second team didn't seem to get that picking the third row also completes the fourth row and you can use that as a sanity check, rather than randomly picking 4 out of 5 shakespeare-based things.

pvr didn't pick up the new series so i missed the first half...

Poptimists on OC are friends of mine, and were unaware of Poptimism.

My answer was Jesus Christ. I'd like to think I would have got the points.

ailsa, Tuesday, 4 December 2018 12:12 (seven years ago)

Great insider knowledge. Even with the extra time there's no way I was getting 'The Richard the Third Visitor Centre'.
