Welcome again to the Thursday quiz, accurately described in the comments last week by someone called “fishworld” as a test of “knowing stuff about things”. Unfortunately, while some of the stuff is topical news that you will have seen on the Guardian website, some of the things are completely obscure and entirely at the whim of a capricious nerdy quiz master. There are bonus points available in the comments if you can spot oblique references to Doctor Who, but beware, you can lose points for needless quibbling. And this week we are going to try leaving the comments open for a little longer, as due to something called “time zones”, there are some people for whom this is, essentially, the Friday quiz. Be kind to each other and have fun!

The Thursday quiz, No 106
