Excellent night had by all. Well fought out, very close battle for 2nd place with only TWO points separating three teams!
Out of 52 questions, there were only FOUR that no one got correct, yup, even DVT didn't get the "Corrie" question right!
I found it amusing that Sherriff Rosco P Coltraine's dog was (amungst other things), a DACKSHUND, a BLOODHOUND and a COONHOUND - you were ALL on the right tracks, it was a hound, but a BASSETT Hound (Called "Flash")......... Bassett also being, apparently, a new town in Yorkshire!! - and that the MSA Radio Safety channel has apparently now moved to the same radio frequency as Century Radio!

I've made the questions (and the CORRECT answers) available on line for you to view HERE

I hope everyone enjoyed the evening, I look forward to putting another quiz up for y'all soon
Iain
