Easy intro, comic duos.
More nonsense than usual in the current Affairs round I think, my notes are very sparse. Par score of 7. Shazam being bought by Spotify is about all that I remember.
Round 3 was Heroes and Villains. What character from a 1962 movie was voted the greatest film hero of all time in 2003 by the American Film Institute? I thought of Spartacus or Ben-Hur, but both were earlier and not sufficiently heroic. I also managed to confuse the Countess of Bathory with The Scarlet Pimpernel, but otherwise good.
Connections round not too difficult, key words such as Love, Perry, Fifteen led us quite quickly to....
Good work on the ten-pointers. The badger is Britain’s biggest carnivore, and a parting shot from Robson before heading to the Far East and Down Under for 4 weeks. Richard John Bingham was otherwise known as Lord Lucan.
Chain letters round involved some backfilling, but a real head scratcher was the 2005 film set in the 1860s about widower Cedric Brown, starting with N and ending in E?
Well placed but couldn’t get all of the Jeopardy questions. Disney film Tarzan caused us disquiet in case it had a different title, and we didn’t get the king who asked to be rid of the troublesome priest Thomas Beckett.
Some slippage on music round. Decent total of 147 but Anoraks got the Jeopardy including at least one guess and scored 160. Well played them.
What about that film hero? Atticus Finch played by Gregory Peck in To Kill A Mockingbird.
Bon Voyage Robson, hopefully someone can join Daren and I next week. After that Daren will be out for a while.

Thanks very much for the best wishes, seemed like one of those nights where well played to the OPPO rather than any cause for introspection. Hope I get some good reading material for the holiday.
