Thank you @gmarkj 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting a Bronze Thinker and star. The "Calamity Jane" question wasn`t easy.

Hope you like the mix of questions in today`s WRQ, which is now up on a separate thread; although from the reaction, it seems there are a couple of tricky questions.

Thanks for your good wishes and I`m taking it easy and not going to over do anything.

Well done all, and thanks @Mi-Amigo for setting and scoring it! 👍
I knew DI Richard Poole, and his latest instantiation, DI Neville Parker, would pay off some time... 🤣👍

I certainly can't stand the current one Ralf Little. (Neville Parker). Love the programme but I'll be glad to see the back of him!!

All 10 series are currently up on iPlayer, if you feel the need to catch up - although this series already brought some of the old faces back...;)
