Congratulations to those of you who have slogged through two years’ worth of Thursday quizzes now, not least the quiz master who has written more than 1,500 questions and only made mistakes and typos in around half of them. Today, as ever, you face 15 questions on recent news and general knowledge, and for some reason lots of them are about geography. There are bonus points available in the comments if you can spot references to Doctor Who, but beware, you can lose points for needless quibbling.
