Tea and Jeopardy advent calendar competition!

Quite a few Tea and Jeopardy listeners have mentioned that they have a song they would like to have chickenised by the chickens in the show. If you feel the same way, read on…

If you’ve been listening to the Tea and Jeopardy advent calendar episodes, you’ve probably realised that a) they are very silly, b) we are very geeky and c) each one starts with a quote from a film.

Well, we thought it would be fun to run a competition involving these quotes.

If you can correctly identify the film that each episode’s quote comes from, then your name will be entered into the Tea Pot of Fortune from which one lucky winner will be picked to have the song of their choice chickenised.

The winner will be announced in the first Tea and Jeopardy Episode of 2015 and an MP3 of the chickenised song will be emailed to the winner.

When you think you’ve got all 25 films, put your answers in the following format:

[insert title of film the quote comes from]
[insert title of film the quote comes from]
[insert title of film the quote comes from]
Etc
Etc

And send them them in to us via the contact form.

All answers must be with us by January 5 2015.

Good luck!
