Just completed the Fast Show quiz - 100%, first time I think I've got all the questions from someone else's quiz correct. Nice one Herc!

And nice one you! I was beginning to think there were no fans of The Fast Show on the BCG!

You did well to get 9,11,13 and 15 especially as Mark said he doubted whether anyone would remember that, but it is seared on my brain!

My favourite in 8 "What did I say ?????" - "You said you could shit through the eye of a needle", and John Thomson's dead pan delivery makes it funnier! ?

8 & 3
Annoyingly got both the "name the pair of characters" wrong.

You didn't opt for my "red herring" of Julian and Sandy, did you? ? Or Paul and Paula, for that matter.

Nevertheless, good scoring.

I don't recall Question 9 from the programme itself, it must have been from one of the retrospective documentaries on Gold or the Comedy Connections edition on the Fast Show. But knowing who the writers of the programmes were gave me some confidence in my answer. And I think I got several of the other questions correct because The Fast Show is so catchphrase-heavy, you may not have heard the catchphrases for some time but they'll be burned into your brain somewhere.

Not Julian & Sandy.
But I could hear her saying "Isn't that right, Paul?" in my head.
Weird.

9. I didn't know no 9

Thanks. It's nice to be reminded of it

100% for me. Didn't know a single one.

I did get two correct (numbers 3 & 10) but they were completely random guesses. I don't count those.

Got 9!
I never do anything like that well normally. Easier than normal.
Annoyed not to get 10 though.
Got the names of the Thomson/Ahearne couple wrong.
Totally guessed another answer.

Fun quiz Herc! Like Nikki, I got top marks - well, almost, 10/10 in the main round, 4/5 in the bonus questions.
The only question I got wrong was no.11.

One would surmise then, you weren't a big fan of the show.

You said something similar relating to a previous quiz of mine, when you said you had a name stuck in your head that was wrong, or you knew the name but for some reason picked the wrong one.

Yes , that would jump out at you, or you wouldn't have any idea, but 14/15 is great! ?

Of course, you need to be as old as me to remember Paul and Paula, who had a big one hit wonder with "Hey, Paula" in, as it happens 60 years ago.

7 & 3 but only because the question level was quite kind to the non fanatic, unlike on mine. ? It's nice of Herc to provide this balance so quizzers can actually get some right. Well done. And Billy reveals that he is actually only 25 because he was obviously not yet born when this show was on, young whippersnapper.

Well, thank you Alf - most kind and verifies my trying to make my quizzes "user friendly", and well done with 10!

I never realised Billy was so young! ? But results seem to prove so.

Yes and I demand he give his bus pass back, the faker. ? I'm going to snitch on him. ?
