Quiz 346 from Niki...

I got 10/10!!! 🏆 As in: full marks! Ten of your Earth points go to 'a plate', aka me... Well, you get the idea with that. Admittedly there were a couple of lucky guesses (I've never seen Miranda, so just picked an answer at random). Lucky to get Red Dwarf and a few others I knew right away, and a few that took a bit of thinking. Great quiz!

And now if someone gets 10/10 and also 5/5 on the bonus questions then there'll probably have to be some sort of fight or something.

Excellent! Well done a plate! 🏆🏆🏆

It must be Newton's third law (I remember that 'cos in five years of physics that was the only thing I understood) because I didn't know a single one. Still fun, though.

Thank you Michael 🙂

I've split the atom then with 5/10, 2/5. Too many Qs not my cup of comedy char again, but interesting quiz.

Thank you! 🙂

5/10 and 0/5, so clearly the 90s are not my bag, but nonetheless, well done you and well done Niki on stumping me again. 😲

Thanks for playing Billy 👍

Very well done, a plate! Impressive stuff. Good quiz too.
I got 8 out of 10, 1 out of 5. Got Maid Marian and Red Dwarf wrong. Damn you, Danny John Jules!

Thanks Chris 👍

Quiz 347 by Chris Hallam!
5/10 for me this week.. Good mix of questions, I knew the Young Ones one for definite, and the Friday Night Dinner one.
The Whose Line is it Anyway question I didn't know for absolute certain, but it seemed the most likely option.
Other two I got right were guesses.
Didn't know the one about the original Dalziel and Pascoe, but that's an interesting bit of trivia.

Correct: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7.

No comment.
2 and 2 but I could argue that I did better than usual as they were know (1, 7 and 14) and educated guess (11). Or I could shut the f**k up. The police one tripped me up...
Thanks for the quiz. See you next time.

Quiz 347
Ooooh, so close with some of them where I was down to a 50-50 choice and let my head rule my heart...............
6/10 and 2/5

Excellent mix Chris! ☺️

8/10 and 1/5 for me this week. Good quiz Chris! Lots of bits of trivia I never realised I knew came to the fore there.

Got 1-2, 4-5, 7-10 & 14 correct.

Well done everyone! Thanks for the comments.

Quiz 348 by new questioner Matthew Mclane:

5/10 for me, after a flying start, though I only knew the first 2 for definite. It's always fun when people come up with creative answer options, such as here for the Gavin and Stacey middle names and John Cleese luxury item questions. Quite a mix - I dunno how the usual suspects will fare this week.

Good to have another quiz writer on board, and hope to see more in the future.

Correct: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9.

Excellent stuff!
I also fared badly after a strong start. 4 out of 10, 2 out of 5 for me! Great fun though.

Thanks for another fun quiz... Unfortunately they were all guesses again, even the one including a Young Ones star, so my score would mean sweet Fairground Attraction.
See you next time.

Did even worse than last week's with 3/10 & 2/5. 😠 Was a tough set of Qs though even for stand up & panel show lovers, of which I am not one. But always pleased to see a new quiz setter have a go. 👍🏻

Welcome on board Matthew! Really enjoyed this quiz even though most of the ones I guessed at were wrong answers.

Managed 5/10 and 4/5, got 1, 3, 6, 8-9, 11-14 correct.

Ditto exactly - not my scene at all 😒, but welcome to the site

Quiz 349 from Hercules!

5/10. I only really knew the Only When I Laugh question 100%, my other correct answers were educated guesses/seemed familiar.
I'll predict Billy to do the best this week.

Correct: 1, 2, 6, 7, 8.

Thanks again.
4 and 1 but I didn't know any really and the closest was an educated guess for Coogan. But I'm still proud to know bugger all about OFAH.

I don't think I've done enough to justify your confidence. I only knew numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 & 10. Plus guessed # 8 - completely randomly. Should perhaps have known # 6. But didn't.
