    Quick fire Tony Hall

    You know those dichotomous "Quick Fire" quizzes for celebs, tagged onto interviews in newspapers and Radio Times these days - East Enders or Corrie, Masterchef or Bakeoff....

    Tony Hall is subjected to a particularly cretinous one in today's Times (Top Gear or James Bond, Jeremy Paxman or Evan Davies, Savile Row or Paul Smith etc )

    What lighthearted quick fire quiz would Forumites set for Tony Hall, or indeed Alan Davey, to see what they're really made of?

    For starters:

    Toscanini or Furtwangler?
    Wagner or Puccini?
    "Breakfast" or "Today"?

    Farming Today or Oklahoma?

    Horowitz or Tureck?

    Vanessa Mae or Ida Haendel?

    Am I in the groove yet, boss?

      I'd thought there was a comma missing between quick and fire but seems I was under the wrong impression of what the thread was about.
