May Quiz Results – Trudy Truly Brilliant

Did you try the ‘Not in the Ballroom Quiz’ for this month? Compiler Helen Fellows chose film and TV as the theme.  

There was a clear winner this time. Trudy Ashmore scored a brilliant nineteen out of twenty. To be strictly fair she scored nineteen-and-a-half out of twenty, because her only mistake was the first name of one of the Mitchell brothers from Eastenders.
