Quiz 278, a canine-themed quiz from Kate Emmett, and a respectable 7/10 for me (the same score I got for her cat-themed quiz, and funnily enough it was the first 6 questions I got right both times, too). All my correct answers were ones I knew for definite - from quality shows such as Peep Show, Ghosts and Blackadder. Good stuff.

Correct answers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9.

5/10 which I'm happy with. And a lucky guess on Q4. (pedantic point - surely it would be unusual for a dog NOT to see ghosts) ? Fun quiz.

4 and 2 but all guesses except Peep Show and Julian Fairy.
I like the idea of a quiz based on a theme that isn't comedy-related, as they're normally too specialist for my brain cell.

I knew numbers 2 & 5.

Good No.278 quiz - got 4/10 and 4/5, with the usual some I knew for def., some educated guesses and pure guesses.

Ironically, I didn't know any of the peeps in Question 12, but got it right with a guess!

What's next? One on farm animals? Or ones we see at the zoo? 😁

7/10 and 3/5 for me, some guesses in there but I think I'm showing my age with the ones I knew for sure :)

Got 1-2, 5-7, 9-11, 13-14 correct.

Hello folks, an interesting quiz today, I scored 6 out of 10 on the regular questions.

I correctly answered: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q8, Q10.
I incorrectly answered: Q4, Q6, Q7, Q9.

See you all next week!

You scored 6/10

More than half - good job!

Quiz 279 from Hercules! Tricky one for me, 5/10. The only thing from there I'm particularly familiar with is Vic Reeves Big Night Out, and yet I only got 1 of the 2 questions about that right anyway! Remembered the name of Penelope Keith's character from ..Manor Born though. The rest were guesses...

Some creative options for the character names in question 4!

Correct answers: 2, 4, 5, 6, 8.

Got 4 of the first 5 (not #4 obviously). Then just a couple of ransom guesses.

Not bad. 😁 Presumably you never watched Miranda, as I thought that was an easy one, and fancy not remembering both of what Les didn't like and did like in Vic Reeves Big Night Out - would have thought one went with the other! 😊

And did you know 5, or was that a guess?

Oh dear Billy - we're of an age, and I thought on the same wavelength 😁, but I've been there with some of the other quizzes which don't quite gel with our knowledge and "experience" 😎

All guesses except the three Extras ones.

But, how many did you get?

Good one this week Herc, think you mostly got my demographic there :) My Dad might know #5, he used to tease us for never having heard of it but then we weren't born at the time and it's not exactly UK Gold rerun-famous.

Scored 8/10 and 3/5, with 1-4, 6-7, 9-13 correct.

Thank you Niki - you did well! 😊 And yes, you need to be of a certain age to know about Old Mother Riley, and the Queenie questions were hard.
