This is going to be the last time I run this particular quiz. And with the score at one all it looks like this one is going to be the decider. It’s the contest of the century folks, and you saw it here first.
Ok, so just in case you didn’t catch this last time, here are the rules:
Saturdays questions will be for British people, and Sundays for the Americans. If you are neither of these nationalities then just pick a side.
Saturdays questions for the British team will be posted at 12 noon London Time (currently GMT +1). Sunday’s questions for the American Team will be posted at 12 noon Chicago time (currently GMT –5).
The winning team will be the ones who answer the most questions correctly. In the case of a tie the team which has taken the shortest amount of time to answer their questions correctly will be the winner. The contest will be open for exactly one week. There is no prize other than basking in the glorious knowledge that your nation is truly superior to all others.
Here we go for the final time with the tunes for team GB:
Tune 1
Tune 2
Tune 3
Tune 4
Tune 5
Tune 6
Tune 7
Tune 8
Tune 9
Tune 10

2 Groundforce
3 Blind Date (I’m appalled that I know this and blame my mothers poor taste in tv viewing)
4 You Bet – or some other equally dreadful saturday night light entertainment awfulness – why can’t reruns of Steptoe and Son or Morecambe and Wise be shown instead?
5 Howards Way
6 Miss Marple – the ones with Joan Higson not Margaret Rutherford who was a far more entertaining if not true to the books version
7 Parkinson – who I saw this morning advertising funeral plans
8 Tomorrows World – bring back Judith Hann
9 Animal Magic
10 Pictures At An Exhibition by Mussorgsky aka The New Statesman.
Frankly I’m ashamed that I knew some of these (or at least think I did) if I’ve got 1-5 wrong I won’t be sad.
PS If I am right do I win a prize?

Morticia – You can’t complain about Higson not being true enough to the character of Miss Marple when you like the travesty of Holmes that is Rathbone. And you are rignt on all of those except number 1.
So can this be a record breaking quick time? Does anyone out there know number 1?

That number 1 is really bugging me – is it an american import?

That first one sounds very “1960s ITC”. Someting like Man in a Suitcase or Department S, or that sort of thing.
Edit: Bravo. I’d never have got that, I can’t stand Theroux!
