Chortle's trivia quiz

Despite the enmity, I thought I'd post the link to Hayden's quiz. Surely you must know the name of the Rutles' special?

Is there enmity?

Just a "joke". How did you get on?

Too difficult for me.

So you wouldn't know the name of Rutles' second album or the actor who played Egghead in Batman?

Actually I do know the second one, Vincent Price.

Correct. Evolution was the Rutle's second album.

Off topic I know but the Rutles are playing some gigs this year. Margate festival in May for one.

I always really liked Neil Innes.

Met his parents back in the 1980s when they lived somewhere on the Norfolk/Suffolk border and were breeding Irish Wolfhounds.

For those Rutles fans who came in late:

As for the Chortle quiz. Would be more fun to have checkboxes and multiple choice options or even a "write an answer" checkbox, so could "do" the quiz online and get a score.

Correct. Evolution was the Rutle's second album.

Apparently it was Archeology. Maybe Evolution was Spinal Tap's?

Neil Innes was too into his music, Eric is the real comedy song Idol (for me). Kenneth you are a veritable mine of interesting facts, you should do a comedy quiz.*
