The Thursday quiz is still 15 questions about topical news and general knowledge, but is once again horribly discombobulated by appearing at 6.30am instead of its traditional 11am slot. Why? Because its author is moonlighting on the First Edition newsletter for a few weeks and has realised he could get away with shamelessly plugging the quiz if it was available. As ever, there are no prizes, but we do love to hear how you got on in the comments. Now for some coffee. Allons-y!

The Thursday news quiz, No 223

  1. 1.Who won the 2025 Booker prize for fiction?

    Someone holding a pile of books

  2. 2.It was resignations all round at the BBC, with Tim Davie (pictured) shepherding himself out the door marked: ‘Do one’. Also departing was the head of BBC News. Who?

    Tim Davie

  3. 3.Which children’s TV entertainment brand has admitted to selling headbands to kids without warning about the dangers of button batteries contained within?

    An old-fashion television

  4. 4.This is Willow, the official dog of the Thursday quiz, who rarely wears any clothes. But which European nation is the keenest on nudism, according to a recent survey?

    Willow in a fluffy blanket

  5. 5.It is approaching the time of year when various dictionaries announce different ‘words of the year’. What has Collins announced was its word of the year, despite being two words?

    A child's hand placing letter magnets on a whiteboard

  6. 6.Which of these pop stars is the latest to criticise Donald Trump for using their music, apparently commenting on Instagram: ‘Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda’?

    Donald Trump

  7. 7.Mandy Young (not pictured) has been contacted by her local council (pictured) after a complaint that …

    A clown

  8. 8.The ferry company DFDS apologised after what happened on one of its vessels (not pictured)?

    Boat

  9. 9.Two football fans have been banned from attending matches for three years after doing what to try to watch Southampton v Portsmouth?

    A toy football game

  10. 10.Which member of the cast said they had stopped eating meat after working on Wicked: For Good?

    Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande at the Wicked premiere

  11. 11.This week’s guest canine is the lovely Rosie. She wants to know which Star Wars universe actor has said they would consider returning to the franchise only if Disney doesn’t ‘succumb to fascism’?

    Rosie, sitting on someone's lap, with her tongue out

  12. 12.Here is Karl-Heinz with his opening lines, which almost rhymes. This week the Thursday quiz imagines the German soccer ace would like to know which play begins with the words ‘Nothing to be done’?

    Karl-Heinz Rummenigge with a cigar in his mouth

  13. 13.And now, least or most with Liberace’s ghost. This week the Thursday quiz imagines the ghost of Liberace would like to know which of these musicals has won the most Olivier awards?

    Liberace

  14. 14.A new species of ‘horned’ bee (not pictured, these are just some lovely basic bees) discovered in Australia has been given a somewhat demonic name. What is it?

    Bees in a hive

  15. 15.And finally … on this day with Brian May! And his badger! 13 November 1940 is the anniversary of the release of Walt Disney’s animated musical film Fantasia. The Thursday quiz imagines Queen’s legendary guitarist wants you to tell him – and his badger – which of these animals dance the ballet in the Dance of the Hours sequence?

    Brian May and Bill the Badger

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 watch I Am the Fear by IST IST instead?
