But in a twist worthy of Machiavelli himself I cunningly decided to replace said picture round with the already legendary cheese round. Each team had a plate of 10 cheeses which they had to identify by appearance and taste. Sadly, I can't replicate the full experience in the blogosphere so you've got to go simply on appearance.

Like I have ANY idea on most of these. I guess I'll.. guess.
1) Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional was used in which superhero movie? I'm going to guess The Fantastic Four
2) Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen was used as the opening to the film documentary in which Morgan Spurlock lived off just junk food for a month. Name the film. Bonus point for naming the other half of the Double-A side that Fat Bottomed Girls was released as.
Supersize Me.
I'm going to guess "Bicycle Race" for the other tune, probably wrong.
3) What was the No 1 single on my birthday in 1997?
Hmm, gonna guess
b) Elton John – Candle in the Wind
4) No 1 Single on my birthday in 1987?
I'm gonna guess again:
a) Pet Shop Boys – It’s a Sin
though I don't know if it really hit #1. But I liked the song and the year has to be pretty close. Starship, Bleah.
5) No 1 Single on the day I was born in 1977?
good lord. I don't know.
a) Donna Summer – I Feel Love
6) Which acclaimed BBC sitcom used this Half the World Away by Oasis as its theme tune?
It's got to be one I don't know, so I'll guess "The O.C." (no idea what that show is).
7) Which German car maker Strange & Beautiful by Aqualung to advertise a new model in 2002?
I'll guess VW.
8) Name the top 5 best selling UK single of all time?
No. Idea. Whatsoever. Oops, that's only three. Oh, now it's five.
Uh, I'll throw out Elton John's Candle in the Wind rewrite and David Bowie's Space Oddity. Maybe?
Your quizzes are HARD!
Ha Ha, I do try!
Valiant attempt Valerie.
Although, The OC is actually a piece of American nonsense which, thankfully, the BBC had nothing to do with :)
Oh, that's hilarious!!! I don't watch U.S. TV, so had no idea. DUH. I feel quite silly now.
You shouldn't feel silly, you should feel proud that you didn't know what that piece of elitist crap is.
