Great quiz!
7 out of 10, 2 out of 5 for me.

Chuffed enough with 10/10 & 3/5. Got 11&15 wrong. 😠 Pretty well up on Rossiter but only knew Q7 because it's a Q in a quiz I submitted a couple of months back (but with LR as the answer), and it wasn't there when I looked at Mark's tool, so I'm guessing that must be a recent replacement Q Herc? Maybe for one about a car, which was there at the time, and I didn't know the answer to???
So it sort of fell my way for a full house but it's knocked out one of my first ten Qs on a quiz that can't be far off so in comes my reserve. Great quiz.😊

10/10 for me. Although I have to admit that numbers 7 & 9 both involved a bit of guesswork.

What's this, a weekend quiz? About Leonard Rossiter?? By Hercules???
Good quiz, always fun to see when quizmakers get creative in the options for different names/titles of things etc.

Mark has found space for specialist quizzes on a Saturday, hence this one which by serendipity fell on the exact date of Leonard's death, and thank you for your comments, which are encouraging

Thank you Alf. Believe it or not, I wrote that quiz 18 months ago and have been waiting with bated breath for it to appear, the delay being the chance to post it on exactly the date of his death 40 years to the day.
10/10 - Very impressed!
As for questions used, this was a lot down to Mark, as I did have alternatives, but anyway it now clears the way for you 😁

Well done Billy, and here's your prize - a 1954 first edition

A bonus quiz! I remember Rossiter's death being a big news story but I was too young to appreciate his comedic stature at the time.

Pleased with my 9/10 and 2/5 on this quiz, got 1-6, 8-10 & 13-14 correct. Thanks Herc, I enjoyed that 😀

And, thank you Niki 😁 So glad you got some pleasure, and knowledge out of it! Well done too!

I might try this again
And I think I might be a pro member again which if I remember correctly means 5 extra questions

I can still do the impression

Uncanny, it was like he'd just walked in...............

V. Good scores on the quiz, too

Here's an extra question for you - what's the connection?
a too easy one I didn't include in my LR quiz, but did use once for "Only Connect")

Wrong pussy

I looked at Mark's tool

Pervert.
I got 4 and 2, which isn't bad for me as the specialist quizzes are usually out of my league.
