A final guest, very old chocolate and Star Wars trinkets – take the Thursday quiz

A final guest, very old chocolate and Star Wars trinkets – take the Thursday quiz

[ad_1]

This week the Thursday quiz is flush with success, having been part of a team that won a pub quiz at the weekend. The quiz didn’t feature Kate Bush or Sparks, but there was a Doctor Who question, so victory had clearly been written in the stars. Will you be so lucky? You face 15 questions of varying degrees of topicality, stupidity and impossibility. Unlike at the weekend, when the Thursday quiz walked out of the pub an entire £9.50 richer, there are no prizes because this is just for fun. But let us know how you got on in the comments.
