This is also the final episode we are using the quiz from The Saturday Paper. They are an extraordinary publication for Australian journalism who have put up with this barnacle of stupidity week in week out. We cannot thank them enough for their quizzes, hanging out in a park and doing the quiz with a stupid accent was literally how this show started. Thank you for 990 superb questions - except the ones about genocide, they were less useful to us.
