Bow Barkers took the May title, their second of 2025 after January, with Space Cadets in second place.
Appropriately enough for a night with quiz show themes in the music round, the Barkers played their cards right. Woof.
By the numbers
It was the first time the Barkers and the Cadets had finished first and second, and the Barkers drew first blood. With two wins each, Bow Barkers and Friends of Maddie shared the lead for 2025 so far.
A flavour of the questions
We’d love to share some of May’s questions, but the question sheet from that night has gone missing from the archive. Possibly confiscated by a team that wanted to revise. The picture round sheet survives, and it carried a new QR code promising a heads up about which round to play your joker in.
And yes, the night ended with the traditional last question, as it always does.
The music round: quiz show themes
The theme was quiz show themes, which at a quiz is pleasingly meta. Name the show from the music. The list of tunes went missing along with the question sheet, so you’ll have to hum your own.
And finally
Next up was June, and a Britpop music round with one notable absentee.
Every question from the night is in the questions archive, every winner is on the monthly winners board, and there are more photos in the gallery.
