Hi, the second week's questions will appear shortly, (they are a bit tougher this week), but in the meantime here are the answers and the scores for last week:
WEEK ONE ANSWERS:
1: Which former BBC star had a debut Christmas Special on ITV in 1979?
DICK EMERY
2: (Continuing from Question 1): Although it was a debut show for the answer to question 1, it proved to be the one and only festive ITV show. The celebrity had signed a three show deal for ITV and in 1980 went back to the BBC. What day did the Christmas Show in 1979 air on ITV?
BOXING DAY
3: "I don't want to be in a pie, I don't like gravy" is a line from which popular movie that has been featured in the Christmas RT listings several times since 2002?
CHICKEN RUN (Every single person got this right - seems I'm not the only one who loves this line!)
4: What festive treat did Nanette Newman present at Christmas 1982 on ITV?
CHILDREN SING CHRISTMAS
5: Which pop superstar had a Christmas Eve 1990 showing of their concert on BBC2?
MADONNA
6: Which highlights show went "on the road" on Holiday Tuesday 1977 on BBC1?
BOB HOPE ON THE ROAD WITH BING
7: Which vintage movie caused controversy by becoming ITV1's Christmas afternoon movie in 2001?
THE GREAT ESCAPE
8: Which Jennifer Saunders comedy series aired on Boxing Day 2006?
JAM AND JERUSALEM
9: What prize was promised on the cover of 1987's Christmas Radio Times?
A LUXURY ALGARVE VILLA
10: Following the outbreak of the second world war, in order to save valuable commodities like ink, the RADIO TIMES, like all other national publications, resorted to just using black and red or just black ink for its cover illustrations. This went on throughout, and for a long time after the end of the war. What year did the Christmas Radio Times feature more colour by including green on its cover for the first time since 1940?
1963
11: (Continuing from question 10): With the re-introduction of full colour after the year referred to in question 10, it would have been feasible to expect a bright, joyous cover for the Christmas cover for the following year. However, the cover proved to be bland and rather dull, and disappointing. What featured on the cover that year?
A GREY BACKGROUND WITH A MOSAIC/STAINED GLASS WINDOW EFFECT (Some posters were really specific with their interpretation but virtually all came up with the general description.)
12: Which comic strip detective movie featuring Al Pacino premiered on Holiday Tuesday 1994 on BBC1?
DICK TRACY
