Think I'll pass on that one 😎

@Cleoriff 

[TallTrees]

Not too bad 4 correct 

Not good bearing in mind there were no TV Movies or prima donna questions.

Thank you for marking the answers @Mi-Amigo 

Well done everyone

Pulled Bournemouth out of a hat 😆

Great quiz, @Mi-Amigo and well done all participants. And thank heavens for the BBC R2 Traffic announcements for that motorway question, even if the odd time the M1 or M2 in Northern Ireland is mentioned, they get the travel direction wrong...

The NI M1 goes predominantly West out of Belfast, and...

The NI M2 goes predominantly North out of Belfast.

Most annoying when they say "In Northern Ireland, accident on  M1 at J3 Northbound..." when the Citybound M1 goes East and the Countrybound M1 goes West... 😡
