    Bloody hell, that was a pure guess.

    I'm going to take this one straight from my "International Rules" OP:

    Yesterday was the second time in history that Australia has sent an all-indigenous sporting team abroad to represent their Country. Can anyone guess when the other time was? (Incl what sport?)

    I know it was cricket because you told us on the other thread! I'll leave it to someone else to look it up for the date, but I reckon it was early, 19th century sometime?

    In 1983 nearly 126 million Americans, or over 60% of US households, tuned in to watch a single TV programme. What was it?

    Nope, Swords on the right lines, it was a regular scripted TV programme, not a sporting or other special event.

    Beth gets it, the final episode of MASH, the TV series that lasted about 5 times longer than the war it depicted and was complete crap compared to the film it was ripped off from.
