i better post this now because i don't see where it could possibly keep on... they were all blind-ass dumb fudge guesses.

"Superb work! Correct answer.
So far, you've scored 3 out of 3."

1. the fact that you use the word "decal" is SOOOOOO 1973.  Loving it.
2.  live and let die...the theme gives the year away
3.  the russians in orbit? or was it a Mars mission?

At the tender age of 2, I'm surprised I got any of them - but hubby calls me a vast book of useless knowledge....
Guess he is wrong since my score is 4-11 ;D

7/11 not bad considering I was 4 at the time and some of the questions were american based.

Does anyone know when the new series of Life on Mars is starting?

Philip is telling lies!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have just finished filming the second series to be shown next spring though that will be the last one. They have filmed two different endings apparently. There is going to be a spin off series set in the 80's starring some of the characters from this series.
