Movie Quizwoz - Christmas 2012

Christmas Quizwoz

Just for fun.

My “hopefully” fiendish Christmas Quizwoz (aka The Quizard Of Woz). Mostly film and TV questions but some books and stuff thrown in for good measure too. Absolutely no prizes, but if you send your answers here... nuts4r2@hotmail.com... I’ll list the people who got the most answers right... along with the actual answers very soon after the closing date (please remember to say how you want to be named in case you are a high scorer).

If you're gonna have a go, please get your answers to me before noon on New Years Eve, UK time.

Good luck.
