That was a tough one - well done all, and thanks, @Mi-Amigo!

Actually @Mi-Amigo , @jonsie was 'partially' correct. 😂

Jo Joyner did play Tanya Branning in that awful soap Eastenders 🤣

Thanks for the quiz. Those questions were just to my liking (Each to their own) 😊

[Comben]

Oh dear not a great WRQ again for me, well done to @Cleoriff for the perfect score. I always got taught there is no such thing as a hard question... If you know the answer! 😂

Upwards and onwards on my journey back through some of the older WRQ's, I was hoping for better score but still fun to see the answers, thanks Mi-Amigo.
