What a brilliant idea for a quiz! Got about three quarters correct. Keep it up. All the best to you and yours. 👍👍👍

[@stuviewtv]

Many thanks!

[@willcorlett7630]

Grrr, got me with That's Life

[@beldarin]

Me too! I thought it was Parkinson

[@MikeKeel]

@@beldarin I thought it was Dave Allen

[@edronuk7656]

Just 15/20. I never realised how much TV I used to watch back then.

[@j0hnf_uk]

The, 'That's Life', one caught me out, although they changed the set for that every year. The, 'Bread', one was an educated guess. The, 'Swap Shop', one had a couple of give-aways in the shape of Posh Paws and the Top Ten swaps board. The phone number was different to the usual one, though. 288 instead 811!

[@fus149hammer5]

It also had a book on the table entitled Swap Shop....

[@robertjackson3552]

and the name on the wall

[@gpo746]

Same here, only missed Yes minister, that's life and Blakes 7 .

[@snowysnowyriver]

Got them all except for one. Somehow I got Multi-Coloured Swap Shop as Blue Peter!

[@marilynkennedy8236]

13/20 scored. Great quiz.

[@michaelshearing6410]

Ester Bloody Rantzen done for me 19/20

[@outdooradventures8773]

I got 17, not too shabby !

[@Simaritan]

I got "Fawlty Towers" and "That's Life" wrong. Another great quiz, Stu.

[@stuviewtv]

Thank you!

[@Aidankiwi]

18/20 That's Life & Grange Hill caught me out

[@alisonjackson-bass495]

Great idea for a quiz 🏆

[@daveb5892]

Damn Blakes 7 and That's life I got wrong...great quiz and some tasty blues guitar for some questions...

[@trevorwilliams6404]

Same 2 wrong

[@jonathonrowley3535]

One thing I learned today ? We all used to watch way too much TV !!!

[@davidsworld5837]

yes far too much good quality tv series not like the junk BBC make today

[@annapasicznyk9254]

15 correct 😊

[@michaelrawson6261]

Got 'em all, took me til the very last second to get That's Life, but the rest were doddle.

[@stuviewtv]

Top stuff!

[@fannycraddock99]

16, my best effort so far.

[@daveabbott]

18/20 Thats life and -unbelievably, one of my favourit progs, Fawlty Towers - thought it was the bar from Porridge

[@robalexander8065]

Got all 20. Must have square eyes!

[@stuviewtv]

Top man!

[@busternineshoes]

Good Life and Grange Hill were my failures. Could try harder...

[@alisonjordan]

Empty Set Challenge Quiz: 18/20.😃 An enjoyable visual quiz. I thought “Steptoe and Son” was “The Young Ones” “Blake Seven” was “Red Dwarf.”!! I did a lot better than some quizzes🤔

[@fluffyfour]

Thought Steptoe and Son was "Bottom" and Grange Hill was "Please, Sir". Other than that I definitely watched too much telly when I was young!

[@MikeKeel]

I thought Grange Hill was Please Sir, too or Mind Your Language.

[@sb6678]

Great quiz. Nr 12 I got right only because the telephone number was displayed!

[@KenLonsdale-kp5bj]

4 right I never watched any British tv shows.😎🇬🇧🤷‍♂️

[@Theagchm]

OK, the elephant in the room....the 'empty set' means there are no answers. I know what Stu meant but I am choosing to take a mathematical view on the quiz (not that it helped). I got 17 out of 20 and in my dotage I am happy with that :). Thank you Stu for setting these great quizzes.

[@stuviewtv]

Glad you are enjoying them! Many thanks.

[@jimmyviaductophilelawley5587]

You got me on the good life and eastendesrs shit pic of the Queen Vic could have been anywhere. ....best wishes and take care

[@CyberCurtainTwitcher]

Nearly got them all, which makes a change.

[@naly202]

Those TV shows I know, I recognized instantly

[@joannegray5138]

I got the Good Life and Grange Hill wrong - I'm going to go let Gripper Stebson kick my head in now 🙄

[@YelpBullhorn]

And if Zammo tries to get you on drugs, you know what to say....

[@FishpondsLady]

Thanks

[@stuviewtv]

You are a superstar. Thanks!

[@cdub5033]

spaced on only the Blakes 7 one.

[@mistie710]

Never liked Bread so that caught me out.

[@davidsworld5837]

the swap shop one was not an empty set there was 6 people behind the glass you could see. mind Bread set was easier since table fully set gave number idea.

[@joemorris143]

Music sounds like the Stones.

[@YelpBullhorn]

Just That's Life, Bread and Blackadder wrong.

[@thomassutherland377]

Although I've seen all of these shows I still got 4 wrong

[@jfergs.3302]

17/20

[@weaverinahollygarden109]

Yes same here That's life got me.

[@mral8145]

Whoohoo got them all right 🥳

[@stuviewtv]

Fantastic!

[@joemorris143]

Well first 2:30 did.🤣

[@rickwagemakers8141]

Only 5

[@MrAndyshef]

I got Blackadder2 and Thats life wrong

[@tracysteele7652]

I got 17 0ut of 20

[@shiphaylane]

Only 2 wrong not bad.👍

[@stuviewtv]

Great score!

[@eddiepennington345]

Some of these are very obscure and little used vviews of the stes!

[@eddiepennington345]

To prove a point i just failed to get the set of Allo Allo and I'm half way watching the box set of the entire series!

[@Zooumberg]

@@eddiepennington345 I've not seen Allo Allo in years, but I got it. I didn't get That's Life or The Young Ones.

[@cheekymonkeys6345]

No. 18 is from 'Mind Your Language'. Not 'Grange Hill'.

[@shibaricognoscenti14]

I thought that! So maybe I got 13/20

[@terrythomas1329]

Think you will find it is "Please Sir"

[@fus149hammer5]

@@terrythomas1329 Yeah my first thought was Please Sir.👍

[@catherinesmalley8587]

I thought it was Mind Your Language too but then that was on ITV not BBC.

[@paulstirk4964]

@@terrythomas1329 Please Sir was ITV

[@klisher]

only thats life wrong and never used to watch that.
