Thank you @Cleoriff 

I couldn`t be that mean and make everyone name the episodes of Fawlty Towers 😂

After all, this is a milestone in the history of WRQ and I want to thank everyone who has ever taken part in a WRQ quiz and would like as many as possible to join in and enjoy the quiz and to celebrate and have fun.

Some roll off the tongue, some need thinking about and one will be a complete guess

In fact, that was what I hoped this special edition of the White Room Quiz would be like - with some easier questions; some which needed thinking about; and maybe the odd one which might have to guessed...

and don`t forget - a trophy  for getting the 1500th WRQ question [Q4 in this quiz] correct.

On it's way @Mi-Amigo 

The gif has nothing to do with anything but after Lewis Hamilton's stunning win yesterday (against all the odds) I thought I'd post it 😂
