I'll do mine later. I have to do some googling, I don't know the first thing about some of these TV shows. I wouldn't even know where to start on Drag race, Strictly, Great British bake off and Stranger things.

I'm not confident in this round, I'll be happy with being mid-table after this first round.

That's fine - everyone can change their answers (although more than once would get annoying, and I can't change my own even though I want to now I've seen everyone else's I thought I was so clever with one of the answers, and it's so far got no back-up )
