Bbc Quiz Of The Year (Jan-Mar)

[Buenchico]

Good evening to one and all.

There’s no Quiz of the Week from Aunty Beeb this week, due to the start of the big annual quiz. (See below).

There’s no kids’ Newsround quiz either this week :(

The Timed Teaser is available as usual though. I managed a middling score of FIVE out of ten with it:

Just the first part of the Quiz of the Year is online at the moment, with the other parts expected to follow over the next few days. (I’ll try to post the links to those here). It covers January to March, which I clearly struggled a bit to recall, as I only managed to score SIX out of thirteen:

You can do better, can't you?

Merry Christmas to everyone in the Friday night gang!

Firstly, a Very Merry Christmas Everybody.

I'm surprised to have got my results.

7 / 13

The 2 - seems low

Hi, Patsy.

Everyone's beating me, sob, sob!

Flamin' 'eack, Helen! TWELVE? Well done indeed! (It will interesting to see if you can do just as well in the other three parts of the quiz, over the next few days!)

Aha! Company at least! Welcome to the club, 10CS!

. . . and company too on the other quiz, I see! Good evening, Cashier!

[Buenchico]

Merry Christmas, Kwillmott!

Your long-term memory seems to be a bit better than mine but I'd start to worry about my short term memory if I was you ;-)

[cashier]

Five out of thirteen. Merry Christmas Buenchico and thank you for posting.

[Buenchico]

Ooh! I've beaten someone!

Merry Christmas, Cashier. Thanks for joining in our little bit of silliness each week ;-)

A lousy 2/10 and 8/13 from me this week, Chris.

[Buenchico]

Hi, Sam. Going by the thread I've just been posting on in CB, I appear to be the only person here who's well! (I hope that you are too though!).

Thanks for posting. I hope that I'll be seeing you on the remaining three 'Quiz of the Year' threads.

Merry Christmas anyway!

[Buenchico]

That 8's quite impressive, Tony, given how long ago those events all were!

(I'll put the 2 down to your Covid diagnosis though. Get well soon!).

[Lie-in King]

5/10
8/13

[Buenchico]

Good grief! I actually matched Old Brainybonce on one of the quizzes this week! (Hiya, Lie-in King!)

Well done with that 8 though!

[tonyav]

Get well soon!).

Thanks, Chris.
