Can you confirm the answer for question number 3 in February?
Your answer is £304?

I've seen from multiple sources that the 1992-97 UK deal was worth £191 million.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/31357409
http://www.totalsportek.com/money/pr...ory-1992-2019/
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/...-to-sky-sports
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...illion&f=false

It's a strange one isn't it? There are reports that suggest the price was £304million and similarly reports that the price was £191million. Was the £191million the price of the highlights package? I'm confused by the conflicting answers.

Apparently the highlights package was £22.5 million.

£191 million (Sky UK Live Rights).
£22.5 million (UK Highlights BBC).
Overseas £40 million.
Total £253.5 million (1992 - 1997).

2. Which broadcaster was honoured at the 2015 British Academy Television Awards

Jon Snow was the recipient of th main broadcasting honour -a fellowship.

There were also special awards equally for Clive James and Jeff Pope.

The latest TV Listings circulation figures have been released for the six months to the end of December 2015

1 position out of 100 and Britians Top selling magazine is

Clive james was the answer I was looking for
£304 million was the answer I was looking for but i was confused by that one myself Sorry

Sorry for any confusion


now the leader board
Davids 30
Whizzywick 28
Tannifi1930 24
Smokeycat 25

Anyone can still win this

I think both answers should be correct then (£191m £304m). Otherwise it wouldn't be fair. We aren't mind readers.

Also I'm confused about the scores. I scored 25 points out of 36? I answered all the questions correctly.

Sorry had a busy week so no time to enter the quiz, well done to those who did!

Some Christmas TV news Anne Reid said on BBC Radio Manchester that there is 2 hours of Last Tango in Halifax being made for Christmas.

is that 2x 1 hour or 1x 2 hour

Unconfirmed, she said 2 hour special but then said she didn't know what format it would take, can't see BBC showing 2 hours of Last Tango in one go so guessing 2 x 1 hour episodes.

your right sorry

i may use simpler scoring system next year

Guys, regarding the carrying over of points to my Quiz later in the year. As my Quiz is an 8 week event and awarding 1 point for each correct answer, I have been having second thoughts about using the overall winners points from this quiz to potentially decide the winner of my quiz should players be tied on points. It seems unfair in reality. I had around 18 entries for my quiz, 13 of them entered each and every week. Therefore, I am sorry, but I can't, in hindsight, allow any seemingly unfair conclusion to my quiz. Therefore, I have to announce that no points from this quiz will be carried forward to my Quiz. It would be too complicated to endorse and manage.

Sorry pembo, your quiz is terrific and I will submit my answers to you in due course, but I hope you understand my reasons. I should have thought a bit more about it in honesty.

thats ok m8 i apologize for my poor scoring system which will be improved upon next year

Let us hope that it is CHRISTMAS themed!
