Thank you, and Wow! You must be the only person to also watched Still Game, and that was a hard question ? And I'm very surprised you didn't get the easy Sykes one, but did the harder one. Very interesting.

8/10 and 4/5 for me this week. Lots of the questions were ones I found easy (also haven't we had Q11 before?) but there were a couple I should have got right and didn't. Got 6, 10, 14 wrong.

Well done!

And no, not from me as I've just checked my spreadsheet, and Mark is pretty hot on remembering what has gone before as, ironically, I had to change one that you had already used in one of your quizzes. ?

Or maybe it was the picture I remembered ?

Probably. I had a Citizen Smith question in the first one of mine used - I don't know Mark's quiz number. This was my question, which you might remember, from my spreadsheet :-

SUBJET Citizen Smith -10/. QUESTION One episode of Citizen Smith, had the same title as one of John Sullivan's later sitcoms - which one? ANSWEROnly Fools and Horses

And by the way, I have another on that sitcom coming up in my quiz No. 8, so it could well be the same header photo

I thought I'd have to do that for a quiz-in-progress after I saw the image on the front page of the website for this week's quiz, but after a check of my latest draft (a special on Victoria Wood and her works) there's no need as the questions are quite some distance apart. Though I did then drop the question for a completely different reason ?

Quiz 231: 4/10 and 1/5.
Started well then fell apart... Correct answers: 1, 2, 3, 8, 13. (Should've got a couple more, like the Allo Allo one, but didn't go with my gut instinct).

7/10 and 2/5, which I'm pleased with, and it helped in this instance that some I knew from question setting research for my quizzes and some I had a vague memory of, like say the Al Murray one.

Didn't get :- 4, 7, 9. 13 ,14 & 15

7 & 3

Failed on 4, 7, 9 - then 11 & 12

5/10 and 5/5 for me. Thought we didn't have a new quiz at first, as the site homepage and the quiz index page still link to last week's quiz. But I came here and everyone was talking about a new quiz.

Got 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 11-15 correct. No.12 was easy for me as this is also in my current longlist (I was trying to think of something modern) so I guess that one will have to go. Plenty more left but I also have a complete quiz in the current queue as well as a special scheduled for next year.

I got 5 out of ten this week.

the questions i got right were 1,3,5,8,10 the rest I didn't have a clue, of the questions i didn't get the only show i'd seen was Allo Allo a great show but i got the wrong filming location i said Cornwall.

All except numbers 7 & 9 for me this week.
