Another bloody #harlequiz
Hello, and welcome to autumn! (That has nothing to do with the theme of tonight's quiz, btw.)
Usual format tonight - 25 questions, with a theme running through the answers. You don't have to guess the theme to take part but - if you do - it might help you. If you do look for the theme, beware soundalikes, hidden words, and instances where you have to put consecutive answers together. Also, some of the answers are real, some are fictional. Ready? Good luck!
