I only gave one answer as well.

Sorry to hear that Whizzy, it must be a sad time for you

I scored all who said Kempton Park equally. You got the same score as altally and both you and altally said Kempton Park. So, you are the official runner up. Well done!

Ok. I just thought I'd mention it in the interest of fairness, it is Christmas after all.

So, as I await the addresses via PM of marke09 and nd so I can send out their prizes, I now, officially bring the curtain down on this year's quiz and I shall clear the floor and make way for the official countdown event organised by claires_dad. Over to you mate, the floor is all yours!

First of all, Wizzy, my sincere condolences for your sad loss, secondly, thanks again for running this year's fun quiz. I'll try and remember to send my answers in every week next year!

I'll be posting the rules for the Guess the Christmas Radio Times Cover competition shortly and will start taking entries from Sunday 1st November 2015 so get your thinking caps on everyone!

WOw did not expect that i havent written a speech but thanks very much to wizzy wick for all his hard work coming up with questions (some more difficult than others) to Claires dad for his excellent web resource and of course to the Radio Times for their wonderful publication !

This competition feels me with genuine warmth and excitement - it makes me realise how close we are to Christmas! I can't wait to reveal my idea! Roll on 1st November!

Just booked Santa's grotto at Dobbies thinking I was ahead of the game, couldn't believe how few time slots were left.

Well done marke09.

Thanks to wizzywick for running the competition. Like others, my condolences for your loss.

Really struggling for my front cover entry this year. Last years was a bit out of left field. I'm sure by 1 November I'll have come up with something.

Yes, thanks wizzywick, fun competition. And next year I'll be back with a vengeance - still cursing myself for not entering in week one!

I really enjoyed running the quiz, it has made the long, dull road towards the Guess the Cover Competition more bearable. But it is kind of you all to express such kind words.

Just 8 more Fridays until Christmas!!!

just seen that sky will be showing National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation for the last time on 30th oct so a return to Terrestrial tv this Christmas is on the cards and other films that are coming to an end are Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues,The Fox And The Hound,Gravity,One Chance and Saving Mr Banks so these might be showing this christmas

So excited for 'Guess the cover'
Christmas is definitely on the horizon!

Saving Mr Banks is heading to Netflix so may not hit terrestrial t.v yet.

Is the Xmas RT expected 5th Dec? Thanks.

yes if yo u live in London and the South East

Just 7 weeks to go then!!!

May I join everyone in thanking you for running the Wizz Quiz, Wizz! It was really good fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately pressure of work (and questions I couldn't answer!) precluded my entering in the last week, but I promise to do better next year.

Talking of which, it's brilliant to know next year's date already, and it is in my Apple calendar, together with quarter way, half way, and three quarter way points, which will make it come round really quickly!

wizzywick are we only getting a six week quiz next year -thought it was 8 weeks or are you running out of questions lol
