Posted October 8, 2005 Test The Nation is on the BBC1 now. It's testing your English this time. If you want to play along you can print a scorecard from here http://www.bbc.co.uk/testthenation/scorecard.shtml Should be better than more pointless ones they did previously like who knows the most about 2004. Or you can take it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/testthenation/english/index.shtml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 8, 2005 I will be interested in Saturday night television when the BBC try and come up with a new and entertaining concept rather than a glorified spelling test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 8, 2005 If this show had more naked women, explosions or zombies, it would rekindle my interest. Alas, it lacks all qualities which make the world go round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 9, 2005 I love English, and I love to point out mistakes, it's one of my buttons. However I couldn't find it in myself to complete this test, it was too lame. I got a C at GCSE level for Language and Literature, however I missed an entire test, and half (54 marks, I think) of another, so yeah, I'm not too bad.
