Fml misreading the question in last round.

Also, just for info, I believe the Ryn desert is in Europe/Asia depending on your definition.... Certainly not Africa anyway

Me too. Probably even less cos I only knew one for each of the movie questions and two for the US TV shows, so the missing letters round was the only one where I really had a choice. Some bizarre questions tbh.

[Ironside]
