Very nice quiz and fits the theme well.
I really don't like question 11 though. It was an interesting one the first time around but really is tedious by now imo.
So you mentioned before. We know you don't like it cos you posted to that effect on the last quiz I did: I will make the effort to enter this one.
I think q11 should be retired though for whoever is up next. Getting a bit samey.
You didn't manage to get around to entering that one. I hope you find time to do so this time.

Here's something to keep you entertained before the quiz starts: It's not your soundcard. They really are out of tune.

Okay, game on.
One of the entrants to tonight's quiz answered every question, ie they didn't pass one.
What should we do?
I don't think it is fair to take their best nine out of the first ten, as others don't have that option.
I could take the first nine, and treat Q10 as a Pass for zero.
I could give them a Fail for Q10.
I don't know if there has been a standard way of dealing with this in the past - I'm leaning towards treating Q10 as a Pass.

The fairest way I can think of is for someone to post any question number and I will treat that question as a Pass for the offender.
Not many tuned in so far though.............

We have a very low-scoring quiz. I didn't want it to be difficult, but it was probably a bit too easy. There are several questions with a huge number of correct answers, so it didn't take a lot of skill to Ace them, which means there isn't a reward for finding unusual answers. Anyway, lesson learned. Let's get on with it.

3. 'Every Loser Wins' was a major hit for EastEnders actor Nick Berry - the song that propelled him to international stardom. Name another TV actor who has released a song. Martin Kemp or Carrie Brownstein have been in bands, but I can't find any evidence of them releasing a song on their own. Not clear that Brownstein has done any acting either.
