Huge congrats to our Christmas 2023 champion, Rorthron. Not only utterly invigorated, but also utterly walking away with it. 30 points! Wowzer! Equally huge congrats though to everyone else who took part, it's very nice to see such a spread of points there. Definitely the largest scoreboard we've seen so far. Also, a huge thank you to Van_Dammesque for contributing so much cool stuff for the quiz.

Anyway, that's it for this quiz, and that's it for Friday quizzes for 2023 (from me at least). It's been a journey. As usual, I've been GreenCard, you've been splendid. Merry Christmas to you all, and I hope 2024 is a happy and healthy year for all of us. Many thanks for playing.

By the way, did anyone do the colouring-in? If so, please post them here if you can so we can see them. I thought they were a fantastic idea.

[Rorthron]

Thanks for the great quiz. Very much appreciated. I missed the first rounds, but the crossword kept me entertained while I was ill in bed.

[Mpk]

Awesome quiz, thanks for putting it together.
I did the crossword on paper. Got them all except Tapper and Rockman.

Thank you @GreenCard for your side of the quiz, organizing and point keeping!
Only one mistake on the crossword, I'm doing well.

I would have got about 6-7 points, but didn't want to cause controversy

I was going to ask for the pics of the colouring in too.

[Van_Dammesque]

My effort:

[TMD2003]

Crikey o'blimey. I've been away for the entire crossword and still ended up third overall? Not bad. Is that worth... half a corned beef sandwich? Or will I have to settle for Spam? Or a jar of Aldi's beef paste?

Right, time for more fun with the Next...
