BBC weekly quiz: How did this ship end up in a Norwegian garden?

• Published
  29 May 2025

This week saw Elon Musk part ways with the White House, Gary Lineker present his final Match of the Day, and the world of television pay tribute to former BBC presenter and executive Alan Yentob.

But how much attention did you pay to what else happened in the world?

Quiz collated by Ben Fell.

A solid 4. Still cheesed off.

Enjoy

 

I only guessed three correctly . . . . you're still in the lead, Blondie

 

4 for me as well. Had high hopes for this one after getting the first three right.

Cheers @Blond Bombshell.

 

2/7 Ah well, it's the taking part, good to be back
Cheers Blond

 

Hope you had a good holiday mate.

 

One down on last week at...

Cheers mate , yes a good break and the chance to have a bit of a sup. My post says “ good to be back” That means back on the quiz , obviously not good to be back to Annfield Plain !

Guardian Thursday quiz
Glitching maps, missing bees and antique cheese – take the Thursday quiz
Questions on general knowledge and topical trivia, plus a few jokes, every Thursday. How will you fare?

One of these days, like an exciting curveball, the Thursday quiz is going to end up appearing on a Wednesday or a Friday, just to keep everybody on their toes, but not this week. It is definitely Thursday, and this is definitely an increasingly weirdly niche quiz about topical news, general knowledge, and pop culture, which is excited today to lean into genuine newsy questions about Sparks and Doctor Who. There are no prizes, sadly, as the Thursday quiz operates on the most shoestring of budgets, but we hope you have fun and will let us know how you get on in the comments.

The Thursday quiz, No 213

An average 9, enjoy

 

I got an impressive (for me) 12.
Even more impressive, i must have been on 12/14, as I got the last 2 wrong.
Obviously got the Nicko Mcbrain one right , but my guessometer was on form tonight.

 

A very poor 7/16
Must try harder

 

5/16
It’s bedtime. Should have left it til morning and faced it energetically.
Cheers Blond

 

I guessed 10 correctly . . . . decent, I think

 

The 50% Guaranteed Quiz

https://www.joe.co.uk/quiz/the-joe-friday-pub-quiz-week-454-490492

Here is the quiz
You get through the first two rounds with ease, bar one slip of the thumb. You can’t be bothered to refresh the page so you continue, adding that one you actually knew but still got wrong to your final score. You see the words ’round four, musicals’ and let out a frustrated sigh/intrigued ‘ooooh’ (delete as appropriate). You are pleasantly surprised by its relative ease, because this is a quiz for everyone.

You have some confidence going into the final round, with a record score in your sights and just five questions remaining. What is your film knowledge like? This could be make or break.

At least, that’s how I hope this quiz goes for you. Good luck.

An earth shattering 11

11. Might go back to bed...

Enjoy

 

I guessed 13 correctly . . . . pretty average

 

18/25 I was having a very good run then hit the film questions, oh dear.
I'm still a happy bunny though

 

I guessed 3 of them correctly
