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?"

Oh well. I can only remember the Joe Friday who acted in the film.

"Irons Not too late I will add to scores Re 5 The question who was ""driving"" Re 8 Yes the one who fits the theme in the TV role 1951-59 and 1967-70"

[zebthecat]

"3 (including the, er, obvious one)."

"Thanks east 4 from yesterday unless its too late, guessed one right. Today Couple of clarifications 5. Which role- I assume one of the main two. 8. There was more than one person who played Joe Friday (you probably want the one that fits the theme) A probable 4 with those."

Dicanios I think I took the hour into account when I checked yesterday it seemed correct. To be honest I can't remember what time of year I set the question but as I say I did check before posting and it seemed correct. Welcome to be proved wrong it won't be the first time!
