The answer is 9 Lives of a Cat.

12 = S of the Z
54 = C in a D (with J)
18 = H on a G C
200 = D for P G in M
1 = W on a U
1000 = W that a P is W
7 = W of the A W
13 = N in a BD
12 = K of the RT
3 = B M (S H T R)


The following apply to the U.S.A, but not necessarily to other countries:

11 = P on a F T
9 = J on the S C
20 = N in a D

You got 'em idioms...

The only ones left from my first post are:

13 = N in a BD (This one could be a little tricky, and one's ability to guess it might depend on one's age ... a humorous dictionary once defined a "BD" as ""12 of today's and 1 of yesterday's" )


And the "American" ones:

11 = P on a F T
9 = J on the S C
20 = N in a D
