Belated IQ wrap-up: 3 was Brian George.

Post #136. I count:
two DQs earned from the reply in post #139 (the answer for 1 being G. Gordon Liddy, not George Peppard),
one asked in post #148,
one earned in post #149,
and one asked in post #156.

Looking back, I notice I didn’t say “1 DQ reserved” in post #148, which was sloppy of me.

Native English speaker but not from the UK? Why do you hate us?

DQ: Is current series airing on an American antenna channel (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, FOX, CW, etc)?
