Specialist subject - R.E.M. Cheers Neil PS - If any of you has the means of recording it onto DVD, I'll trade it for a blank DVD and some Beth goodies. Please e-mail me if you can do so. Thanks.

I can make a DVD copy through my computer, but it is only terrestrial quality, so if someone with Sky Plus can help then it's best to ask them. If you have no volunteers before the weekend, then give me a shout, and I'm more than willing to help.

Beth-fan Posts: 66 Group: Senior Member Member #92 Joined: February 4, 2006	The Rolling Stones feller must have been so disappointed, but to be fair, his questions were quite demanding, and much more obscure than mine. A bloke did Bowie a few weeks back and only managed 7 on what I thought were a decent set - I got 10 without being a particularly big Bowie fan. However, in their defence, the questions do seem to vary a great deal. I didn't think that my REM questions were anywhere near as hard as they might have been, and consequently racked up a score that I was very pleased with. Neil

I won't even say how badly I would have done on the REM questions, and I certainly wouldn't have improved on your score in the general knowledge round. I have this theory that the g k q's are getting tougher because they've asked all the easier ones already. It's either that, or I'm getting stupider in my old age, which of course I couldn't possibly admit to! :rolleyes:

better by design Posts: 778 Group: Senior Member Member #32 Joined: July 14, 2005	I know a lot about REM and the Stones...wish I could see the questions (I have no idea what this show is, but I'd probably be good at it if I could just answer questions about U2 or the Beatles). Congrats for getting on though. We used to have Rock & Roll Jeopardy on VH1 for a few years, I tried like mad to get on it, but it never happened.

(for definite anyway) It say on the website you have to pick up to 4 subjects when entering. Which 4 did you pick?

I've managed to blag my way on again, and am on tomorrow's edition at 8pm on BBC2 You can see me probably look like a complete tit in the interview section, but doing OK for the rest of it Neil
