31st May, 2026: Trinity Sunday.
Right … it’s officially the case that stuff’s happened.
But you knew that.
You know I’ve bought blu-rays from Amazon: and, as ever, have copied them.
So have officially backed up the recently released 4k version of the Dr Who TV movie.
I was a touch worried: that the extras would be identical to the ones on the 2k version from a while back.
But there seems to be enough ‘new’ extras to have made the purchase worth the effort: including some extra music from the soundtrack.
So that’s good.
Let’s move on.
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with Debbi scoring five out of five and Mum on four.
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?
Q1) 31st May, 2026, is Trinity Sunday. It’s the first Sunday after what: Easter, Christmas or Pentecost?Q2) It marks the Holy Trinity. In other words, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy whatQ3) The Trinity is important in which religion: Islam, Judaism or Christianity?Q4) A trinity consists of how many things: two, three or four?Q5) Carrie Anne Moss plays Trinity. In which film: Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope, Blade Runner or The Matrix?Q6) Bronze, Codon and Wise Monkey are university punts owned by Trinity College. Trinity College, where: Oxford or Cambridge?Q7) Former Prime Ministers, Spencer Compton, Frederick North and William Pitt the Elder, were all at Trinity College. Trinity College, where: Oxford or Cambridge?Q8) Gainsborough Trinity F.C. play in the Northern Premier League. They play what in the Northern Premier League?Q9) The ’77 Trinity — the Apple 2, the PET 2001 and the TRS 80 — were all released in 1977. They were what: TV sets, cookers or computers?Q10) Finally … ? Trinity House is in Tower Hill, in London. It’s the authority that runs what in England and Wales: ports, lighthouses or the Coastguard?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …
Q1) 30th May is the International Day of Potato: according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation. The Food and Agriculture Organisation is an agency of what: the United Nations, the European Union or the African Union?Q2) The European Cultivated Potato Database lists approximately how many cultivated varieties of potato: 4100, 5100 or 6100?A2) 4100.Q3) Between 1845, and 1852, a country of the UK was hit by the Potato Famine. Which country: England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales?A3) Ireland: then part of the UK. (Don’t quote me: but, from the little I know, central government’s bad handling of the famine contributed to Irish ill feeling towards the UK: something exacerbated by a second famine in 1879. These famines contributed to Ireland’s eventual Rebellion.)Q4) Don Rickles voices Mr Potato Head. In which film: Sex Lives of the Potato Men, Toy Story or The Long Good Friday?A4) Toy Story.Q5) Finally … ? Axomamma was a goddess of potatoes. To whom: the Inca, the Aztecs or to the Mayans?
Here’s a thought …
“Celebration of the feast gradually spread in the churches of northern Europe, and in 1334 Pope John XXII approved it for the entire church.”From the Britannica entry on Trinity Sunday.
And a traditional Italian piece …
The next ten question sets will be on 3rd, 7th, 11th and 12th June: they’re about Trinity Sunday, Liverpool football club, “The Dreaming City”, the World Cup and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Your comments, and today’s answers, will be published in tomorrow’s Teaser.
AI is avoided when writing these questions.
Answers are as accurate as possible: at the time of writing.
Decisions about scores are final.
Thank you for coming: have a good day.

Thanks, Paul. I wonder if you'll ever have time to revisit all those films you are recording, but I hope you do. My mother keeps having "moments" (the other day she was convinced she's seen a person who features on the news here quite often, not in very positive circumstances, downstairs sitting outside of our building, and that is pretty unlikely (as I'm sure the press would follow her, and I don't think the courts would be happy with her wandering around), and she fell in the early hours of Saturday, and hurt her head. Blood everywhere... Thankully it wasn't anything serious, and I even manage to go and participate on a live radio programme, but these collaborations are getting rarer.
I hope everything goes well for you and I will keep visiting when I have a chance. Take care!
Oh, goodie. :) It's okay. Don't panic. :)
