I only got nine points, the contestant did well and got eleven with no passes.

I was quite pleased to get the 12 asked questions though on other episodes when there has been a subject I could test myself with I did terribly.
I felt for the young lady with the Shakespeare questions. They were a pretty lousy selection as most were observational rather than things she most likely knew about. If her questions were more akin to the Fire of London questions I expect she would have done much better.

Did not do that badly, just got the name of the mountain wrong.
If they used John Garth or Tolkien Society questions, I would have got zero correct

I just watched this on YouTube. I did not know the mountain and the screenplay writer, but I felt that a lot of the questions were easy. Many obvious from merely watching the movies once, but I guess it is hard to relate to what is easy and hard if you already know a lot of stuff.
