The tables are turned on Julia Zemiro and Brian Nankervis who are more used to asking the questions than answering them. But the host and co-creator and adjudicator-where-necessary of the long running and much loved music based quiz show, RocKwiz do exceedingly well at The Saturday Quiz, ignorance of furniture, royalty and the NFL notwithstanding.

Award winning brand strategist, Lucy Cochran and her husband - also an award winner - actor, writer, singer, composer Eddie Perfect, take on the ten questions in the quiz this week.There are no questions on Eddie's expert subject of Broadway musicals, but there is a question about cricket - which his first musical was about. In fact, the only question that really stumps them is which actress links the films Legends of the Fall, Sabrina, My Week with Marilyn and Ladies in Black? But I reckon that's because they've conflated her in their minds with another actress.

Not content with having had one host of The Feed as a guest last week, this week John is joined by Alex Lee and her partner, actor Benedict Hardie.

They're lucky enough to get the nerdiest sport question in the history of the quiz and Benedict also makes use of his knowledge of the lyrics of Weird Al Yankovic.

But do they know the year that the Queen called her Annus Horribilis?

Taking the quiz this week is actor and writer Virginia Gay, who isn’t a “mollydooker” and doesn’t know what one is, and newly announced host of Mastermind on SBS Marc Fennell who, despite having a Walkley award, was under the misconception that the vaccine making company CSL was the same company as the sugar producer CSR.

They make quite a few diversions on their way to the answers - but ultimately do very well.

The brain power of the guests, Tim Ferguson and Maynard, are severely tested in this first episode of the second season of The Saturday Quiz. They have almost zero knowledge of New Zealand autobiographers, and even less knowledge regarding Netball. But they can give you their opinions of James Bond songs... it's just a pity that there aren't any questions on that subject.

Four times as many questions plus two times as many guests equals more laughs than it’s possible to quantify. In this final episode of The Saturday Quiz, two teams of returning guests - Zoë Coombs Marr and Kate Jinx, and Sarah Snook and Dave Lawson - go up against each other in the ultimate battle of general knowledge. How does Dave’s expert category of “colours” fare against Zoë’s encyclopedic mastery of Xena: Warrior Princess? And what is better quiz preparation: Staying up late on a Sunday night in a different time zone, like Sarah? Or singing Christmas carols in the car on a long drive, like Kate?

Guests: Zoë Coombs Marr, Kate Jinx, Sarah Snook and Dave Lawson

The two guests joining John on this season’s penultimate episode are show business royalty. Mitchell Butel is an actor, singer and the artistic director of the State Theatre Company of South Australia, and Nancye Hayes AM is currently starring in Mitchell’s production of the play Ripcord to socially-distanced packed houses. Nancye was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2014 for significant service to the performing arts, particularly musical theatre - and the Hayes theatre in Sydney is named in her honour. Together they go a long way towards answering every single question, including: Which American jazz singer was nicknamed ‘Lady Day’, what a katana is, and whether or not Dunedin is North or South of Hobart.

Guests: Nancye Hayes AM and Mitchell Butel

Artists Amrita Hepi and Jason Phu do extremely well at the quiz, even though the one question in Arita’s expert category nearly trips her up. We never find out what Jason’s expert category might be, but he does know what colour Mickey Mouse’s shoes are and which part of the body tinnitus affects. He also thinks Nicholas Nickelby sounds like the name of an annoying person.

Guests: Artist and dancer Amrita Hepi and artist Jason Phu

Try as they might, old friends Agatha Gothe-Snape and Alison Bell just can’t seem to find the answers to the questions in this week’s quiz. But there’s plenty of laughter along the way as the artist and actor struggle to name Australia’s deputy opposition leader, the solar system’s hottest planet, and the No.1-ranked golfer in the world.
