Week 5...
57…
Congratulation
to the Dolphin’s Alan Hodgson for a
fantastic 57 this week. The only one
to evade him was Q42 in the GK regarding the “Grand Theft Auto” game, although
Alan can console himself with being in that rarefied group who have hit the
magic 60 mark previously!
Indeed Alan is one of only two people ever to have scored 60 out of 60 in this forum, the other being Haydn Thompson. Alan scored his 60 ten years ago now in 2006 and Haydn’s followed in 2009. Only two people in 35 and a bit years shows it isn’t easy!

You may have seen the below comment posted on Nick’s blog last week which is looking for people who may be interested in applying for Series 2 of the BBC Quiz “The Code”. I must confess to having missed Series 1 completely!
It looks like the closing date for applications is 25 November 2016, so here is the message with link to the application form if you might be interested…
I’m Dean, I’m a casting researcher here at Primal Media (used to be Gogglebox) I am currently casting for the returning BBC1 quiz series The Code.
I came across your details online and was wondering if you could help us spread the word among your fellow quizzers! This is a really fun quiz and there is also the opportunity to win a jackpot that could be thousands of pounds.
I have attached a flyer that we hope you wouldn’t mind posting on your social media accounts or on a notice board. You can get the application forms from here…

Cup and Plate Draws...
The Cup
and Plate will progress as follows this year:-
The 10
losers of the Cup Round 1 games go into the Plate whilst the 10 winners are joined by
the 6 teams who had “byes” or set / asked questions last week to make up the
last 16 for the Cup.
The 10
teams in the Plate have all played and lost one game and 2 of those teams have
been drawn to set questions for the next round, along with a further 4 teams to
act as Question Masters for all the games.
Just 2 of
the 10 teams in the Plate need to be eliminated to leave us with the last 8
next time, so there are just 2 games between the remaining teams in Plate Round
1.
After the
next round we will be left with 8 teams in the Cup and 8 in the Plate.
The Draw is as below...
