Hound Of The Year

Different format this week, no current affairs, no jeopardy, link-ups or connections. Just a round of sleb 2018 deaths, 50 questions about the events of 2018 and some music. Would this play to our strengths or would the distraction of Man City v Liverpool be too much?

Think we got 11/12 on the deaths, only the actress who played Alice in the Vicar Of Dibley escaping us. Then working through the year, mainly with some cunningly recycled questions from months gone by.

So these were the mascots but where were the Olympics? And which was that retailer who announced it would be axing 100 stores by 2022. And what was Jurassic Park V called? And who on earth remembers what film won the Best Picture

These questions and many, many more. All the while a long overdue successful in play bet of 2-1 to Man City was starting to unfold. Answers - Emma Chambers, PyongChang, M&S, Fallen Kingdom and the Shape of Water. Has anyone actually watched that by the way.

Music scanned the spectrum from Tho Who to Lady Gaga and don't you know? Hound Win? Only 4 teams so not life-changing winnings but hopefully a beer to kick off next week.
