Period Drama Week - Monday: Period Drama Trivia Challenge

Our next event for Period Drama Week will be the Period Drama Trivia Challenge! Here I have fifty questions about different period dramas. See how many you can answer!

Rules:

• You get one chance to submit your answers.
• Go through as many questions as you can. If you don't know an answer, try to guess. You will not be deducted for wrong answers. You can leave the question blank if you do not know.
• Comment your questions in this post. I will not publish the comments, but I will record your answers. I will post a comment with how many everyone got right/wrong. It may help to subscribe to this post in the comments so you can see how many you've gotten right/wrong.
• The winners will be the top five people with the most correct. If there are more people who are in the top five than five, the rule of first-come-first-served will apply. For the five winners, I will make a special button for each one so they can post it on their sidebars. I will post those buttons in the concluding post for Period Drama Week, so you can pick it up then! The size will be 200 pixels by 200 pixels and will include your name/username/or blog name even and "Winner of Period Drama Trivia Challenge. If you want it to be bigger or smaller, let me know: I won't go smaller than 150 px by 150 pixels or bigger than 300 pixels by 300 pixels.
• Submit your answers by Friday at 11:55.
