3. Which contestant carries a whistle around with them?
4. Who did Clive suggest had been "down on their knees all night"?
5. Who said "Take me, big boy, and kiss me like there's no tomorrow!"?

2. The ever-popular compact economy Joke-mobile?
3. Clive's impersonal favourite?

THE WINNERS:
1st - Michelle (21)
2nd - Emile Jumean (21)
3rd - Julie Barman (18)
4th - Vicki Asato (18)
5th - Kiwi Moron (12)
6th - Sofi Papamarko (9)
7th - Molly (7)
8th - Katrina (7)

A surprisingly difficult quiz this time, with only a few of the answers to be found around these pages (questions 7, 9 and 10). A number of the others required either on a good memory of the show, or lots of tape searching! Or good guessing.
Because of multi-part questions, this quiz was out of 22 - but don't be disappointed even if you don't get anywhere near that!

THE ANSWERS:
1. Debi Durst (baseball cap). Also accepted Josie (headbands, etc.?). Anyone else I'm pretty sure was only during games.
2. Tony, Greg, Jimmy Mulville were the three I was thinking of. Also okay were Ryan, Paul and Josie. Colin just gets in for his 'Oh screw you' to Clive, and Caroline would be censored in America for saying "Arse!" so she's ok too :)
3. Archie Hahn - in the first episode and series 2 (same episode as the castanet incident).
4. Sandi Toksvig - shortly before Paul does the 'neck blowing bubblegum' joke in a compilation episode.
5. Brad Sherwood - in Whose Line (policeman pulling up someone for speeding).
6. Paul Merton and Caroline Quentin. (the 2nd is Lenny Henry and Dawn French, both from the radio version of WL)
7. i) Ryan Stiles ii) Jonathan Pryce iii) Colin Mochrie iv) Denalda Williams
8. Josie Lawrence (in the Christmas episode she stands and knocks the table)
9. i) Mike McShane ii) Sandi Toksvig iii) Colin Mochrie iv) Ryan Stiles v) John Sessions
10. Steve Frost/Steven Fry, John Sessions/Jim Sweeney, Jim Meskimen/Jimmy Mulville.

THE QUESTIONS:
1. What could you get in exchange for all your autographed pictures of Cilla Black?
2. What is Mark's telephone number? (and I don't mean my number! It's from the show!)
3. Home Improvement's Jonathan Taylor Thomas seems to make a habit of co-starring with Whose Line contestants. Name four contestants and the movies they appeared in with him. Bonus points if you come up with more than four :-)
4. What did Ryan get in trouble for not keeping in his handbag?
5. What is Mrs Haversham's first name?
6. "You can have a gold, silver, and a green and red at Christmas"... what is being talked about?

10. Yasser Arthur, Dick, Tommy Timkins and Trixie have all talked about what?

THE WINNERS:
1st - Emile Jumean (10/10)
2nd - Ashley Cook (10/10)

Well, a little harder indeed... this was a quiz intended to make things quite difficult and indeed it succeeded! Only two people with all the answers correct. The questions came from all different points in the history of the show - and this was made harder by the fact that many could not be easily identified as being from a certain series! The third question was a little hard, although the IMDB provided an easy solution, and the answer was posted anonymously on the message board anyway. Question 5 was quite hard too - a very obcure reference, especially as she was identified as "Mrs Haversham" by one person and the first name was only briefly mentioned by another. The last question was made a little easier by that episode screening in the US just after the quiz went up :)

THE ANSWERS:
1. A laser engraver (ep. 7.2 - Film & Theater Styles - 2 high tech thieves (Ryan, Greg), Home Shopping)
2. 34519 (ep. 8.5 - Song Styles - Niall sings to Mark the Bank Manager)
3. George Wendt (Man of the House), John Sessions and Griff Rhys Jones (Pinnochio) and Mike McShane (Tom & Huck). Also, Dawn French (Pinnochio) was in the radio version of WLiiA?.
4. A jellyfish (ep. 4.12 - Whose Line (Brad, Ryan) - one being pulled up by a cop).
5. Josie (2.8 - Musical - WW2 Aeroplanes, School Caretakers and the Pools. Mike calls Josie "Mrs. Haversham", Ryan calls her "Josie")
6. Milk bottle tops (ep. 3.3 - John Sessions' Milkmen Gospel).
7. Dame Edna (ep. 1.10 - Couples, with John and Enn Reitel).
8. He Invaded My Chip Shop (ep. 6.4 - Film Trailer - Tony plays Cheese who stars as 'the small dark stranger')
9. "I've got my eye on a palomino at the moment" (ep. 3.11 - Expert Translation on Volvos - Paul translating for Josie)
10. Smoking (ep. 1.3 - Panel, they were played by Peter Cook, Stephen Fry, John Sessions and Josie Lawrence respectively)

3rd - Alana Odokeychuck (10/10)
4th - Emile Jumean

6th - Kirk

Hardest questions were Ryan's video and song (since they aren't exactly the most memorable parts!) - the answers to this could be found on my trivia page. Paul Merton's imitator was a little confusing, Tony and Rory were amongst the other answers suggested. The series 9 questions weren't a big problem for most people.

THE ANSWERS:
1. Ryan, Tony hosted; 2. He was white water rafting; 3. Dodgems; 4. a werewolf; 5. Riverdance; 6. "Get Away From Those Hamsters", "Ballroom Blitz"; 7. Steve Steen; 8. Josie; 9. Camel; 10. Fireworks.

WINNERS:
1st: Ashley Cook
2nd: Emile Jumean
3rd: Alana Odokeychuk
4th: Todd "this courtroom is a Mochrie" Gallant
5th: Kerry Wagoner

This quiz was a little easier, since few people got all the answers correct on the last one! All of the answers (I think) could be found on the Hoedowns page, I tried to make it a little harder by including questions which you wouldn't be able to just do a search for. The only problem question was number 10, a few people said the "Instrumental!" line which was, in fact, in a March, but I took it anyway.

THE ANSWERS:
1. Tony Slattery; 2. Going grey, firefighting in Germany; 3. Big Ben; 4. Clive; 5. Women; 6. Hugh Grant; 7. Crossed himself with an elephant and got crushed; 8. Tony Blair; 9. Clive Anderson; 10. Many possible answers - fainting, heart attacks, walking off in a huff (being stood up hoedown), danced around (lottery hoedown), smiling through the second half of the song, singing in German, singing on the wrong topic (see q. 2), and also "Instrumental!" was accepted although it was in fact from a March.

1st: Alana Odokeychuk
2nd: Emile Jumean
3rd: Daniel Dharmasurya
4th: Ashley Cook
5th: Tara

I thought this might be a fairly easy quiz to start off with, but a few of the questions turned out to be quite difficult... there's quite a difference of opinion over the game following Film Trailer in question 10 (Clive does in fact announce the name of the game, as in the answers) There were also more suggestions than I expected for question 8 so I accepted basically anyone put forward (it's too hard to check!). Anyway, congratulations to:

THE ANSWERS:
1. Colin Mochrie; 2. Gets You Pissed; 3. John Sessions; 4. Tony Slattery; 5. Any of: "On the whole I'd prefer a dog", "Can you smell something burning?", "Bad Sneakers and a pinata, my friend!", "Does it usually throb like that?"; 6. John Sessions; 7. Richard Vranch; 8. Accepted anyone suggested (too hard to check) but particularly Stephen Fry, Peter Cook, Ryan Stiles, Caroline Quentin, Tony Slattery (?); 9. Paul Merton performed, Archie Hahn did the effects; 10.
