Bbc Quiz : Week 1

[Buenchico]

Well, that’s another year out of the way then, so let’s start all over again with Week 1:

A typical middling score from me for the main quiz, with FOUR out of ten:

Just a pathetic ONE out of 5 for me though in the junior quiz. (I’ve a feeling that it’s going to be that sort of a year!):

At least I managed to get better than half marks in the Time Teaser. SEVEN out of ten for me:

With an aggregate of just 12, I reckon that most people here will beat me easily this week. Will YOU though?

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Tony.

If I was you, I'd put it down to recovering from Covid - or, of course, possibly to recovering from Hogmanay ;-)

[tonyav]

I think that I'll use both, Chris ;-)

[campbellking]

4/7,3/5,3/10. Abandoned the kitties to go to the M.K. panto tonight, they are just about forgiving me. Hope 2023 is going well for everyone .

[goodgoalie]

Good start to the year: got the first question wrong - then SIX!

[Caran]

1, 4, 4.
Not a good start to the new year.

[zebo]

5
3
6

Not a bad start but plenty of room for improvement!

[Buenchico]

You avoided any disasters, anyway, Campbellking. So not too bad a start to the year.

I hope that you enjoyed the panto but I'm surprised that they can still call it 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' these days. Surely it ought to be 'Snow BAME-person and the Seven non-gender-specific persons of restricted growth', shouldn't it?

I also hope that you made a big fuss of Puss Puss and Bailey(and vice versa, of course!) upon your return ;-)

Well done, GG! Nearly perfect!
(Will you be able to keep it up though, I wonder - as the actress said to the bishop).
;-)

[Buenchico]

Whatever your scores, Caran, (which aren't too bad anyway, really), I hope that everything else is going well for you and your hubby in the new year.

Well done, Zebo! Out in the lead!

[Caran]

Thank you Chris. Happy New Year to you too.
Thank you also for all the help you give to all.

[Ken4155]

6/7 - 2/5 - 6/10

Didn't know what the deceased Pope's dad did for a living :-(

[Buenchico]

Well done anyway, Ken!

Joint leader!

[Lie-in King]

5/7
3/5
7/10

[sandyRoe]

4,3, and 5.
As usual guesses played a part.

[twix123]

Thanks Chris and a Happy New Year to you all. As for the quiz; 'could do better':

4/7
4/5
5/10

[JJ109]

Same as you in the main one - 4
But I am a bigger kid than you- 4 in that also

[Karamia]

So sorry I am late to the quiz this week, Chris. Simply forgot what day it was!
Terrible start for me too
3/7, 3/5,4/10
Lots of room for improvement! :-)

[Tilly2]

6, 6, 3.

[Tilly2]

Sorry. 6, 5, 3.

[Buenchico]

Ooh! Quite a few latecomers that I'd not spotted until now!
(I went to bed earlier than usual last night, as I was feeling shattered!).

I see that the mighty Lie-i King is out in the lead, as usual! Well done!

Welcome the the club with that (half-)decent score of 12, Sandy!

You've got the new year off to a reasonable start, Twix, by beating me! Happy New Year!

Well done on being quite a successful kid, JJ109! Treat yourself to a gobstopper ;-)

I never know which day of the week it is, Karamia ;-)
(It's something called 'old age' that's the cause of it, I believe!).
At least you managed to avoid any real disasters at the start of the year ;-)

[Buenchico]

Well done, Tilly! Joint second and a perfect kid into the bargain too!
Treat yourself to some extra time on your roller skates ;-)
