Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards

btw I got the Eastenders question from Alex Scott`s Tournament TV show - where not one of the 8 players got it right. So well done all of you got it correct.

I used to watch that @Mi-Amigo

I did think Alex Scott was a very poor presenter but it was a good quiz.

Most sadly my viewing seems to consist of mainly the soaps and Netflix these days

Reality TV? Kill me now if I inadvertently let one of these trash shows insult my intelligence!

Sorry in advance to @Cleoriff 🤣🤣

The Tournament is a quiz show @jonsie ‌‌ Not really 'reality TV'.

I know you don't like reality stuff like SCD or DOI or I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here but quiz shows are quite interesting (Q.I.) see? 😂

[Oxonian]

Thank you for another excellent quiz @Mi-Amigo ; well done to all participators ! 👍
