The Four Hounds of the Quiz

A quick blogette before the cricket kicks off, Daren, Graham, Pete and myself taking our positions in the corner ready for action.

Names are up to "O" on the connection for the picture round, this fella proving to be the only sticking point.



Johnny Foreigner type who gets killed off in the first half an hour wasn't going to cut it. Om Puri would have done.

Onto news and apparently similies are banned in Bradford schools which must restrict essay writing somewhat. Also Jimmy Dyson gave /315m to his former school and Scholsey has been found out for betting on football, successfully apparently. Yep, slow news week.


Next round and famous "Browns". Rounds like these always offer the opportunity for quizzing bingo and Errol, Capability and Gordon had us well on the way to a call but this fella proved a stumbling block.



The geezer on the left obvs. Frankly the picture doesn't help and if I didn't know I now. Bryan Brown so no full house for us.

This week is history was Round 4. The hotline from Moscow to Washington proved to be rather unimaginatively named the "Moscow-Washington hotline", otherwise we did ok here. And well played to G force for knowing the dog in trap 1 wears a red jacket. Even if red isn't really him.

Link-ups were going well until we were tripped up and sent off course by a shelled gastropod. Still don't know what the answer was but it cost us 3 questions, maybe.

Jeopardy, as it so often does, started well but in what film does Fred Astaire dance on the ceiling? And what is the largest county in Eire. We had possible answers but swerve territory. Here's Freddie.


Royal Wedding it seems. Glad we didn't go for that.

Well, post the music a tie-break resulted but the Hound weren't in it. Bah! Well played though to King Kong Balls. Right, looks like England are going to have a bowl.
