know is Ralph Little. Then I Googled him - and he's in Death in Paradise, so of course I know him.
So, 4 out of 4. A definite first.

Richard Osman is well known in the UK for co- hosting the Quiz show 'Pointless'. He has just ventured  into writing novels. His first one called 'The Thursday Murder Club' was a huge hit here in the UK
