Easy peasy. Everyone knows what Dorrie Evans used to say don't they?

I'm a sad case... got a mind like a sponge for tv ads, crap shows and other useless information. Confident of 100% - no google!

Clearly - I watched way too much TV as a youngster... I reckon on getting 15-16...

I guessed 3 - knew the rest with confidence; but I have no idea who Dorie Evans is when he/she is home?!

16 also - got Q3 & Q11 wrong (and two correct guesses for Q4 and Q13).

I'm 44yo so Gen X not Boomer - too young to watch #96 - although I do remember catching a glimpse of Abagail's ample bossom, peering around the hallway wall

Yep, agree. 100%. Sad.

I think that if I thought about, I could probably even remember the name of Dorrie's husband. And I wasn't even allowed to watch No 96!

My brain is full of useless rubbish.

dunno about the last one, M&M's came to Oz in about 1990 and that is not really baby boomer time
Gather it is originally a yank test?


Reminds me of Talkin 'bout your generation on Ch10
The GenY lose so consistently it is an embarassment. How insular they are and ignorant of anything before their time. T
