Ms_Chocaholic

For those people who like to get the answers correct, or like me, don't want to be embarrassed at getting 0 out of 15, here are the questions.

Unfortunately I don't know many of the answers - TV, what's that, I'm always on here

Question 1
One of the big hits of the autumn was the critically acclaimed Downton Abbey. Penned by Julian Fellowes and set in an Edwardian country house in 1912, it starred Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern. At which stately home was it filmed?
Castle Howard
Knole
Highclere Castle
Chatsworth

Question 2
TV's role at the heart of effective advertising campaigns was once more in evidence at this year's IPA Effectiveness Awards. The following were all worthy winners, but which of them picked up the Grand Prix?
AMV BBDO for Sainsbury - Feed Your Family for a fiver
BBH, for Barclaycard - Sliding Our Way Into a Greater Share of The Future
Fallon London, for Cadbury - The Joy of Content
MCBD for Hovis - As good today as it's always been

Question 3
You may have seen Thinkbox's latest TV ad, in which Harvey the dog turns to TV as the best way to get his message across and demonstrate his many skills. You may even be a Facebook friend of Harvey's. Can you spot which of the following is not true of the ad?

It was viewed over a million times on YouTube
Traffic to Thinkbox's site rose by 400 per cent
Harvey has been offered an honorary dogtorate for marketing by Brunel University

Question 4
The magnetic force of the schedule is clearly demonstrated by the fact that 89% of on-demand TV is being watched to catch up with linear TV; shows like Glee, where in Episode 1, Will Schuester's team of singing misfits came out of the blocks with a cover of an 80s rock classic. Can you tell us which track they chose to launch the show?
Can't fight this feeling - REO Speedwagon
Don't stop believin' - Journey
Don't stop - Fleetwood Mac
More than a feeling - Boston

Question 5
TV viewing continued to rise in 2010. The figures for January to September show that, on average, we watched some 27 hours, 34 minutes of live, linear TV each week. How does this compare to same period last year?
About an hour more
About two hours more
About two and half hours more
About the same

The Thinkboxes celebrate the UK's world-beating TV ad creativity, and we've seen some utterly brilliant stuff in the last 12 months.

Question 9
This year saw the UK's first ever televised election debate, not only something quite new in the evolution of our democracy, but also a gripping bit of telly that got tens of thousands of us Twittering, Facebooking and Googling - plus millions chewing it over in living rooms and pubs across the nation. How many debates between the three main party leaders were broadcast on national TV?
2 debates
3 debates
4 debates
5 debates



Question 10
In October, T-mobile welcomed 35,000 passengers to Terminal 5 with some uplifting and tuneful a capella. Thin Lizzy was heard, Mel Torm! was in there, as were the Kaiser chiefs, but which of these was not sung in the ad "Welcome Home"?

At Last - Etta James
The Passenger - Iggy Pop

Question 11

5.4%
6.8%
