Ditto - I console myself with the fact, that if I've never seen it, how the heck am I supposed to know the answer...........shuffles away, sobbing quietly........

Then again, that question about The Office was bloody difficult even if one has seen all the episodes a dozen times, how would we know which one of the actors happened to have been born on Christmas day..?!

My feelings exactly - I thought the same thing, and I would never set a question like that, which is far too obscure!!
It changes it from a quiz question to a pure guessing game, which is surely not the main point of a quiz, he mutters grumpingly......... (grumpingly - is that a word? It is now.) ?
I know Kenny Everett was born on Christmas Day. And Noel Edmonds (the clue's in the name). And Charlie Chaplin died on Christmas Day. If that helps...
Quote: Billy Bunter @ 22nd December 2022, 10:35 AMI know Kenny Everett was born on Christmas Day.
Well, that's one of my questions ruined.

And again. Yeah, Billy that's a lot of help

New year, new quiz - https://www.comedy.co.uk/quiz/235 - was looking forward to this one Herc, and it did not disappoint.
Did quite well I thought, 7/10 and 5/5 - got 3, 8, 9 wrong and they were all guesses.
Got Q11 correct - I had the same question from a slightly different angle in Quiz 223 so a bit surprised neither of us was asked to provide a substitute? But at least it meant I knew the answer there 
8/10 on the Steptoe & Son Quiz.
Numbers 4 (which I didn't know) and 9 (which I should have remembered) wrong.
I got 8/10 today, I love Steptoe And Son, but I didn't think I'd score so highly.
I correctly answered 1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10
I incorecctly answered 3 and 4
Just 4/10 and 1/5 for me...

Thank you, so glad you liked it, and am surprised Mark (or me for that matter!) did not pick up the duplication, especially as my spreadsheet is now fully up and running.

Well done, and who could forget her in that part - I go weak at the knees thinking about it.

Never mind, perhaps it won't be such a dated series next time. There's another Hancock in the Spring, and I've booked, and am working on, one for Leonard Rossiter later this year - more your subject?

Not too hot on Hancock to be honest (which is probably blasphemy on this forum!) but I should have a decent chance with the Leonard Rossiter one!

And you didn't include the Steptoe question I have in my question bank, so maybe I'll include that in my next general quiz submission? I'm sure you'll know the answer straight away ?

Quiz 236, by Alfred J. Kipper - I got off to a flying start, with 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5 and 6 correct! Alas, then all wrong except 13 and 14.
