Let’s get quizzical, quizzical.
My thanks to Wil for covering the quiz while I was off sick last week, but I’m back and fighting fit once again, ready to throw everything I’ve got at this grand old quiz of ours. And you, my friends, are ready to take it.
Round one this week is Fictional Pubs, followed by Sport, then followed by African Countries. The picture round this week is Pasta Shapes – just name the pasta shape, it couldn’t be easier. And we’re finishing up with General Knowledge. Easy, right? No, no, no.
