Quote: Billy Bunter @ 6th July 2022, 1:51 PMJust done this week's offering. Of course I don't like to boast but... ? ?
Full house, was it? Good stuff.
As for me, I did Hercules' Hancock quiz last night and got 4/10, did it just now and got 3/10!
Clearly I need to bone up on my Hancock, if you'll pardon the expression.
I got 5/15 but did it again and got 9. So call it 7. An admirer and hope to be more of a connoisseur in future when I have the time to visit his radio shows, although it's probably more Galton & Simpson I'll be in awe of, with exquisite delivery.
Well done Herc on delivering a single subject 15 with some good answer options, I can vouch for how much work they entail, having done one waiting for a tie in hopefully this year. I do love a good specialist quiz to get my teeth into, I think we should have one every month. (Not gonna happen ☹).
Thank you, Alf, there is another Hancock in the pipeline, and have done 3 on Dad's Army and one each on Steptoe and Monty Python, which Mark has with him; BUT he's not keen on putting up specialist quizzes too often, so those will be used on anniversaries, as we did with that Hancock one (July 6th - first TV HHH)
If you'd like to see them monthly, then by all means PM him, but they are more work!!
Have also done/given Mark, 8 x regular quizzes and am working on another 2 at the moment.
By the way - are you doing Super 6 this season? I certainly hope so, as I won it last, coming from way behind - I'm still waiting for the trophy from you.
PS I have been in contact with Godot, as last year we had long chats about health etc., and I fear it's not good with him at the moment.
Blimus, no wonder you've been quiet of late. Are you on the payroll? BTW now you've got your supporter status back you can trawl through all the past quizzes for the bonus Qs you missed.
Ah yes Super 6, just checked it and it's not ready to rumble yet. My trophy for your victory is getting to be Manager this season, although the only managing to do on this one is get players signed up. If it's an automatic renewal of last seasons league and players, then just go with that if you want. Being last season was the first I'm not sure how they do the new season renewals, although I get a feeling it's far more player friendly and easier to restart than the stupidly awkward FPL. I don't know what's going on there again but I can't log in to it at the mo. steam.
Godot - oh no, it did pass my mind it he must be ill again, given the timing of his sudden absence. Get well Godot. And return! If you can. ??
Well done on this week's quiz 'a plate', 9/10 and 4/5 for me. Though there's two questions I'm going to have to pull from any future submissions of mine because they're too close to a couple of yours from this week. Can you see into my brain?

Thanks Niki! An impressive result. Seems that we're on a similar wavelength, though if I could see into your brain then I'd get more than 4/10 when I do your ones..!

Up to 14 regular quizzes in so far + the specials, which Mark has spread over roughly the next 6 months to coincide with various anniversaries.
With Only Connect having a longer break this time, (still waiting for the nod to send pitches for series 19), I find myself with twitchy quiz fingers - hence the over indulgence with the BCG one..........................Mind you.........
And if you think I'm going to trawl through over 200 quizzes to check the last 5 - you must be mad! ?

Just numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 & 10 correct for me this week.

There's definitely an age gap with quizzes, as two or three I have no idea! Got 7/10 and 1/5 PLUS Grrrrrr there were two of mine that I'd already sent in, but Mark says he's not too bothered about duplication - Please be aware though! About questions on any of my specials as your questions may well be not used............
That is, Hancock, Dad's Army, Steptoe and Monty Python - these are already in a date set.
Otherwise, well done lads!! ?

I've got another quiz in the publication queue which I think you'll do well on.

Good to hear. More than half right and I'll be happy!
Thanks for the feedback on how you got on with mine, Hercules and Billy.
Herc deserves honorary BCG membership for all that he contributes.

OMG - as Popeye would say, "How embarasking"
And in your honour beaky, I will make it a priority to resurrect my Adverts, Cartoons and Saucy Postcards asap, as the self-inflicted pressure of quizzes is easing.
Hurray!!!
Niki's new set of questions has just gone up!

I got 6/10 and 2/5. So I did a bit better than usual! Some of them I even knew, and I took an educated(?) guess on the Alexi Sayle one.
