I can't get any of my kids hooked on serious quiz shows, and they are all 18 and over. To be fair they all like Pointless, and Jen is a big fan of the Chase, which is something at least.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-16831848994065594372012-12-30T11:51:15.733-08:002012-12-30T11:51:15.733-08:00Hi Everyone

These GK rounds have been SO easy this year that there's no great sense of achievement at getting a clear round, and you feel really annoyed with yourself when you get any wrong.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-56808657388151115442012-12-30T07:35:16.940-08:002012-12-30T07:35:16.940-08:00I also managed to get a wiki-less 10 on the Monty ...I also managed to get a wiki-less 10 on the Monty Python set (which seemed particularly gentle), not knowing that a slug was offered as a replacement for the dead parrot. Quite a few of these specialist subject rounds have been to my liking so far (being a fan of Twin Peaks, Monty Python etc). Like you I saw the English Language Expatriate Press subject and thought "nil points looming", but a combination of a little knowledge (Shakespeare and Co., Alice B. Toklas) and a few inspired guesses (Tropic of Cancer and Ulysses seemed like the percentage options, the Gertrude Stein one more of a lucky long shot) brought me a fortunate 5. I am happy to remain in complete ignorance of JK Rowling's oeuvre so I skipped that one. The SS questions are a little gentler than normal in this series so I won't chastise myself too deeply for knowing three things about McFly.Ewan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634824712637908230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-27134941483460643032012-12-30T03:27:02.592-08:002012-12-30T03:27:02.592-08:00Surely you know of Adam and Joe's very own qui...Surely you know of Adam and Joe's very own quiz show - the brilliant Quizzlestick ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=CfgRGW9Ghik )?

Having had a SS I know well I would say the questions were very straightforward compared to the regular version. The CBBC fan in my house (aged 6 1/2) also likes Mastermind and University Challenge - but I don't think she's a statistically significant sample!LisaHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470405082290927092noreply@blogger.com
