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 👍🏼

[TallTrees]

@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.  

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[Cleoriff]

Well done everyone.  Thanks @Mi-Amigo xx
