Daily Quiz anyone?

[easthammer]

"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

"Did anybody see Rik Mayall's last film, One by One? Interesting concept, especially if you see the little chat he had off camera which you can find on YT"

[Mad Dog]

I was only 6 when it came out. Used to love it. Wasn't allowed to watch It at the time. Probably about 10/11 when I saw it. Everyone at school loved it. Then it was all about blackadder. Then men behaving badly. The latter has NOT aged well. I actually had a kevin Turvey video. All his skits compiled. Fucking hilarious.

"Think I was probably a tad young for the Young Ones, early 80's wasn't it so I would have been 13/14. Remember Rik as Kevin Turvey though and loved Not the Nine O' Clock News. Doubt the Constable Savage sketch would be shown anywhere now!"

[Mad Dog]

To be fair the whole quiz this week stemmed from me watching a documentary about young ones about a week ago. Loads of stuff I didn't know. Like the whole reason they had a musical act is that it meant they were a variety show and got more funding and time in the studio than a comedy would have.
