Only 37 here, a lot of guessing, I got most of the film and TV ones wrong. I disagree about Rubik's Cube being popular in the 70s, it was definitely early 80s.

Quite a few guesses!
Trivia is about the only thing I can remember though!

I was born in 1982 and got 32.

Friolero · 10/04/2019 07:53

I got 39, and that was with a lot of guessing Blush

Er ... I knew that.

But there were some stinkers

36... Born 1985. Lots of guesses.

BlueMerchant · 10/04/2019 08:18

Born in 80. Got 32.

MissCalamity · 10/04/2019 23:09

33/80, very disappointing! Born in 1979.

JaneJeffer · 19/04/2019 21:24

Got 40 but we didn't have English TV channels so I didn't know those ones.

Thisimmortalcurl · 19/04/2019 21:38

46/80 - born in 1979

JustDanceAddict · 20/04/2019 08:52

I got 46 - not great - I was a teenager in the 80s!

MeganChips · 20/04/2019 09:07

48 and I was born in 1973, not great!

PhysaliaPhysalis · 20/04/2019 09:23

34, born in 1978. A lot were guesses too.
If it were a 90s quiz though...

The80sweregreat · 21/04/2019 21:00

41/ 80. Considering my mumsnet name I should have done better than that.
I didn't watch much tv or films then to be fair.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 22/04/2019 01:01

45

To be fair I was only 4 when the 80’s started

MillicentMartha · 22/04/2019 01:22

48, with some lucky guesses. Born in 1966 so I should have done better, really.

elp30 · 22/04/2019 05:16

I got 44/80.
I don't feel so bad though because a great deal of those questions were UK-centric and I lived in the US during the 80's.

LaLaLamp · 22/04/2019 06:25

31 but was not into pop and a lot of telly at the time

TSSDNCOP · 22/04/2019 06:48

40 which is a shocker

Jojoanna · 22/04/2019 06:58

60 but I was in my 20s in the 80s

Oblomov19 · 22/04/2019 07:07

Lots of them I just didn't know.

MsRabbitRocks · 22/04/2019 07:09

I got 48. I was born in 1981. They were hard but not unfair I think!
