    Guess The Year - Movies, TV, and Music Edition

    I have prepared 30 questions, each answer is a particular year.

    All questions are movies, tv, or music related. Please send me you answers in the order they are asked here via PM

    There is obviously no help allowed, like Googling or asking friends.

    Your answers will be scored as follows.

    You get the correct year - 3pts

    1 year out either side - 2pts

    2 years out either side - 1pt

    Winner will be the player who has the highest score over the 30 questions.

    I have no closing date, lets see how much interest there is.

    Good Luck all

    I know the first question so I confidently said to myself "I'll enter sure, how hard can it be?". The answer is very. Call me Jon Snow. This will be a car crash for me.

    A few I think I'm very close on, some I'm not even sure I'm in the right decade 🤣

    I'll add to the games later, almost have an Irish Sheep written for St Patrick's Day

    I've a feeling Kolido might have to loosen up the scoring.

    Yeah , to maybe 10 years either side ?

    I will put an entry in for a very paltry score though .. think I know a few music ones and that's it .

    Edit. I don't even know the music ones 🙈
