Hello,

Just been to the inlaws who had a comedy quiz. Flew through most of them, but stuck on one & thought I'd test your comedy brains.

Lots were obvious like "double greetings" being hello hello & "no tax at the airport" being duty free.

But I can't work out "secretary's sport"

Just a silly quiz, not even a prize involved but doing my head in!!

Any ideas?

Any clues - is it likely to be a sitcom? British?

Seems to be mainly sitcoms but from UK & USA & from all eras.

Answers to others range from Till Death Us Do Part to Mash to Steptoe & Son to Miranda to The Goodies to Hancock's Half Hour

In my office it's not Still Game.

My mind was thinking in terms of secretarial skills - eg typing, shorthand - which I know doesn't give indication of leisure or sporting prowess; but wasn't there a sit com with John Inman called, "Take A letter, Miss Jones?" . . . . ???

Not a sitcom but US show 'Running In Heels'??

If the secretary in question played golf, maybe it's Tee Office?
