The quiz is a simple one this week. Just identify the quiz show from the view of the contestants featured in each picture. They're from the UK, US and Australia, so don't worry too much if you can't get them all. Drop your answers in the comments, and be thankful that there's not an audience of thousands watching if you mess it up!

Last Weeks Answers:
1) The UKs last executions were in 1964, and ours was in 1967. Australia by a nose!
2) The WNBA is the (Australian) Women's National Basketball Association, and the Capitals are from Canberra.
3) That's an Ionic capital. Doric is the one on the left.
4) Axis and Allies. The current versions have different win conditions.
6) That's the spirit descending on the disciples at Pentecost.
7) Bloemfontein is where the magic happens.
8) Capital letters were also known as majuscule.

Apparently this one was harder than I thought! Sorry about that! John carries the day with 4/10, with Ale just a point behind on 3.
