Hi @Mi-Amigo

Not hopeful for good results in this quiz 😕

Movies 🎬 🎞 🎥 never remember names dates characters.. and musicals hate these ☹️

Sports no way dates places ..Cricket 😣

Good if can get 2 or 3 here.

Still that's the quiz game .. sometimes up sometimes down I suppose 🏂 ⛷️

Thank you for your post @TallTrees

I do try and mix the categories for WRQ and also the subject in each category.

Maybe brandy and/or Baileys or both might contribute to the tea-time team brains this time 🤗 😂

Thank you @Cleoriff

IMPORTANT

@Cleoriff @pgn @gmarkj @MI5 @jonsie @TallTrees @Oxonian @Dave-O2

Q7 should read

Q7 MOVIES 2 - In 1986 musical movie "The Little Shop Of Horrors" what is the name of supernatural villain ?

NOT 1968 as in original post.

Apologies for typo and I hope this doesn`t spoil the quiz.

A high scoring WRW again! Sussex was a stretch... Leicestershire lost that day in Hove, despite playing really well.

Well done all, and thanks, @Mi-Amigo 👍🏼

@Mi-Amigo

Not the best if scores but not too bad considering that movie character names not mainly committed to memory😑 and 2 movie questions! The squint .. medical name is quite astonishing. I don't suppose many of those affected would be able to spell that😁

Let's hope Monday's quiz questions are a little kinder on the memory 😊

Thank you for the quiz and results.
