A wonderful one. They were all guesses except 9, which I might still have got wrong without the options. This means I come below a monkey.

6/10. Numbers 1, 4, 6, 7, 8 & 10 correct. Of which number 8 was guess.

Oh dear, 5/10 and 1/5.
I found Q.10 the easiest as I have them all on CD 😊
Nice one Herc 😊

Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed!

Well done Billy 
Quiz 336 by Hercules!
5/10 for me.
Don't think I'd heard of that particular Martin Clunes sitcom - just did a quick online search and it had a great cast, even though it didn't seem too popular.
Nicely written question on the Fast Show, as all the options were Simon Day characters, so took a while to work out.
Correct: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9.
Good quiz! 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5 for me.
To correct a plate slightly, Demob was more of a comedy drama than a sitcom, as stated in the quiz (it was an hour long, I think, and had no laughter track). It was pretty good, as I remember, but it is now largely forgotten.

Excellent Chris, and thank you.
Did you get No. 15 on the question of Glam Cabs in Carry On Cabby, and Mark thought it would be far too difficult?
6/10. I knew the first three and the last one - no problem. Know very little about any of the subjects of the remaining questions but "educationally" guessed numbers 6 & 9.

Still a good score, Billy
Thanks for this. Two and two, but all guesses except 14. Good to see Arden and Frost getting some shout outs. I loved them in The Young Ones.
7/10 & 4/5. Q15 will be a pure guess for most, (and I got it wrong 😠) but at least you didn't ask what their registration plate numbers were this time. 🙂

I didn't get that one, no.

Yes, but a lot of people got upset by some of their skits in TYO, thinking about the two policemen they did, not that I am bothered
And of course, absolutely loved their Black Label adverts, the best being the Dambusters one, which was superb!!

Very well done Alf!! And, oooh yes, I missed a chance there for a really obscure question - thanks for the reminder!! 😆
Quote: Chris Hallam @ 11th December 2024, 9:16 AMI didn't get that one, no.
Thank you Chris, it seems Mark was right, but then there have been other quizzes where the questions were a total no no for me, me being ancient 😒
Thanks Herc that was a good one, pleased with my 9/10 and 4/5.
Got Q8 wrong (I remember the show being a thing but I never actually watched it), and also Q15.

I'm sure you're bored with this kinda 'Alf Garnet' debate, but for me that skit was excellent and very potent satire, especially for the period. The language is justified by the context. 'Sorry my friend, I thought you were a foreign gentleman' wouldn't've had the same ring.
I also loved Alexei Sayle in The Young Ones.

Missed those, so thanks for the heads up. Time to search Boobtube...
