After the recent kerfuffle over what constitutes the first line of a play, the Thursday quiz has decided to avoid theatre altogether and focus instead on its core principles: sowing mischief, mayhem and mild confusion. Take your seats, silence your mobile phones and prepare for 15 questions of topical tomfoolery – and a couple of cute-looking dogs. There are no prizes, but we love it when you tell us how you got on in the comments. Allons-y!
The Thursday news quiz: No 225
If you really do think there has been an egregious error in one of the questions or answers – and can show your working and are absolutely 100% positive you aren’t attempting to factcheck a joke – you can complain about it in the comments below. Why not remember Mani by watching the iconic Top of the Pops performance of Fool’s Gold by the Stone Roses instead?
