Harry Houdini - Not Even You Could Have Escaped The Excitement Last Night!!

Charles C

An ominous 13(!) teams treated themselves to a spot of quizzing last night in what local critics might describe as the best place to be for Halloween. Attempting to scare the quizzers were questions on The Bay of Pigs, Fennel and Forrest Gump but if there was any fear, it wasn't shown. "Pass The Duchy" beat "Fake Quiz - Sad!" in a guess-the-height-of-Tom-Cruise tie-breaker (170cm - would you believe?!), winning themselves the bar tab. Only a handful of points separated the next few teams, with special mentions for: the celebrity recognition ability of "Two Pints Of Lager & A Packet Of Questions"; the chemical element knowledge of "Fisherman's Friends"; and "GOTRD", who got closest to the all-too-tricky (read: 'impossible') question 36. "Four's To Be Reckoned With" won through to the jackpot round but the £162 eluded them. Rollover for next week means £222 will be up for grabs.
