239 - Nice one Niki!
7/10 and none of the harder last 5
British Comedy Quiz Page 30
Today, I scored 2/10 my lowest score to date.
I incorrectly answered 1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10
I correctly answered question 7 I'm a huge fan of Only When I laugh.
However, I have never seen a single episode of The Office, so question 8 was a complete guess.
When's the quiz on Peter Sellers I can't wait for that, it will be fantasctic, so many opitions for questions, Sir Herc!

A good one for me, several I knew - got 7/10 and 1/5.
Correct: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 13.
Excellent! Well done 😎

I was ok on numbers 1, 5, 6, 7 & 9 while number 4 was a "semi-educated" guess.
Thanks Billy, I anticipated #4 would be one that could be worked out. It does feel like he's been around forever (or maybe I'm thinking of the real-life versions).

Thanks JJ, I promise my next quiz will feature more easier questions 🙂
I would also like to add that inclusion of a show in a quiz question doesn't necessarily mean I find it funny (Q15 and others in previous quizzes). In many cases I know a lot about them because someone else in the family was a big fan at the time, in this case as they were of infant-school age I think they can be forgiven.
5 & 2
Quite tricky!

I've put it to Mark again (third time), but apparently he's v.busy at the moment. We usually like to set them at some date in their lives, so it's looking like anniversary of his death on 24th July, which should be OK with Mark, as he doesn't like too many specialist ones close together, thinking it might put people off if they don't know much about that subject/person
6 & 0 on last week's.
3 & 4 on this week's. The harder ones suited me better this week.
Got 4,7,8 right. Got 13 wrong. I was put off by the film still or poster which has a blaring mistake in it. It shows John Cleese to be barely 6 foot when he's at least 6'4. Unless they shrunk him for the part.

Nice one AJK, I often find I do better on the harder questions than the main ten!

Nah, the top of John Cleese's head is clearly way over the 6 foot line, so he looks about 6'5 which as you say is his height. Look again sir: https://cdn.comedy.co.uk/images/library/comedies/900x450/a/a_fish_called_wanda.jpg
Only 5 out of 10.
Quiz 240 - very tricky this week. 5/10 for me, but most of those were educated (or lucky) guesses!
Well, I was pleased to reach question # 8 this week because, apart from # 2 (which it turns out I got wrong anyway), it was the only one where I had any idea of what was going on.
# 3 I got right but based on only one of the characters in the question; the other two characters I'd never heard of.
# 10 I didn't even understand the question!
7 & 2
Bonus 5 quite hard this week
Today I proudly scored 3 out of ten. Yet again I had not seen barely any of these shows.
I correctly scored, 2,3 and [lucky guess] 10.
Please can we have a Peter Sellers quiz, I am a young person and love Sellers, there are many young people that love Sellers.
