I think my book is wrong, it say's Alton Towers, but as I recall it WAS the grounds of Windsor Castle so that one goes to Graham.

And the final scores are as follows:

Graham - 8
Ramrod - 5
Strzelecki - 4
Gazzae - 1
Danielf - 1
Angua - 1
Everyone else - 0

Questions answered correctly:

1) Graham
2) Ramrod
3) Graham
4) Angua
5) Graham
6) Graham
7) Ramrod
8) Strzelecki
9) Graham
10) Danielf
11) Ramrod
12) Strzelecki
13) Gazzae
14) Graham
15) Strzelecki
16) Ramrod
17) Graham
18) Strzelecki
19) Ramrod
20) Graham

And I can't rep graham because I've already done it recently, so either someone else does it or he can wait til I've been generous with a few other people.

I was pretty sure it was, but I couldn't be certain.

Anyway, thanks for a great quiz and your next one will be next Friday at 1pm *sharp*!

PS Thanks to Ramrod and Homealone for the reps

<Mwahahahaa!>

Ooops, that was a *general* "your", not you personally!

And it seems that "It's a Royal Knockout" was, indeed, at Alton Towers, oh well...
