Quiz Questions for w/e 7th June

Well it’s quiz time.

A couple of people have asked me where I get my questions from - I make them up - I have settled on a format I quite like that helps with setting the questions (movie, science, current events etc). I use various sources to check the answers (IMDB, Wikipedia and various quiz setting books, plus stuff I’ve heard during the week)

Feel free to let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
