I thought I was heading for another total wipeout until I came across one of the few tracks I know from the 90s. I nailed that in 2 secs but sadly it remained the only movement of the scoreboard as my usual favoured 60s blew me out!! :-D

Complete flop. Recognised the nineties one but unable to put a name to it.

Vague recognition of the 60s but couldn't name it. However I redeemed that with a 2secs for the 70s but apart from a faint bell ringing for the 90s that was my lot! :-D

Do I detect that the Falcon's match schedule has been suspended for the world cup? :?: or has he fallen by the wayside in the face of such dynamic opposition from the rest of us? :-D

Normal service resumed, an easy 2secs for the 60s, recognised but couldn't name the 70s and blew out on the rest! :)

Pretty normal effort today with 5secs for the 60s and 8secs for the 90s being my only successes! :-D

Eighties. Seven Seconds. :-D Thought that this was a nineties song though.
Nineties. :(
2000s. :(
other 2000s. Annoying. 'Knew' this but couldn't put a name to it or them. :(

A normal quiz question which we haven't had for a while:

What do Ken Barrington, Fred Titmus and Ian Botham have in common with Billy Connelly?
