Spurty knowledge

One or two things are alarming me this morning. The first is that Buffy was someone's specialist subject on Mastermind. I love Buffy, but Mastermind specialist subjects are supposed to be things like, "The creation of intrusive, ultrabasic, peraluminous ingenous rocks in North America between 5,000,000BC and 3,000,000BC". Somehow a thorough working knowledge of a TV programme, however widely lauded, however fully realised and thematically weighty, seems a little feckless in comparison with the Mastermind I grew up with. Still, times change. The second alarming thing is that I knew all the answers but one off the top of my head.

1) What was the address Buffy gave when she phoned for an ambulance in The Body?

2) Who was Xander’s best man in Hell's Bells?

3) In which episode was Dawn introduced?

4) To whom did Anya think was she engaged in Tabula Rasa?

5) How did Flutie die in The Pack?

6) How did Buffy kill The Judge?

7) How did Buffy prove that Kathy was a demon in Living Conditions?

8) What did Anya think, apart from bunnies, might be causing the singing in Once More With Feeling?

9) What was Ted’s job?

10) What was the name of the oracle that Giles and Anya consulted in Showtime?

11) In which episode did Giles and Joyce kiss, Buffy drive a car and the doctor body surf?

12) How many hearts did the Gentleman have to get in Hush?

13) What happened to Amber the cheerleader in The Witch?

14) Who played Joyce?

15) What kind of statue did Brad steal for Harmony in Real Me?

16) What was the name of the character who was Buffy’s boyfriend between Angel and Riley?

17) What three word message did Ethan Rayne leave behind in Halloween?

If you're curious, the one I didn't know was 9.
