Nyder's Famous, Fiendish and Fearsome Festive Quiz 2022

[Nyder]

Evening All! Yes we're days away from the start of nearly a month's fiendish quizzing. Hope you're ready!

[Nyder]

So just to recap ... every day from 1st to 24th December I'll be posting a question. The GOLDEN RULE is - private message me your answer, don't post your answer here where others will see it. Some days it'll be a Who-related question, other days it won't. For ALL days the questions will make your brain hurt. You can play 2 jokers as well to get double points - you get 1 joker to play on a Who question day, and 1 joker to play on a non-Who day. How do you know which days are which? I'll tell you shortly...

[MacNimon]

And last position beckons for me...

[Nyder]

Who Joker days are 5,8,11,13,15,17,21,23
Non-Who Joker days are 1,3,4,7,10,12,16,18,20,24

You get double points for correctly answering a question on your 2 nominated joker days

You can message me privately to nominate your joker days or just post here. You can't nominate a joker day AFTER the question has been posted for that day. Joker's are thing of lovely randomness.

So welcome one and and all No-one is playing their joker today because you all know by now I NEVER make the first question easy

Please remember to private message the answers - DON’T post the answers here.

Yesterday’s answer was a very young LADY DIANA SPENCER - congrats to all those who got it right.

A big HELLO!! to Day 2. And it’s a perennial fave - the DW Target Book Covers! Can you identify the 3 books from these teeny tiny snapshots?

Agreed. One of my favourites too

[Andrew Curnow]

I was NEVER going to get Lady Diana - I can't even see it now I know!! Fiendish is right!

Whilst a few of you are still mulling over Day 3, I'm going to foist Day 4 on you 40 minutes early! Some audio for you. Who's this? Good luck - especially the chap playing his non-Who joker on this one...

Day 3 was an absurdly young Tommy Steele.

Day 4 was Harrison Ford, talking about his “dear Pa” Sean Connery.

Welcome to a new week and indeed Day 5. One person playing their Who joker today. Pay attention at the back, if you sneeze you'll miss it. Which story from TV's Dr Who does this come from?

Yesterday’s Scouser was Dan’s Dad in FLUX: WAR OF THE SONTARANS

So do I - it made me smile to hear it.
Sadly another one made me cross because I'm sure I should know it, and one as too bland to cause any reaction at all !

[Nyder]

Those theme tunes were stinkers! Did you get them right?

1. GRANDSTAND (Original theme)
2. BLESS THIS HOUSE
3. CHANCER

Chancer was composed by Jan Hammer of “Crocket’s Theme” fame. But you don’t get bonus points for that.

The original Grandstand theme was called “News Scoop” by Len Stevens and was used between 1958-1971. But you don’t get bonus points for that either.

You would have got a bonus point if you sent me your best Sid James chuckle … but nobody did
