With Paddington In Peru, this week’s 30-question film quiz explores some other movie franchises that went on tour in their sequels…
Barring the time it took us to get over the “Oh heck, they’ve deported him” of it all, the prospect of Paddington In Peru has been eagerly anticipated since it was first announced. Now the threequel is in UK cinemas, we’ve been thinking about other sequels set in different locations to the originals, so you’ll find some questions about those in this week’s film quiz.
Once you’ve completed this week’s film quiz, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 31 again this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Also, please remember that dogs must be carried while quizzing.
