I think it's about time we had a quiz
1st one to get all 10 correct answers is the winner, o'k?
1) What are the two cities in the Charles Dickens novel A Tale Of Two Cities? 2) How many films did Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor star in together? 3) In the film The Wizard Of Oz, what does Dorothy have to steal from the Wicked Witch of the West? 4) Which US disc jockey is the subject of the 1996 film Private Parts? 5) In which Beatles song are the names Vera, Chuck and Dave? 6) In which year were LP records first introduced? 7) What was the title of Marilyn Monroe's unfinished 1962 film? In which British river did novelist Virginia Woolf drown? 9) Lou Todd and Andy Pipkin are characters in which British TV show? 10) What is the name of the taxi driver played by Robert De Niro in the 1976 film Taxi Driver?
