Last night.

Well, here’s the usual suspects.!

I could possibly have put that better, couldn’t I? After all the teams make the quizzes what they are.

Top left, there, is the Goodys –minus Keith, but with her parents– who ended up with the t-shirt. Bottom left are the Moobs – Aurora and her partner, David, along with Matt, and Tommy. Oh, and the backs of Ria and Michelle. Top to bottom on the right are the “I keep Mountain Goats” –all eight of them– and, bottom right, The Creditable Crunchers, who came in first. With 64 points.

I’m getting soft in my old age, I swear. Or with scores ranging from that, down to 51, I must be!

But, here, here’s last nights table round; – the Doctor Who themed one.

Q1) This Sunday sees which anniversary of tv show, “Doctor Who”; — 40th, 45th, or 50th?

A1) 45th.

Q2) The re-imagined version of which seventies series sees its debut on the BBC, this Sunday?

A2) “Survivors”

Q3) Terry Nation, the man who created the Daleks for “Doctor Who”, and the original version of the show in Question 2) started his career as a joke writer for which iconic British comedy figure; – Tony Hancock, Sid James, or Kenneth Williams?

A3) Tony Hancock

Q4) Christopher Ecclestone appeared with which James Bond actor, in “Our Friends in the North”?

A4) Daniel Craig

Q5) David Tennant has made waves, this year, as which of Shakespeare’s characters?

A5) “Hamlet”

I’m not sure why, but Question 2) seemed to give a lot of trouble to people. As did question 4). Out of the sheets we had, no-one put down “Survivors”, and the guesses we had for 4) ranged from Timothy Dalton, to Pierce Brosnan. Which possibly tells you something.
